CHQ NEWS:
MEETING WITH DIR (HR): DIR (HR) had elaborate discussion with all the affiliates of the United Forum on the twin issues contained in the notice served by the united forum i.e no recruitment of Sr DGMs and introduction of standard pay scales of E2 and E3 for JTOs/SDEs. PGM(SR), GM(Estt) and Addl GM(P) were also present.
At the very outset, Dir(HR) explained the organizational compulsions and the urgency to complete ITS absorption in recruiting Sr DGMs/Jt GMs, in addition to GMs/CGMs, through the provisions of new RRs. Director(HR) was of the view that the present state of uncertainty has to end as quickly as possible and that this is the right opportunity for the Company to have its own managerial hierarchy and fill up the vacuum likely to be created by repatriation of non optees.
Director (HR) also allayed the apprehensions that recruitment of Sr DGMs/Jt GMs will lead to abolition of JAG posts, mean DGMs will have to report to Sr DGMs and another functional layer would be created between JAG and SAG. None of these issues will arise on recruitment of Sr DGMs, Director (HR) emphatically stated. In fact, additional 271 JAG posts would be available since only 600 out of existing 871 posts of JAG occupied by ITS DGMs would be filled up through Sr DGMs/Jt GMs. Additional functional hierarchy ar Sr DGM would not be created since DGMs will continue to report to GMs only and no post of JAG shall stand abolished by recruiting Sr DGMs/Jt GMs, Director (HR) asserted.
From our side, we firmly maintained that recruitment of Sr DGMs is completely unwarranted and is nothing but an encroachment on existing BSNLMS RRs and a clear assault on our career growth which is already squeezed. Management has never recognized huge HR potential the organization has and made no effort to exploit this huge talent because of deep rooted prejudice that management has towards us. Recruitment of Sr DGMs/Jt GMs in utter disregard of BSNLMS RRs is a very clear vindication of this prejudice and will lead to creation of parallel RRs and cadres that is dangerous for the Company, we asserted and maintained that this cannot be accepted under any circumstances.
We also explained how important it is for the Company to introduce CPSU cadre hierarchy since seniority which is today become an extremely thorny and complex issue would lose to have any meaning in the context of CPSU cadre hierarchy where change of pay scales along with change of designation is based on performance and post availability up to JAG is not an issue. In fact, the mechanism of CPSU cadre hierarchy is being followed in other potential CPSUs in a flawless manner. This mechanism of promotion is already contained in the terms and conditions of our absorption wherein it is stated that our promotions from JTO to SG/JAG would be between 4-6 years on a time bound basis up to JAG beyond which the promotions would be linked to availability of posts. Management must act very quickly to introduce CPSU cadre hierarchy.
On the issue of standard pay scales of E2 and E3 for JTOs and SDEs, we mentioned that major concern and hesitation that management have had on account of payment of pension contribution on the maximum of scale by BSNL to DOT does not exist now since it has been decided that BSNL will pay pension contribution on actual basic instead on maximum of scale. This should now facilitate BSNL to consider extending standard pay scales of E2 and E3 to JTOs and SDEs, we maintained.
While Director (HR) gave assurance that a very serious discussion could be initiated on introducing CPSU cadre hierarchy, he remained firm on the decision of the management to recruit 600 Sr DGMs/Jt GMs which he asserted will not affect our career growth in any manner and is in the interest of operational needs of the Company.
From our side, we firmly maintained our ground that recruitment of Sr DGMs/Jt GMs is completely uncalled for and is a clear attempt to jeopardize our career growth and growth of the Company and should be abandoned forthwith, besides initiating serious efforts to introduce CPSU cadre hierarchy and extending standard pay scales of E2 and E3 as quickly as possible
After the meeting with DIR (HR), UF leaders discussed the future programme of action as there is no headway in the discussion with DIR(HR) except the promise to have further discussions. GSs of SNEA (I) & AIBSNLEA, President/AIGETOA and other CHQ office bearers of the Assns participated in the discussion. UF further decided to intensify the agitational programmes and decided to launch
a) “INDEFINITE WORK ACCORDING TO RULE & NON COOPERATION” W.E.FROM 15TH FEB: ‘12.
b) THREE DAYS MASS DHARNA ON 15TH, 16TH & 17TH Feb:’12.
For the preparation, GSs of all the three Assns will be addressing the combined General Body meetings at Hyderabad, Chennai, Bangalore, Pune/Mumbai on 27th, 28th and 30th January and 03rd Feb: 2012.

CHQ NEWS:
UF of BSNL
Executive Association comprising (SNEA(I)), AIBSNLEA and AIGETOA)
met today and reviewed the preparations for the Trade Union
programmes on 16th and 20th of this month and
decided tentatively future course of action.
UF is of the firm opinion that the diabolical move to recruit 600 Sr DGMs/Jt GMs just to rehabilitate ITS and jeopardize the career growth of absorbed executives has to be comprehensively defeated through protracted and sustained organizational actions in the days to come. Besides, the move to recruit 450 GMs from outside in addition to the existing absorbed ITS is totally unwarranted and the size must be pruned down considerably to make recruitment at such senior levels compatible with industry standards, not to merely placate ITS.
UF unanimously decided to intensify the struggle by going on “INDEFINITE WORK ACCORDING TO RULE” & “TOTAL NON COOPERTION” in not too distant a future if the issues are not resolved by that time. Exact dates will be decided next week. CSs, CHQ/Circle office bearers, SSA/Branch secretaries and other activists are requested to make extensive preparations at the grass root levels for complete success of the organizational programmes by conducting general massive body meetings and other mobilization activities.
GSs
of all the three Associations will be touring important strategic
centres like Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune,
Chandigarh etc. very shortly to mobilize opinion and explain in
detail the significance and criticality of the issues involved.
In the meantime, our activists, base level members and office bearers at all the levels must make hectic organizational preparations and leave no stone unturned to make the programs on 16th and 20th Jan 2012 a spectacular success to send crisp and loud message to the management that anyone who tries to kill our career will not be spared by us under any circumstances. Let us get resolutely ready to translate this into a reality since our cause is just and struggle legitimate.

COMPARATIVE STUDY OF BSNL SPECIAL LATERAL RECT RULES - 2011 WITH BSNL MS RR-2009 AND THE GENUINE DEMANDS OF EXECUTIVES:
Rect to DGM ( promotional post of Executives ) as Sr DGM & Jt GM in E6 and E7 Scales:
As per BSNLMS RR, 50% of DGM posts are to be filled by seniority and remaining 50% through MTs. Practically 100% of DGM posts are to be filled by promotion from internal candidates only. But now Managenment is filling the 600 DGM posts from outside when thousands of eligible candidates are available within BSNL having the same education qualification and experience as prescribed in the new RR.
ITS Officers with 9 years of service are recruited in E6 scale instead of E5 scale, Officers in E5 scale are recruited in E7 scale and Officers in E7 scale are recruited in E9 scale.
BSNL gone ahead even to protect their pay. Requirement worked out by BSNL itself was of around 450 officers but now recruiting 1050 officers, more than double of the actual requirement. BSNL is spending crores of rupees on this account. Practically all are recruited in an upgraded pay scale.
The genuine demand of about 52,000 executives to place them in standard E2, E3, E4 ---, E7 pay scales which is having nominal financial implications is not settled by the Mgt. As a result, the cadres like JTO/JAO and SDE/AO facing demotion.
50% External quota for rect to MT but no Extl quota for Lateral rect to DGM/GM/CGM.
If no Extl quota is reserved for Lateral rect to DGM/GM/CGM, then is there any justification for 50% Extl rect to MT posts as thousands of qualified Executives with sufficient experience are working in BSNL.
Education qualification and age for MT rect and Lateral rect to DGM / GM / CGM.
Educational qualification for Lateral recruitment to DGM / GM / PGM is retained as Degree in Engineering which is the basic qualification for entry level of Group A. No higher qualification like MTech or MBA is insisted for Direct rect to DGM/GM/CGM. The upper age limit for GM/CGM is fixed as 58 and for DGM, it is 50.
In the case of MTs, higher qualification than the entry level is insisting with an upper age limit of 36.
It is important to note that MTNL, the other PSU of DoT, the entry qualification for MT is retained as BSc with 60% marks or degree in Engineering with upper age limit of 55 for the first examination, 50 for the second and 40 for the subsequent examinations.
In contradiction to BSNL MS R/R, officers are recruited in E6 and E7 scale which are non functional grades with designations of Sr DGM and Jt GM.
In the case of Executives, BSNL Mgt is not implementing the change of designation along with change of scale, agreed by the Management long back.
WARM GREETINGS ON NEW YEAR: SNEA (I), Pune wishes all its members, office bearers, well wishers, senior officers, BSNL customers and their family members…….
A VERY HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR…
RECRUITMENT IN THE GRADE OF GM/SR.DGM: Special Lateral Direct Recruitment Rules-2011 of BSNL Management Services for Recruitment for Sr. Deputy General Manager (Sr. DGM) and GM/PGM/CGM (Telecom Operations) in E6 and E9 IDA Scale. View RR Copy

CHQ NEWS:
BSNL Board has approved the new Recruitment Rules as a one time measure to recruit around 450 SAG/HAG officers in the E9 grade and 600 JAG/NFSG officers in the E6, E7 grade. We are carefully examining the provisions of RRs and its effect on our carrier aspects.
Comrades are requested to maintain extra-ordinary level of preparedness. We have some definite indication that BSNL Management may be diluting the provisions of BSNLMS RRs to our serious disadvantage by utilising the sanctioned posts of DGMs to accommodate ITS as Jt GMs and Addl GMs which are non functional grades in the BSNLMS RR through the provisions of RRs presently being drafted.
We have already cautioned our comrades in this regard. Any kind of attempt by the management to divert the sanctioned posts of DGMs and utilise them for any other purpose has to be completely defeated.
In view of this likely development we call upon the comrades throughout the country to remain in a state of complete organisational preparedness to respond to any such eventuality at a short notice.
CHQ NEWS:
ASSOCIATION WAS CALLED FOR A DISCUSSION BY CMD ON 22.12.2011.
GS along with both AGSs met CMD and CMD while conveying congratulations to the Association for its stand in forcing DoT to decisively act against private operators for 3G policy violation by asking them to forthwith stop providing 3G services in licence areas where they are not having 3G spectrum, also sought the support and cooperation of the Association to see how BSNL is exempted from making huge payment for 2G spectrum in excess of 6.2 MHz that it holds in many circles. BSNL’s revenues will be adversely impacted by the directions of DoT to all service providers to make extra payment for the 2G spectrum they hold beyond 6.2 mhz.
Association assured that it will try its level best and mobilise all resources to ensure that BSNL gets exempted from this policy decision of DoT.
CMD then switched over to a discussion on filling up post of DGMs through seniority quota as well as through Management Trainee (MT) Recruitment. CMD expressed his keenness for the first time since his joining to take expeditious action to resolve the stalemate that prevents filling up of DGM posts through seniority and holding of competitive exam for the recritment of MT.
From our side we reiterated if BSNL Management is serious and honest to fill up DGM post, it is not a difficult proposition. We requested CMD to prevail upon concerned officers in DoT to clear the stalemate they have created by giving unwarranted and confusing directions to BSNL. CMD assured that he will take very quick action and try to prevail upon officers in DoT including Secretary DoT to allow BSNL to fill up the posts of DGM.
On the issue of holding of examination for recruitment of MTs, Association reiterated its stand to fill up all the posts of MTs from within the organisation through competitive exam without any restriction of age and qualification since abundant talent from within the organisation is available. CMD assured to examine this aspect also as quickly as possible.
COMRADES ARE REQUESTED TO MAINTAIN EXTRA ORDINARY LEVEL OF PREPAREDNESS. We have some definite indication that BSNL Management may be diluting the provisions of BSNLMS RRs to our serious disadvantage by utilising the sanctioned posts of DGMs to accommodate ITS as Jt GMs and Addl GMs which are non functional grades in the BSNLMS RR through the provisions of RRs presently being drafted.
We have already cautioned our comrades in this regard. Any kind of attempt by the management to divert the sanctioned posts of DGMs and utilise them for any other purpose has to be completely defeated.
In view of this likely development we call upon the comrades throughout the country to remain in a state of complete organisational preparedness to respond to any such eventuality at a short notice.
· It is reliably learnt that the BSNL Board has approved E1+5 increments for JTOs who have joined after 01.01.2007.
· Management has approved to conduct LDCE from JTO to SDE(T). Very shortly the LDCE will be notified for the same vacancy years and for the same number of vacancies. Most likely the LDCE will be conducted in the month of March'12

100% PARTICIPATION IN TODAY’S STRIKE: The one day token strike called by the JAC was 100% successful in Pune SSA. All the members gathered at the gates of their respective offices and staged demonstration program in the morning hours. The reports were received from Satara road office, T E bldg Bajirao road, MHS, MKR, Model colony, Chinchwad, Bhosari and all the major offices from urban and rural. Our comrade at Baramati has also staged the demonstration program and had a complete bandh during the day in Baramati, was reported. The JAC leaders visited major building in the morning sessions and addressed the huge gatherings. After the lunch hour all the members gathered at the PGMT office , satara road, where the huge demonstration program was held. The leaders of the JAC addressed the mass gathering, which lasted about 2 hours. The strike program was concluded at 6pm.
WE THANK ALL THE JAC LEADERS AND MEMBERS FOR THE MASS PARTICIPATION AND MAKING THIS PROGRAMME 100% SUCCESSFUL.
C H Q N E W S :
Congratulations to one and all for making the one day strike call by JAC 100% successful.
In BSNL CO, initially the participation was dull and later on almost all the comrades joined the strike. It may be a history at BSNLCO. All the GSs sat on Dharna infront of CMD’s cabin for the first time in the history of BSNL in protest against the lethargic attitude of CMD & BSNL Management in resolving the issues and defusing the situation. CMD and DIR(HR) personally come out of the cabin and requested for discussion in the Board room. JAC leaders protested against the attitude of the CMD & BSNL Mgt in handling the issues when 2.75 lakh employees are on street. PGM(SR), GM (Estt) and GM(Admn) also present. JAC had detailed discussion on the following issues: conclusion of ITS absorption issue, policy related issues like compensation for rural services, refund of BWA spectrum charges, 3G Roaming, reimbursement of licence fee, spectrum charges, restoration of ADC, procurement of equipment, refund of notional loan with interest, other cadre issues like VRS, merger of 78.2% IDA etc.
CMD explained that VRS issue is depending on Govt decision. On ITS absorption issue, CMD explained that at present it is not possible to repatriate ITS officers but within 2-3 months period the issue will be resolved and BSNL will have its own management and no deputationist will remain in BSNL. We strongly opposed the back door entry to ITS officers by framing RRs by giving seniority and pay protection for a section of people which may invite litigations. We pleaded that first BSNL absorbed Group-'A' officers should be promoted by holding DPCs against vacant HAG/SAG/JAG level posts and thereafter only as per the requirement senior level executives can be recruited from open market. On this issue CMD mentioned that he has already directed his team to start the process but no development is visible in this direction. Regarding procurement of GSM equipment & stores; CMD mentioned that sincere efforts are being made in this regard. On policy related issues, CMD explained that all these issues have been taken up with DoT for consideration.
Due to the financial crisis the issues like PLI, LTC, Medical etc can’t be restored immediately and as and when cash flow improves, the issues can be considered. JAC strongly pleaded for the implementation of the merger of 78.2% IDA with basic as it affects the pay and pension also. CMD assured that the issue will be positively considered by the Management committee and Board once again as the proposal was earlier rejected by the Board.
SNEA(I) felt that to save BSNL and to protect the employees, sustained struggle is needed and shortly JAC after analyzing the situation will further decide future course of actions. SNEA(I) express its sincere thanks to all the members, Circle/Branch Secretaries for their active participation & making the one day strike on 15th Dec'2011, a historical one.

ALL THE MEMBERS ARE HEREBY APPEALED TO PARTICIPATE ENMASS IN THIS HISTORIC STRUGGLE FOR SECURING OUR PRESENT AND FUTURE AND MAKE THE AGITATION PROGRAMME 100% SUCCESSFUL.
C H Q N E W S :
Struggle is the only way to protect our jobs and beloved Company.
That is what our history of consistent struggle under the banner of
JAC clearly brings out.
Let us quickly recapitulate how continuous struggle has protected
our beloved Company from being sold and in the process securing our
jobs so far.
v
Persistent efforts to sell the equity of the Company have been
defeated.
When the Company was at its peak of glory in terms of annual profits
crossing 10,000 crores, determined efforts of the government in
collusion with vested interests from industry to acquire huge equity
of the Company as its strategic partner have been defeated lock,
stock and barrel. As a consequence today, we have great pride that
Company’s equity was not allowed to be diluted through struggle and
that government has 100% holding in the Company.
v
Precious
resource of the Company “Copper”
which almost every minister starting from Late Sh. Pramod Mahajan
tried desperately to sell to private Companies stands protected
through struggle alone. Present MOC&IT has already made up his mind
to kill us by incorporating dubious and well clad provisions in
“NTP 11” to allow sale of copper which is our most invaluable
resource that we cannot spare.
v
How we could succeed to procure 22 m GSM equipment in 2007
when then MOC&IT suddenly decided to scrap entire order for
procurement of 45.5 m GSM lines. Had we struggled a little bit more,
entire size of the tender to procure 45.5 m GSM lines could have
saved easily.
v
How we forced the Union Cabinet to take a very positive decision on
revision of our IDA pension
consequent upon implementation of 2nd PRC for executives
and wage revision for non executives.
v
How are we nearing success in forcing the government to refund
obsolete BWA spectrum charges
valued approximately at Rs 7000 crores in respect of Circles where
we have not rolled out Wimax operations? Any let up on our part will
be suicidal since the government is not easily going to part away
with such huge money.
v
How we have succeeded in settling the issue of payment of pension
contribution
by BSNL to DOT on actual basic instead of maximum of IDA Scale thus
saving annually about Rs 500 crores.
v
How we have forced the government to pay us Rs 6000 crores USO fund
for three years from 2008 to 11 when the government decided to stop
payment of any subsidy from USO fund to us. Today the government is
yet again considering continuing annual USO subsidy of Rs 2000
crores.
v
How issue of ITS absorption
has got a real head start because of our sustained pressure and to
take this issue to its logical conclusion continuance of sustained
effort is absolutely necessary.
v
How tenders for procurement
of 14.37 m GSM, Cables, optical fibres cables, telephone
instruments, MLLN and BB modems etc. etc have reached conclusive
stages after our protracted struggle.
v
How are we nearing success in forcing the government
to take a definite stand and action under provisions of 3G licensing
against Bharti, Vodafone and Idea for their violation of 3G policy
which is adversely affecting only BSNL which has paid Rs 10000
crores Pan India 3G spectrum charges, 40-50% more than these
operators. If we remain firm, there is strong possibility for us to
be treated at par with these operators and get refund of about Rs
4000 to 5000 crores 3G spectrum charges.

CHQ NEWS:
Finally cat comes out of the bag
Sinister game plan of ITS controlled BSNL management is unmasked.
The said proposal of the BSNL Management suggests the following,
1. ITS officers on technical resignation get full govt. pension & all other retirement benefits.
2. Get full salary in the form of pay protection on their so called fabricated diabolical recruitment in BSNL including for the service rendered in DOT.
3. Maintain their UPSC seniority even after resignation from DOT and fresh recruitment in BSNL.
The operative operation of the letter no. 400-146 / 2011-Pers-I(Pt.) dated 24/11/11written by DIR(HR) to Joint Secretary (T) states.“It is proposed that on completion of selection / recruitment process initiated by BSNL, Seniority of ITS officers joining on immediate absorption basis may be decided as per the common seniority list(Unabsorbed ITS officers viz absorbed officers) prevailing on the date of appointment.”
History is yet again created: Our young and highly qualified and talented Comrades of AIGETOA recruited in BSNL who are the worst sufferers and victims of unprecedented discrimination and prejudice of ITS controlled BSNL management have decided on our humble request to join the ongoing struggle to oppose tooth and nail sinister arrangement being worked out by BSNL management to recruit MTs, DGMs, GMs and CGMs from outside and in the process completely kill meagre virtually non -existent career growth of principal stake holders of the Company. We have all pledged not to look back at all till decades old exploitation and deprivation we have faced at the hands of ITS is defeated. View copy of the letter

CHQ NEWS:
What a contrast in approaches between the managements of private operators and BSNL- private service provider’s managements committed to the core to protect interests of their Companies whereas BSNL management guided by extraneous considerations.
Bharti Airtel, Vodafone and Idea lost no time in threatening Hon’ble Prime Minister that in case they are not permitted to continue with blatant breach of policy by selling 3G services without 3G spectrum, they should be refunded 3G spectrum charges. This is sheer blackmail by these operators knowing fully well that the government is faced with a huge fiscal deficit and is making all out efforts to bridge the deficit. What private operators are indulging in is not roaming which policy permits but sale of services by sharing spectrum which is forbidden by policy.
However, that is not the issue. Pertinent issue is - compare this spontaneous blackmailing of government by private operators to protect interest of their Companies to the approach of BSNL management. It took BSNL management about a year to decide to surrender obsolete BWA spectrum that it was allocated and seek refund of BWA spectrum charges amounting to Rs 8313/-crores.
Director(CM)/BSNL committed an unpardonable lapse and serious error of judgment (whether advertently or inadvertently is a big question) by accepting completely redundant BWA spectrum band and shelving out Rs 8313/- crores of public money. After such a huge lapse which should have sent him home had he acted in such an irresponsible manner in private enterprise, Director (CM) remained intransigent and defiant in summarily rejecting rational advice from almost every quarter to surrender obsolete BWA spectrum band and seek refund of BWA spectrum charges.
Director (CM) remained completely hostile and brushed aside every suggestion including from within the organization to surrender the said spectrum band. He remained unmoved for more than eight months to act until CMD/BSNL put his foot down and assertively and aggressively asked Director (CM) to fall in line and decide to surrender obsolete spectrum and seek its refund. What is interesting and relevant is the Wimax fiasco and complete paralysis of CM segment in all areas. Procurement of GSM equipment has become a nightmare because of persistent bungling and not a single tender is getting finalized for the last three to four years because of vendor considerations. One wonders in the context of hue and cry raised by private operators to allow them to continue perpetrate policy violations in 3G segment whether such Directors would ever find a place in private enterprises.
Similarly, this association had to virtually beg BSNL management for more than fifteen days to complain to DOT that BSNL’s right to offer pan India 3G services is being blatantly encroached upon by private operators by selling 3G services in areas where they do not have 3G spectrum. Let alone approaching TDSAT to challenge this breach of policy, BSNL had to be cajoled to lodge a formal complaint to DOT.
MASSIVE DAY LONG DHARNA HELD AT PUNE: The united forum of BSNL executives at Pune successfully held a massive day long dharna between 10 am to 5.30pm today in front of the o/o PGMT, New Admin bldg, Satara road, Pune. The leader of united forum has strongly advocated the immediate repatriation of ITS officers from BSNL to DOT. A lunch hour demonstration was also held from 1.30 to 2.30 pm in which the leaders of UF addressed the huge gathering. We thank all the leaders and participants of both the associations for giving a strong and positive response by massively attending the dharna programme. Click for the photos>>>>
FULL DAY DHARNA ON 22 NOV 2011: As per the guidelines received from the central headquarters, the united forum of BSNL Executives will hold the day long dharna in front of the O/o PGMT, New Admin Bldg, Satara Road, Pune, from 10 hrs to 17.30 hrs. Also the Lunch hour demonstrations will be held from 1330 Hrs. This dharna will be held to protest against the decision of BSNL/MTNL management to stop the process of repatriation non-optee ITS officers ignoring DOT repatriation orders. All the members of united forum are hereby intimated to attend the full day program.
Earlier, today, the joint meeting of office bearers of both the associations was held in the Conference hall, Bajirao Road, Pune. The members univocally consented for the immediate repatriation of non optee ITS officers from BSNL and strongly advocated for the strong action such as indefinite strike call from CHQ, if the repatriation process is not started. Also the members stressed for the more such united actions from the united forum in future also. It was decided that the tomorrow’s dharna program will be massively arranged and stressed upon to be attended by all the executives of Pune SSA.

LUNCH HOUR DEMONSTRATIONS IN PUNE:
At Pune, we are holding the lunch hour demonstrations at the New Admin Building, Satara Road, from 1.30 Pm. All the members are hereby are requested to attend the demonstration programme to show the strength and our commitment towards the necessity of repatriation.
APPEAL TO ALL MEMBERS :
Dear comrades, please gear up and bring awareness among the members to protest illegal stand of BSNL management for partial reparation of its officers. Now everyone including ITS officers on deputation in BSNL is of the opinion that all its officers on deputation to BSNL who have not opted for BSNL should be repatriated and there are clear directions from court also. But till BSNL management and CMD BSNL are not ready for this or if ready applying delay tactics. Now it is question, how long we should allow management to play with BSNL and our bread butter. Since last 11 years management is playing gimmicks and this is one of the reasons of poor health of BSNL. Please get ready and make chq call for lunch hour demonstration on 15th November 2011 a grand success by participation of 100 percent members. This is do or die movement to make BSNL management to repatriate all officers on deputation at one stroke in committed manner. UF Zindabad. SNEA Zindabad -
Repatriation Frozen!
BSNL Management is firm to sabotage the process of repatriation by freezing the process of repatriation. Comrades, get ready for do or die fight. We have to fight till each & every deputationist is repatriated.
Make Demonstration/Dharna at Corporate/ Circle/ SSA Hqs on 15th Nov.,11 and 22nd Nov., 11 respectively spectacular success and get ready for future struggle.
What should we be precisely doing at this crucial hour?
At the very outset, we have to understand and explain to everyone that the fundamental difference in the perception and stand of BSNL management and that of ours on ITS absorption is that while BSNL management feels ITS is indispensable, which is being fully exploited to the hilt by ITS for the last six years, in the process crippling the growth of the Company, we are more than convinced that this perception is not only utterly unfounded and based on narrow considerations but against hard ground realities.
Our stand based on hard facts and realities is that nothing is more crucial and decisive for viability of BSNL than having a management having 100% stake in the Company. Our stand is not based on prejudice or any other narrow considerations in sharp contrast to stand of BSNL management which continues to draft and firm up its stand by continuing to cultivate and nurture narrow fraternal ITS considerations. Saddest and unfortunate part is that we have to remind BSNL management through our struggle about its basic responsibilities and commitment towards the Company it is heading.
If BSNL management for a moment detaches itself from the bondages of ITS and sincerely and honestly introspects and analyzes what exactly, as custodians of Company to salvage it at this critical hour, should be its stand on ITS absorption, it would unavoidably come to inescapable and hard conclusion about the imperative and dire need of Company having a management which is an inalienable part of the Company. Correct decision and stand on ITS absorption has eluded BSNL management only because it has not traveled that extra mile in having a deeper and unbiased analysis of the whole issue in its entirety.
Adversity and crisis lead to challenges and challenges once tackled formidably, conviction and short and long term well thought about strategy and plan of action lead to viable and everlasting solutions. It is really high time and an excellent opportunity for BSNL management to draw a clear dividing line between itself and ITS and sincerely get down to the arduous task of building its own management structure by working out strategy and plan of action to tackle the emerging situation which so far it has not even remotely done.
Having said that, what is however important for us is what should we be doing at this crucial hour when responsibility on our shoulders of maintaining network, providing flawless services to users and pushing growth forward doubles. We should be giving our very best at this hour, working very very hard, in a truly exemplary and committed manner, working two to three hours every day more than we normally work, staying firm and composed.
ITS absorption issue is crucial for us exclusively from point of view of viability of BSNL - it should not be seen as an opportunity by us to get our promotions. Let us understand this fact clearly and not get distracted from our main challenge of taking this issue to its logical conclusion once for all so as to address issues of revival of BSNL.
Another equally important activity that we should be getting involved in a committed way is sustained organizational actions to force the management to enforce the decision of the government to repatriate those having opted for DOT as quickly as possible. Continuous and prolonged organizational actions in the days to come are absolutely essential to force an inertia stricken and prejudiced management to act as expeditiously as possible.
It depends on how much resolute and united we stand in this hour and force the management to act in the right direction, management will never act on its own for very obvious reasons. So let us ask ourselves how long we are going to take instead of how long management is to take to resolve this issue comprehensively and conclusively.
Finally, our just struggle is in the best interests of the Company and intransigent and irrational stand of the management is to protect interests of ITS. We will undoubtedly emerge victorious and defeat game plan of management lock, stock and barrel.

Status on ITS Absorption:
GS and GS/AIBSNLEA along with its President met concerned officers in DOT dealing with the issue of absorption and requested them to be tough on the issue and not be carried away by false opinion of BSNL management that BSNL will collapse in the event of repatriation of ITS. Further, we apprised them that no CPSU has a borrowed management structure and continuance of such a mechanism in BSNL for eleven years has pulled down BSNL to present position. Cries of Crisis, crisis, crisis by BSNL management are nothing but a deliberate strategy of BSNL management to protect ITS and allow them to continue in BSNL illegitimately. Very tough and unwavering response is needed from DOT to conclude this issue which is extremely vital for viability of BSNL.
Officers dealing with absorption indicated that government is very firm and means business in real terms. Government is not going to yield to the pressure tactics of BSNL management and will ensure that in a phased manner each and everyone not opting for BSNL will be surely repatriated.
We understand that absorption process is being implemented in a phased manner and CMD has given commitments to DOT about definite time frame in which the process will be concluded.
In the meantime, to register our strongest protest against BSNL management for its insistence on completing absorption in a phased manner, we are planning to hold a massive rally at Delhi along with our MTNL Comrades on the day orders to complete absorption in a phased manner are issued. We are determined to fight it out this time till such time each and every ITS officer not opting for BSNL is repatriated to DOT.
We appeal to our Comrades throughout the Country to be fully ready to fight this war like situation. We commit to our comrades that we will not sit back till our goal of repatriation of ITS who have been continuing illegitimately in BSNL for six years is accomplished. Be ready for a do or die fight to save our beloved company.

GS WRITES TO CMD/BSNL REGARDING SUGGESTIONS FOR FRAMING OF RECRUITMENT RULES FOR DIRECT RECRUITMENT TO DGM/GM/CGM IN CASE SUFFICIENT ITS OFFICERS ARE NOT OPTING FOR BSNL.
For the maintenance of Telecom services, BSNL requires minimum 25 HAG level officers and 200 SAG officers in Telecom operations segment. Now 3,300 absorbed STS officers, 260 JAG officers, 26 SAG officers and 5 HAG officers are working in BSNL.
Suggestions:
a) Promote the absorbed Group A officers to HAG, SAG and JAG posts as per BSNLMS R/R. This process can start immediately after the last date of absorption, ie 08th Nov: 2011. Immediate action to promote the absorbed officers will definitely encourage those willing to take absorption in BSNL to opt for BSNL.
b) Direct recruitment. route may be adopted after exploring the possibility of filling up the posts by promotion as per BSNLMS R/Rs. While finalizing direct recruitment at SAG and HAG, ITS officers having exemplary track record of performance should be given overriding priority and accordingly provisions should be incorporated in the RRs.
I. Direct recruitment at HAG level: Direct recruitment at HAG could be considered after assessing the number of officers opting to get absorbed. In case sufficient number of SAG are available, appropriate mechanism for their promotion to HAG could be worked out.
II. Direct recruitment at SAG level: In case sufficient number of SAG officers is not opting for BSNL, the absorbed JAG officers may be promoted to SAG posts, remaining SAG posts should be filled by direct recruitment from open market. Eligibility criterion for selection to SAG should be finalized in a manner that gives overriding preference to both ITS having worked in BSNL, as well as working executives with engineering degree, with outstanding past performance in BSNL.
III. Direct recruitment at JAG level: There is absolutely no need of direct recruitment at JAG since huge number of STS officers with sufficient exposure in the organization is available. Shortfall in JAG in specific areas can be easily met from amongst the huge pool of available engineering graduates absorbed in BSNL from DOT and directly recruited by BSNL.
