13.07.2018:  AN OPEN LETTER BY THE MEMBERS OF AIBSNLEA

(To whom it may concern)

Subject:      Ethics, Decency and Norms in Trade Unionism.

Comrade,

We have noted with grave concern the write up appearing in your website abusing our GS AIBSNLEA Prahlad Rai. We can understand the your frustration  because of the non implementation of CPSU CH on 1^st July for which you have claimed your victory leaps and bounds in advance on one hand and implementation of CPCs of various cadres promoting 12000 executives as per demand of AIBSNLEA on the other. Although, AIBSNLEA is never against CPSU CH but is logically demanding filling up of all vacant posts before implementation of CPSU CH which management has accepted and is in process of implementation. This is indigestible to you and every 2^nd day you are threatening for agitation which never taking place. When management is working on war-footing for promoting executives, you are threatening agitation. From this itself, one can understand your level of frustration.

Now you are personally after Prahlad Rai GS AIBSNLEA. You have unnecessary raised the issue of retirement date of Prahlad Rai being fully aware of the constitutional provisions of AIBSNLEA. As at present four CHQ office bearers are retired but all are holding their posts till the pendency of present body as per the Constitution of AIBSNLEA. BSNL management is aware of it. But you have singled out only Prahlad Rai and raised objection on his functioning as GS. If any violation of REA rules took place, BSNL management is there to look after, is it ethical on your part to raise such issues with the management just to settle your personal score. You have even threatened to boycott the meetings which will be attended by Prahlad Rai as GS AIBSNLEA because he is retired, forgetting the fact that you have accompanied a retired person as your President in several meetings for one and half years and still you are accompanying him as Chairman. You are even ready to compromise with the unity of unions and associations if they support or speak in favour of Prahlad Rai for the sake of satisfying your ego.

Actually you are afraid of the wonderful performance of Prahlad Rai and his team which stands in the way of your desire to establish your one-upmanship image in BSNL. You are thinking that in the absence of Prahlad Rai you can easily establish your desired image. But we are sorry comrade, he will continue to lead AIBSNLEA for some more time and will be replaced by another even more powerful Prahlad Rai in due course. You have totally forgotten that in trade union individual is not important but the policy and vision of the organisation is. If you don't change your attitude, your organisation is also going to suffer. Come to the senses comrade.

Good Bye.

13.07.2018:  Meeting with GM (Pers.), BSNL Corporate Office:

GM (Pers.) called AIBSNLEA for a meeting to discus regarding the promotions of executives. GS, President, AGS (HQ) and AGS (DR) attended the meeting. Jt. GM (Pers) was also present in the meeting.

We extended our sincere gratitude and thanks to the Management for issuing promotion orders of 12,000 executives within a months time which has been appreciated by all the executives. And, AIBSNLEA wants continuance of the process of promotions of the executives through CPCs before implementation of the CPSU Cadre Hierarchy. GM (Pers) appreciated our concern and mentioned that Management still wants to continue the promotions through CPCs but unanimity in this respect should come from all the corners. He asked the opinion of AIBSNLEA regarding equalization of promotion avenues in all the disciplines. We explained that equalization in promotions in all the cadres should be ensured as far as possible.

We demanded that all the eligible JTOs should be promoted to SDE (T) by filling-up of the vacant SDEs posts and either through up-gradation or by diversion of LDCE quota posts to SCF quota.

SDE to DE promotions should be issued to reduce stagnation in the cadre of SDE (T) by promoting all the eligible SDEs. GM (Pers) mentioned that even to promote Seniority List No. 8 SDEs about 3500 post up-gradation would be required which will increase the strength of the DE to about 10500 wherein deployment plan is to be prepared. We mentioned that after implementation of CPSU Cadre Hierarchy DE strength will be about 15000 in the year of 2022 and about 22000 in the year 2028. Thus promoting 10000 – 12000 should not be a problem through CPCs.

Regarding AO to CAO promotions, we requested to promote all the eligible AOs to the post of CAO by up-gradation of posts. GM (Pers) assured to discuss the matter with Director (HR).

For promotions in Civil/Electrical/Arch/TF/PA/PS/CSS cadres, GM (Pers) mentioned that regarding up-grading the posts of EE and equivalent cadres, proposal have been received in Pers. Cell and after discussion with Director (HR) a decision will be taken in this regard.

Regarding DE to DGM promotions GM (Pers) mentioned that an MA has been filed in the Hon’ble CAT Chandigarh on the basis of recent Hon’ble Court judgment and DOPT instructions. After vacation of the stay, CPC proceedings will be expedited to fill-up about 700 – 900 DGM posts.

Finally, GM (Pers) mentioned that AIBSNLEA concern on promotions will be apprised to the competent authority for further directions.   

13.07.2018:  Status of Court cases in the Hon’ble PB CAT New Delhi regarding 147 LDCE Quota SDEs seniority:

The matter in respect of K.B. Upasani & Ors Vs. M/o Personnel Public Grievance & Pension and Sanjay Kumar Aggarwal & Ors. Vs.

10.07.2018:  Demonstration by AUAB on 11-07-2018 at Circles and SSAs Head Quarters

At BSNL Corporate Office demonstration will be held on 12-07-2018.

10.07.2018:  Statement of Facts of Director (HR) meeting held on 09.07.2018:

Director (HR) BSNL Board convened a meeting of the General Secretaries of BSNLEU, NFTE, AIBSNLEA and SNEA. But GS/BSNLEU, GS/AIBSNLEA and GS/SNEA could attend the meeting with Director (HR) since GS/NFTE was out of station for attending his Union meetings at Mehboob Nagar. GM (Pers.), GM (SR) and OSD to Director (HR) were present in the meeting.

The very purpose of conducting the meeting of four General Secretaries of the recognised Unions/Associations was to discuss the dispute going on among the two major executive Associations which is damaging the environment of BSNL.

Director (HR) in the beginning of the meeting mentioned that the Management is trying to do its best for the betterment of all non-executives and executives. Thus every body should work together in unity for the betterment of BSNL and its employees.

Comrade GS/BSNLEU initiated the discussions and told Madam the main reasons of SNEA to write a letter against GS/AIBSNLEA is that at the instance of GS/AIBSNLEA, Mr. Khan CHQ President of SNEA has been reverted and transferred from BSNL Corporate Office to UP (W) Circle.

In response to this, Director (HR) replied that both the allegations against GS/AIBSNLEA are not correct and Management has not taken any action at the instance of GS/AIBSNLEA. The first point, reversal of Mr. Khan is the outcome of the Hon’ble Supreme Court judgment regarding the 147 LDCE Quota SDEs seniority case. In this respect, GS/SNEA reacted and mentioned that SNEA is not against the reversion but is against the eligibility decided by the BSNL Corporate Office in respect to these 147 LDCE Quota SDEs with reference to SDE RR provisions. Director (HR) immediately replied that BSNL Corporate Office has issued 147 LDCE Quota SDEs reversion orders in accordance to the Hon’ble Supreme Court judgment as understood. However, various court cases have been filed in different Hon’ble CATs & now based on that Management may review its decision, if required.

On the second point, Director (HR) mentioned that Mr. Khan, SDE has been transferred by the decision of Director (HR) and I am competent enough to transfer my executives. GS/SNEA reacted that the transfer of Mr. Khan is not on the basis of a policy. Then Director (HR) clarified that Management has decided not to keep all the Union/Association Office Bearers in BSNL Corporate Office. It was understood that Mr. Khan is having a house in Noida. In view of that it will be convenient for him to be posted at Noida. However, in case Mr. Khan has a difficulty in going to UP (West) then his order may be modified to Delhi today itself and accordingly, she directed GM (Pers) to put-up the case for issuance of the modified transfer orders of Mr. Khan.

Thereafter, Director (HR) discussed the objections raised by GS/SNEA regarding continuance of Shri Prahlad Rai as GS/AIBSNLEA even after his retirement. GS/SNEA reiterated his stand and told that my Association’s stand is very clear that Mr. Prahlad Rai should not be allowed as GS/AIBSNLEA as per the BSNL (REA) Rules-2014. In this respect GS/AIBSNLEA replied that as per the decision of CWC Trivandrum and further decision taken in the CHQ Office Bearers & Circle Secretaries meet held at New Delhi, Shri Prahlad Rai will continue as GS along with other retired CHQ Office Bearers till next AIC which has already been requested to the BSNL Management. In the next CWC meeting of AIBSNLEA being held at Dehradun on 18^th and 19^th August 2018, the venue and time for the next AIC will be decided.

Comrade GS AIBSNLEA further mentioned that Comrade GS/SNEA has forgotten that in his last tenure, his CHQ President Comrade G.L. Jogi who retired on 30.06.2013 continued as CHQ President SNEA till next AIC of SNEA held in September 2015 at Jaipur about one and half years after his retirement that was also in violation of Executive Association SNEA recognition Rules 2004 i.e. only serving executive can become the Office Bearer of an Executive Association. But AIBSNLEA never raised any objection against Comrade Jogi’s continuance after his retirement in writing or verbal. In this regard, GS/SNEA mentioned that Mr Jogi continued as CHQ President for one and half year but he did not make any communications. Then GS/AIBSNLEA clarified that normally President is not making any communications.

In this regard, GS/BSNLEU mentioned that such things are happening even in non-executive Unions also for example 2^nd recognised Union, NFTE could hold its AIC after one year but such point was never raised by BSNLEU or any other Union. Then GS/SNEA reacted with anger to GS/BSNLEU that why they are interfering in this matter. If they do like this, SNEA may break its relations with AUAB. GS/BSNLEU replied that he is sitting here in the meeting on the invitation given by Director (HR) to resolve the dispute amicably and he further  mentioned that this is not the time to fight rather it is the time to safeguard the BSNL and its employees. Important issues like 3^rd PRC, Pension Revision, Payment of Pension Contribution on actual and BSNL Tower Subsidiary are the important issues needs settlement through unity. The reply of GS/BSNLEU was appreciated and accepted by Director (HR). She further requested to keep harmony.

GS/SNEA immediately reacted and told that GS/AIBSNLEA for the last 15-20 days is updating on his CHQ website regarding promotions which is adversely affecting SNEA. He categorically told that Management should have implemented CPSU Cadre Hierarchy from 01.07.2018 it self to bring parity amongst the executives instead of conducting CPCs and promotion orders. Issuances of 12,000 promotion orders of executives have created disparity amongst the executives. GS/SNEA mentioned that GS/AIBSNLEA has written a letter against GS/SNEA not to allow him as GS/SNEA since he has been served with Charge Sheet in violation of BSNL (REA) Rules 2014.

In this regard, GS/AIBSNLEA clarified that he has not written any letter in response to GM (SR) letter which was addressed to CHQ President/AIBSNLEA. CHQ President in his reply has mentioned reference about GS/SNEA for violation of BSNL (REA) Rules -2014 and served as Major Penalty Charge Sheet even after he has been allowed to work as GS/SNEA. Also SNEA on their website spread hatred amongst the executives targeting particular cadres and community to create cadre war.  

Director (HR) mentioned that Management is ready to bring parity in all the cadres by promoting executives even by up-gradation of posts. 12,000 promotions of executives has been appreciated by each and every one and Management wants to continue this process to bring parity but it is unfortunate that now Management is being termed as VINDICTIVE since they have promoted 12,000 executives.

Director (HR) further mentioned that CPSU Cadre Hierarchy has been got approved by BSNL Management only from the BSNL Board despite of the many reservations. Some shortcomings of CPSU Cadre Hierarchy w.r.t SC/ST Roster are being examined and shortly some modifications will be made and the CPSU Cadre Hierarchy will be implemented since it is the baby of BSNL Management. Management wants to avoid litigations in CPSU Cadre Hierarchy. Director (HR) categorically told that parity in the promotions will be considered in all the cadres as far as possible before implementation of CPSU Cadre Hierarchy. One side Associations are distributing sweets, felicitating the Management for issuing promotion orders and other side is telling vindictive to the Management. It is most unfortunate.

Lastly, Director (HR) clearly mentioned that if Associations continue to condemn the Management against the promotions then Management will not like to promote executives and meeting lasted.

Though this batch of JAOs belongs to JAO batch 2012, they have been trained in 2016. Being informed that all his batch mates are moving together for their claim, he was requested to join. Before signing, DS was reassured that the case is for considering their promotion alone.

From SNEA site only he could understand that his signature has been used for the stay purpose also along with other Non-AIBSNLEA Members. By understanding the trap move of another association Com. DS rushed today morning to Ernakulam and withdrawn his signature on today morning itself.

11.06.2018:  Core Committee Members meeting with CMD BSNL:

CMD BSNL called a meeting of the core committee members of all Unions and Associations wherein Comrade GS along with core committee members i.e. GS.BSNLEU, GS/NFTE and GS/SNEA attended the meeting. CMD BSNL mentioned that joint efforts of BSNL Management and all employees are required to increase the revenue of BSNL.

CFA segment: He mentioned that Broad-band connections surrender is taking place due to speed limit constraints and FTTH growth is also not much. He further mentioned that we should explain the customers that Broad-band copper market is not for speed, it is for download wherein maximum 2Mbps to 20Mbps. The tariff under Rs. 99 Plan 70 GB down load is available for speed purpose Mbps Plan through FTTH should be recommended wherein the Exchange to Subscriber premises wireless network is being created on revenue sharing basis through channel partners immediately. CAPEX will be arranged to have our own wireless system.

Cable TV operators (Local TV) are also facing threat from JIO and now we will make them cannel partner on 50:50 revenue sharing basis. In this manner the Brad band target has now been increased to 20 times.

CM Segment: CMD mentioned that in CM segment 40% revenue has gone down which has affected cash flow. The main reason is that BSNL don't have 4G spectrum and metro cities lie Delhi & Mumbai. Now BSNL decided to deal directly with retailers along-with franchises.  The commission will be paid 12% whereas Reliance JIO is giving 9% and Airtel 5%. Proper monitoring system on retailers is very much required. Recently BSNL has signed an MoU with Patanjali Group and now offering a special plan of Rs. 144 with unlimited voice, 1.5GB data per day to all Patanjali card holders. Through this we should capture the market.

EB Segment: CMD informed that last year our revenue growth was positive in this segment by providing maximum lease line circuits after 7-8 months JIO is also entering in this field. To compete with now BSNL officers have to leave their rooms and go for marketing.  And this moment is known “KAMRA CHODO - Leave the Rooms”. In this manner, CMD clarified that BSNL has to increase its revenue without depending on Govt support. At this stage, we can not ask Govt support in view of the implementation of 3^rd PRC. We assured to discuss the matter and mobilize the employees in this regard.

Incentive to BSNL employees and BSNL pensioners: CMD informed that we are finalizing an incentive scheme under Marketing Cell to the BSNL employees and BSNL pensioners for selling the BSNL brands and to become channel partners.

07.06.2018:  Judgment dated 05.06.2018 in OP (CAT) No.45/2015 pronounced by Hon'ble High Court of Kerala in matter of the inter-se seniority list of JTOs:

Certified copy of the judgment has been received by AIBSNLEA through its advocate.

<<Click here for the certified copy of the judgment>>

Stand of AIBSNLEA on the judgment pronounced by Hon'ble High Court of Kerala on 05.06.2017 in the matter of JTO to SDE promotions:

1. Hon'ble High Court Kerala is of the view that the pragmatic way of fixing seniority of the departmental JTOs and Direct Recruit JTOs would be reckon date of appointment as regards to the Direct Recruits and the date of promotion as regard to the promotes, once they successfully complete the training and then interpose them in the seniority list in accordance with the rotation of quotas, reckoning their due seniority or position in their respective list of appointment or order of promotion. In such circumstances the direct recruits are entitled to be considered for inclusion in the seniority list only after their actual entry in service and they could not make any claim to the un-filled quota of direct recruits during the period 1996 to 2001.   

2 the final seniority list by BSNL has to be finalized with in a period of six months from the date of receipts of the copy of this judgment on the above mentioned principal.

3 It will be open for BSNL to effect promotion against the unfilled vacancies of SDE equalling distributing the vacancy amongst the senior most directly recruited JTOs and senior most promote JTO subject to finalization of the final eligibility list of JTOs.   

In view of the above, AIBSNLEA feels that BSNL Management can immediately expedite CPC from JTO to SDE (T) SCF quota from the departmental JTOs of the vacancy year 1996 to 2001 and thereafter from a consolidated list of equally distributing departmental JTOs and direct recruit JTOs in 1:1 ratio.  Accordingly about 4500 departmental JTO will immediately be promoted along with direct recruited JTOs of the year 2002 Batch and SC/ST upto 2005 Batch. Thus BSNL Management should initiate and expedite CPC.

Before implementation of the CPSU Cadre Hierarchy, if above promotions orders are issued there will be no dispute of seniority which will avoid further litigations.

04.06.2018:  Status on the JTO to SDE promotion case in Hon'ble High Court of Kerala:

The case on JTO to SDE promotions was listed for hearing in Hon'ble High Court of Kerala today but could not be taken-up due to paucity of time. Now the case is listed for tomorrow at 16.15 Hrs.

04.06.2018:  Misleading information by AIGETOA against AIBSNLEA posted on their website dated 30.05.2018.

AIGETOA in their website as updated on 30.05.2018 the GS AIBSNLEA falsely indicated AIGETOA name about the Allahabad court case and un-necessarily bothered Director (HR) for the reasons best known to him. This update on AIGETOA CHQ website is false and un-called for a responsible Association without verifying the facts. The fact remains that AIBSNLEA CHQ Office Bearers had meeting with Director (HR) in the presence of GM (Pers.) and demanded to issue JTO to SDE (T) SCF quota promotions also since these JTOs are waiting for their first promotion since 1995 JTO Recruitment year. Director (HR) appreciated our concern and asked GM (Pers.) to explain the bottle neck in the promotion of JTO to SDE (T) SCF quota, if any. GM (Pers) explained that the court case in the Hon'ble High Court, Kerala has been listed for pronouncement of the judgment on 4^th June 2018 and one more court case stay order is pending in the Hon'ble High Court Allahabad and  in this regard yesterday GS AIGETOA has assured him to get withdraw the court case by tomorrow itself. After hearing this reply Director (HR) immediately spoke with CGMT Kerala Circle and directed him to take all the efforts through BSNL's advocate to get the judgment pronounced on 4^th June itself wherein CGMT Kerala Circle assured her to get the judgment pronounced on 4^th June 2018. Just after this, Director (HR) immediately called the GS AIGETOA in her chamber and advised him to ensure withdrawal of court case from Allahabad High Court by tomorrow itself and GS AIGETOA assured for its compliance by tomorrow. During these discussions, AIBSNLEA CHQ Office Bearers were present but they did not interact in between and never implicate the name of AIGETOA in it. Both the above actions of Director (HR) were based on the feedback given by the GM (Pers) only. Thus the allegation of GS AIGETOA against GS AIBSNLEA is false and uncalled for.

AIBSNLEA is working and safe guarding the interests of entire BSNL executive's community in true sense which can be witnessed since its inception in the year 2004. AIBSNLEA need not to learn the functioning from the friendly Association. With the untiring efforts of AIBSNLEA only the BSNL Management decided to initiate CPCs to fill-up the vacant Group “B” and Group “A” level posts (up to DGM level) and after this decision, AIBSNLEA promptly persuaded to issue promotion orders wherever it is immediately possible. About 2000 LDCE qualified JTOs were waiting for their posting on promotions due to SC/ST Roster implementation court case and SDE RR modifications. BSNL Management responded positive to our demand and immediately issued modified SDE RRs. These two decisions paved the way to issue promotion orders of LDCE passed JTOs to the post of SDE (T) and accordingly, Management issued the promotion orders of 1987 SDEs of LDCE quota.

To continue the process, AIBSNLEA emphasized BSNL Management to speed up CPCs work to fill-up all vacant SDE/AO and DE/CAO equivalent posts before notification of CPSU Cadre Hierarchy. Whereas, the fact remains that the so called joint forum is continuously pressurizing BSNL Management for immediate implementation of CPSU Cadre Hierarchy without holding of CPCs. The executives can analyse the truth with the ongoing developments for the last three years where more than 2000 LDCE qualified JTOs were waiting for their SDE promotion and the 4500 JTOs are waiting for the last 22 years for their first promotion to SDE cadre under SCF quota.

WHAT THESE MIGHTY ASSOCIATIONS WERE DOING FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS? Now every body is trying to take the credit for the promotions, CPSU Cadre Hierarchy etc when these are becoming reality. CPSU Cadre Hierarchy was demanded by AIBSNLEA in the year 2011 where a committee headed by Shri S.R. Kapoor, the then PGM (FP) was constituted thereafter again another committee headed by the then PGM (SR) Shri N.K. Narang was constituted but both the committees failed to submit the report. Thereafter, a new committee headed by the then ED (NB) Shri M.A, Khan was constituted wherein AIBSNLEA, SNEA and AIGETOA were the members from Association side and after many marathon meetings the committee report was submitted which was twisted by Pers Cell BSNL Corporate Office in close coordination with the so called majority Association after referendum and with the support of their associate Association of Joint Forum. But, with the timely action taken by AIBSNLEA, many important modifications / improvements were incorporated in the CPSU Cadre Hierarchy. AIBSNLEA always demanded cut-off date from the last CPC or from the year of recruitment and some more issues but BSNL Board approved it with prospective date of implementation which AIBSNLEA protested and demanded immediate holding of CPCs to fill up the vacant SDE/AO, DE/CAO and equivalent posts before notification of CPSU Cadre Hierarchy to save the executives from humiliation because after CPSU cadre Hierarchy implementation all the existing RRs and posts of Group “B” and STS equivalent will be abolished and  under new promotion policy. Under this CPSU Cadre Hierarchy these SDEs/ AOs equivalent executives are first to be promoted to the functional post of Sr. SDE/ Sr. AO equivalent and thereafter to the post of DE/CAO. It will further stagnate the existing SDEs and AOs who are waiting for their DE/CAO promotion.

Whether the so called joint forum leaders are not aware of the facts that BSNL Management is intending to notify MT Recruitment simultaneously with the implementation of CPSU Cadre Hierarchy? If known, why they are hiding this fact from their members? Since they claim that they were involved in the process of finalization of CPSU Cadre Hierarchy and what is their stand now?

AIBSNLEA has cleared its view to the BSNL Management on all the occasions whether it is during discussions or in writing to oppose MT Recruitment at STS level. Thus AIBSNLEA in true sense trying to protect the interest of entire executive community in BSNL rather than playing with the career prospects of executives in BSNL. Let the executives be understand the game plan of the so called Joint Forum Associations from the above facts.
