3. 30% superannuation benefits to BSNL
recruited employees as per the agreement between the Forum of BSNL
Unions/Associations and the BSNL Mgt on 12.06.2012.
4. Dismantling BSNL by constituting
subsidiary tower Company:
5. Abject and unpardonable failure of BSNL
Management in not responding to deadly emerging challenges that growth of
Company faces, particularly its potential broadband business segment, from its
competitors, particularly Reliance- Jio venture.
6. Pension contribution by BSNL on actual
basic pay instead of on maximum
7. Discriminating BSNL in the context of not
allowing it to trade and share spectrum
8. Promotion from JTO(T) to SDE(T) under 67%
quota for the vacancy years 2009-10 onwards, JAO to AO promotions, holding of LDCE

than Junior after promotions.
10. Increase
the number of Management Trainees (Intl) from the proposed 150 to a minimum of
300 and take expeditious action to complete the recruitment process.
The meeting lasted for more than two
hours. During the meeting, Assn made the stand clear on all the issues to the
Mgt side. Mgt side explained their stand on the issues as usual. The issues raised in the letter dated 25.02.2014 related to Govt will be referred to DoT for
further actions. On the query why management is not implementing E2, E3, E4 etc
pay scales when the financial implication is minimum and no financial
implications for the Executives working as on 31.12.2006, Mgt had no convincing answer.
Comrades,
Management is in no mood to implement the standard pay scales or settling the
other issues in a time bound manner. Gear up for the full day Dharna on 06.03.2014 and relay hunger strike on 19th March
onwards.
5 Mar 14: Updates on confirmation in JTO Cadre: The over delayed
file for confirmation of about 300 JTOs in Maharashtra Circle has been cleared
within a day by CGMT MH Circle and now the confirmation orders are expected
within a day or two.
5 Mar 14: AGM Staff
Mumbai clarifies that VRS of the officers under transfer to tenure stations are
not to be entertained by non tenure SSA Heads without approval of competent
authority and same are to be entertained by tenure
SSA Heads after implementation of transfers.
It is important here that AGM Staff
Mumbai has cleverly forgotten that his own office has started such wrong
practices by dealing with such delayed VRS applications and best & classic
example of such a wrong tradition is official drama of VRS application by of
Com. S.R.Hole DE Pune and
it’s out of rules entertainment by Circle office. When VRS of Com. Hole is
being entertained by violating said guidelines quoted in this letter, then AGM
Staff Mumbai & his office has no morale right to issue such stringent
guidelines in biased manner. Also, such stringent steps will give nothing as
positive outcome but it will direct wastage of lakhs
of rupees of BSNL on transfer grants & TA/DA of officers seeking VRS under
compulsions. The best option to deal with such VRS is to accept such VRS at
working SSA and not to entertain it’s withdrawal of VRS at any condition except
in case officer joins tenure stations. SNEA (I) MH will take up this issue with
Circle Management for amicable solution to safeguard interest of officers
seeking VRS on such compulsory transfers and at the same time to save lakhs of rupees of BSNL on avoidable and unwanted expenditures.

Issues specifically relating to BSNL.
A.
Extending of standard IDA pay scales of E2, E3 etc for
executives in BSNL: Jt Secy was
categorical in mentioning that DPE would not digress from its stand that CPSUs
should have in place only standard IDA pay scales approved by the government on
the basis of recommendations of 2nd PRC.
B.
Antedating of increment: Joint Secretary / DPE informed that in
order to overcome the anomaly on this account, many CPSUs have switched over to
increment date of July uniformly for everyone as has been done in case of
Central government employees by shifting their date of increment to January.
However, GS informed Joint Secretary / DPE that in the absence of any
guidelines from DPE, BSNL management is not prepared to act accordingly. Joint
Secretary / DPE asked GS to submit a representation on this issue and assured
of very positive action to address this anomaly in BSNL as quickly as possible.

on following critical issues concerning employees of CPSUs.
A. Constitution of
3rd PRC with appropriate terms of reference: We urged upon
Secretary / DPE to initiate action towards constitution of 3rd PRC for officers
of CPSUs on the lines of 7th CPC constituted by government for Central govt.
employees. Secretary / DPE mentioned normally such decisions in principle are
to be taken by the Cabinet and that any such initiative shall have to be taken
only after new government takes over. However, she assured that in the meantime
DPE would make adequate ground preparation on this issue.
B. Merger of 50% IDA
with basic: Secretary / DPE fully assured that DPE would initiate
appropriate action on this issue very quickly so that at the very start of the
new government the issue is placed for consideration and approval of the
government.
C. Review of existing criterion for Performance
Related Pay: We apprised secy/DPE that
existing criterion for PRP is flawed and needs review. Secy/DPE
mentioned that she would examine the entire issue and find out what best can be
done to address our concern

MH has taken serious view on non reliving of JTOs
& SDEs under transfer to tenure stations and
ordered to relive all the officers latest by 15/02/2014 and further warns that
in case of non implementation of these orders, the payment of these officers
will be stopped by Circle Office through ERP. Letter <<<>>>
Let us hope big shot SSA Heads like PGMT
Pune gives some respect to CGMT MH Circle and help in
uniform implementation of transfer orders in Maharashtra
Circle and mainly helps in reliving of no. of executives held up at tenure
stations for years even after completion of tenure period just for want of
substitute. It is fact that
office of PGMT Pune has always taken “Pick &
Choose Policy” in reliving officers and some officers who maintains unofficial
“Good Book” of PGMT Pune healthy, are always given out
of turn opportunity to be at Pune. It is shameful that in biased approach
PGMT Pune has even relived officers whose transfer
orders are issued recently to odd locations from Pune
like Gadchiroli without any mercy & is still
shielding officers like Shri. S.R. Hole, DE who is
given choice posting at Circle Office Mumbai by cancelling his long stay
transfer order issued before three years in SDE cadre for tenure station/s by
playing different official/unofficial dramas & even low level politics like
submitting VRS and not implementing it for months together. Hope, CGMT MH takes this matter in real
serious sense and show courage to maintain dignity of his own office which is
being continuously downgraded by PGMT Pune.
Implementation of pending transfer orders
will gave a way for consideration of
long pending request transfers of executives from non tenure stations who are
waiting for last one year as Circle office has not considered a single request
from non tenure station including request on grounds of completion of 58 years
age or even request on spouse working grounds. In a series of discussions with
management, we stressed on implementation of long pending transfer orders, but
no proactive response received from management.

Further course of Trade
Union action will be intimated in due course.
Comrades,
last few years, Association is struggling to resolve the long pending HR issues
trough deliberations. Considering the stiff competition in the telecom field,
as a responsible Association, we have resorted to great restraint, strictly
following the path of negotiations, fully focusing on the growth and financial
viability of the company. The Management appears to have exploited our concern
for the prospects of the Company, in turn, closing its eyes on the genuine
issues pending for a very long time. The lethargic attitude of the BSNL
Management in looking at the serious issues, not to speak of resolving them,
has left the Association with no other alternative but to serve notice for
Trade Union actions demanding the immediate resolution of the issues. As per our Patna CWC decisions, we tried our level best to have a
united struggle in the banner of United Forum but could not succeed. The proposed move to demote the basic cadres
JTO/JAO to E1 scale and other major pending issues forced the Association to
serve the notice.

JKD and NE II Circles. The result is almost ready for HR and KTK Circles. In TN
Circle, argument is in final stage. In KRL, so many court cases challenging the
RR is filed, so it has to be defended properly before publishing the results as
in the case of Punjab, GM informed.
6 Feb 14:
Meeting
with GM (Pers):
GS and both AGSs met Sri S S Aggarwal, GM (Pers) on 04.02.2014
and discussed the following issues.
a. Promotions
from JTO to SDE (T): BSNL filed the
reply at Hon CAT, Ernakulam. As the division bench is
not sitting on day to day basis, the case is listed for 02.03.2014. We
requested to take appropriate action to hear the case on urgent basis. Assn
already filed an urgent petition for early hearing of the case through a senior
lawyer. On the missing ACR/Assessment case, GM (P) assured to write to CGMs for
early submission of pending ACRs/Assessment report.
b. Calling VC for
SDE to DE promotion for the 25% DE additional posts added by amendment of RRs:
GM (Pers) assured to take immediate steps to call the
VCs for the vacant posts including the retirement posts.
c.
Settling
the pay anomalies by way of protecting the increments during officiating
promotion: In continuation to our
discussion with DIR (HR/EB) on the matter, Assn requested for early settlement
of the issue as Executives retiring on superannuation facing huge recovery of
pay and their pension is reduced by one or two increments.
d. Provision to
come back to the parent SSA after 3 years from a soft tenure station: Assn
pointed out that the transfer policy dealing with soft tenure station is
ambiguous as the officials are not assured to come back to the parent SSAs on
completion of 3 years. The officials are reluctant to move to soft tenure
stations and the very purpose of declaring soft tenure stations are defeated.
GM (P) agreed to review the provision.
e. Request
transfers in the cadre of SDE and DE: After discussion, GM assured to consider
the cases by mid- March.
