22.05.2017: Meeting with CMD, BSNL:

GS, FS, AGS (HQ) and Advisor (HQ) met CMD BSNL and discussed regarding:

a) Implementation of E-2 and E-3 pay scales as replacement of E-1A and E-2A and upgradation of Subsequent pay scales:  We expressed our serious concern against the BSNL’s latest letter to DOT in limiting replacement E-1A by E-2 and E-2A by E-3 pay scales revising its earlier proposal of up-gradation of subsequent pay scales E-3 by E-4, E-4 by E-5, E-5 by E-6 and E-6 by E-7.  This limitation will create disparity among the pay scales of Executives in BSNL. Several seniors executives in E-5 scale are stagnated for the last two years and executives will be forced to continue in E-3 pay scale for more than 10 years which will cause further frustration. We categorically told that in case the subsequent pay scales are not up-graded, then against this disparity AIBSNLEA will be forced to go on agitation. CMD after discussion assured to look in to the matter.

b) Implementation of 3^rd PRC: We appraised CMD about our discussions with Addl. Secretary (T) in this regard and requested CMD BSNL to kindly use his good office in DPE through Secretary (T) to get approved the 3rd PRC report implementation in BSNL with 15% fitment.  CMD assured to discuss the matter with Secretary (T)

c) Illegal promotion of 41 DGMs (Engg.) of 147 SDEs of LDCE quota whose seniority have been quashed by Hon’ble High Court Kerala and SLP is pending in the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India:  We expressed our resentment against the illegal promotion of ineligible DEs to 41 DGM (Engg) posts of 147 SDEs of LDCE quota whose seniority is quashed by the Hon’ble High Court Kerala and SLP is pending in the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India. The JTOs joined in the year 1995,1994,1993,1992,1991 and 1990  have been assigned seniority  as SDEs against the vacancy of year 1994,1995, 1996 which has been quashed by Hon’ble High Court Kerala because these JTOs were eligible to write TES Gr-‘B’ examination on completion of 5 years of JTO regular service and thereafter only they can eligible to write TES Gr.’B’ LDCE.  Here the JTOs who were not born in the cadre of JTOs are given TES Gr ‘B’ seniority prior to their JTO joining in the department.  CMD BSNL after detail discussions assured to get examine the case at the earliest.

CMD immediately discussed the matter with Director (HR) and Member (S) to confirm the developments. CMD categorically mentioned that in view of BSNL's positive EBITA (i.e. Earning Before Interest, Taxes and Amortization), DoT should recommend 15% fitment to BSNL executives to DPE.  However, he assured to discuss the matter with Secretary (T) for favourable decision.  He also advised us to meet Secretary (T) and Secretary, DPE to achieve 15% fitment.

GS, AGS (HQ) and CS MH circle met PGM (EW) and discussed regarding-

(A) CPC from JTO (E) to SDE (E) - We requested to expedite CPC from JTO (E) to SDE (E) and extended thanks for issuing EE (E) to SE (E) promotion orders.  PGM (EW) mentioned that to fill-up 13 posts of SDE (E) by way of promotions from JTO (E), the work has been completed but the file is pending in Pers. cell for the last one month for approval.  He also informed that the proposal to initiate CPC to fill up 114 EE (E) posts on adhoc basis is also pending in Pers.

16.05.2017: Meeting with Joint Secretary (Admn.) DoT:

GS, AGS (HQ) met with Joint Secretary (Admn.), DoT and discussed regarding:

(A) Replacement of E1A by E-2 and E2 by E-3 and subsequent pay scales accordingly: We requested for consideration of replacement of E-1A by E-2, E-2A by E-3 and subsequent pay scales E-3 by E-4, E-4 by E-5, E-5 by E-6 and E-6 by E-7 for JTO/SDE/Sr. SDE/DE/DGM equivalent executive cadres as per the initial proposal of BSNL to remove the stagnation and to resolve the issue once for all since there is not much financial implications. Joint Secretary (Admn.) DoT after detail discussions mentioned that DoT will take decision on the basis of overall purview.

(B) Implementation of 3^rd PRC recommendations with 15% fitment: We inquired about the outcome of DoT presentation to DPE made by DoT on 12.5.2017. Joint Secretary (Admn.) informed that the presentation to DPE was made by Addl. Secretary (T) and not by him. The brief note on the discussion with DPE will be received from Addl.

On our request of 15% fitment benefit to BSNL executives, Joint Secretary (Admn.) replied that in the past meeting with Secretary it was clarified that 3rd PRC report has already been notified and on the basis further decisions are to be taken.  It seems that DoT may not recommend 15% fitment to BSNL employees. Against this we have to decide strategies to achieve 15% fitment at any cost.

16.05.2017 Comrade V.K. Paramasivam (VKP) is no more

15.05.2017: Meeting with Director (HR)

GS, FS, AGS (HQ) met Director (HR) and discussed:

(A) Implementation of 3^rd PRC report: We requested Director (HR) for using her good office in DoT/DPE for the implementation of 3^rd PRC with 15% fitment benefit in BSNL. Director (HR) mentioned that earlier Member (S), Telecom Commission has submitted the same proposal of BSNL to DPE in this regard but now the matter is being handled by Addl. Secretary (T), DoT, hence matter needs to be persuaded by all of us in DoT/DPE to get approved 15% fitment benefit to BSNL executives.

(B) DE to DGM (promotion): While extending  our thanks for issuing 438 DGM promotion we expressed serious resentment against 41 DGMs promotion of 147 (LDCE) SDEs group whose seniority has been quashed by the Hon'ble High Court Kerala and SLP in pending in the Hon'ble Supreme Court to decide their seniority.  Hence these 41 non-eligible DEs have been promoted to DGM posts above their senior DEs. It has caused serious frustration amongst the senior DEs who are fighting in the Hon'ble Supreme Court for justice.  Director (HR), after detailed discussions in the presence of GM (SR), Jt. GM (Pers.) and OSD directed Jt. GM (Pers.) to take immediate legal opinion and will further discuss the matter with AIBSNLEA after joining of PGM (Pers.) from leave shortly.

CMD BSNL informed that BSNL has already recommended to DOT for 15% fitment benefit to BSNL executives and on Friday (12-5-2017) Jt. Secy. (T) DoT has submitted the same to DPE for further necessary action.  He assured to discuss the matter with new Secretary (T) shortly and will try to plead before DPE along with DoT officers.  He further mentioned that Member (S), Telecom Commission has transferred this matter to Administrative Cell of DOT as it is of their domain. He was dealing the matter earlier since the out going Secretary (T), Shri J.S Deepak assigned him this work. CMD advised us also to pursue the matter in DoT/DPE for positive implementation.

(b) DE to DGM promotion:  We extended our thanks for issuing 438 DGM promotion orders but expressed serious resentment against the 41 DGMs promotion of the DEs who belongs to 147 LDCE SDEs (T) group whose seniority has been quashed by the  Hon'ble High Court Kerala and  SLP is still pending in the  Hon'ble Supreme Court to decide their seniority.  Hence the non-eligible DEs have been promoted above the senior DEs.  It has caused serious resentment and demoralisation to senior DEs who will now work under their juniors.  CMD appreciated our concern and mentioned that he has already directed Director (HR) to investigate the matter as per the letter given by us in this regard.

02.05.2017 AIBSNLEA stand on replacement of existing pay scales:

AIBSNLEA has reiterated its stand on the replacement of intermediatory pay scales E1A, E2A and other scales E3,E4,E5, E6 by E2,E3,E4,E5,E6 and E7 respectively and accordingly has given a letter to CMD, BSNL and Secretary (Telecom) for reconsideration. In this connection BSNL has already sent a proposal to DoT vide letter number 1-13/2015-PAT (BSNL) dated 06.06.2016 for approval wherein-

(i) Pay scale of JTO & SDE (& equivalent executives) may be revised to E2 and E3 respectively as replacement of pre-revised scale of E1A / E2A w.e.f. 01.01.2007.

(ii) The pay scales E3, E4, E5 & E6 may be up-graded to E4, E5, E6 & E7 w.e.f. 01.01.2007 in respect of the cadres of Sr. SDE, AGM, DGM and SG-DGM respectively and appropriate changes may accordingly be approved in the BSNL Executive Promotion Policy.

AIBSNLEA is demanding the same for the benefit of all executives. AIBSNLEA represents all disciplines of the executive of BSNL whether it is BSNL absorbed or BSNL recruited, hence trying for benefit of all the cadres. In case, Executive Associations do not insist upon for the approval of above BSNLs proposal then all the Executive Cadres will never forgive them. Moreover replacement of E1A by E2, E2A by E3 and subsequent pay scales E3 by E4, E4 by E5, E5 by E6 and E6 by E7 was first item in the Manifesto of AIBSNLEA for the Membership Verification held in December 2016. AIBSNLEA strongly opposed keeping one Executive in E3 Scale for ten years consequent upon revision of E1A by E2 and E2A by E3 scales.    

JTO / JAO promotions will not end at the level of SDE / AO only but they will be promoted to the higher grades also. In view of this all the pay scales have to be up-graded as already accepted and recommended by the BSNL Management.

When AIBSNLEA is demanding up-gradation of scales up-to E-7 grade, how it can be unfortunate? AIBSNLEA has been demanding for the replacement of E1A by E2 and E2A by E3 but it cannot drop the demand of up-gradation of higher scales upto E7 grade since it represents all the cadres of BSNL executives.

In aforesaid proposal financial burden on BSNL towards perks & allowances of the executives would be bare minimum as the executives from the scales E3, E4, E5 and E6 would be simply placed to the next higher scale i.e. E4, E5, E6 & E7 and most of them will not get any financial benefit even of a single penny except those whose stagnation comes to an end. Hence, there would not be any cascading effect.

We therefore, just requested CMD, BSNL to insist upon DoT for approval of this proposal to resolve the problem once for all.

We have also requested BSNL Management to persuade for approval of the proposal of deduction of pension contribution payable to DoT on actual pay of an executive instead of the highest of his/her pay scale. This will reduce the additional financial implications on BSNL on account of pension contributions to bare minimum.

However, AIBSNLEA support will continue to AIGETOA for their strugle.

02.05.2017 Circulation of fake order on replacement of E1A and E2A pay scales by E2 and E3 pay scales respectively:

GS discussed with Director (PSU) to confirm the validity of a letter send by him on 01.05.2017 regarding replacement of E1A and E2A pay scales by E2 and E3 pay scales respectively. Director (PSU) informed that NO SUCH ORDER HAS BEEN SIGNED BY HIM. It is a fake order which has been circulated fraudulently by some miscreants.

During discussions we requested CMD BSNL for the filling-up all vacant DGM (Engg) posts got vacant consequent upon adhoc promotion of all ITS officers working as Addl. GM to the post of GMs. CMD appreciated our concern and assured to fill-up all vacant DGM (Engg) Posts. Accordingly, today evening CMD BSNL has approved CPC minutes from promotion from DE to DGM to fill-up 513 vacant DGM (Engg) posts. The promotion orders of 513 DE to DGM are expected today itself. AIBSNLEA CHQ is continuously pursuing for the promotion ordrs. We are extremely thankful to CMD BSNL for considering our request to fill-up all vacant 513 DGM (Engg) posts in the ensuing CPC itself. About 46 SDEs qualified in the year 1989 are expected to be covered.

AIBSNLEA WISHES

A VERY HAPPY & PROSPEROUS

1st MAY- International Workers' Day

to One & all

 *** The Foundation Day of AIBSNLEA on 1st May 2017***

AIBSNLEA is celebrating its 14^th Foundation Day on 1^st May 2017. AIBSNLEA CHQ extends warm greetings to all the Members of AIBSNLEA and well wishers on the occasion.  AIBSNLEA was formally launched on 1st May, 2004 by merging of 10 DoT recognized Gr "B" Associations namely TESA (I), AFSOA, AIJTOA, AIPTCE (Gr.-'B'), AIPTEE (Gr.-'B'), AIJEA, AIPTAA, ABDRA, AITSA, BSNLEA. AIBSNLEA is in the true sense protecting the interest of BSNL Executives as well as of BSNL.

On this day, we recollect the sacrifice of the May Day martyrs. We pledge to carry forward their struggle to establish a Socialist Society, free of exploitation of man by man.

All the Circle / District Secretaries are requested to organize Special General Body Meetings, Seminars, Get-togethers, Blood Donation Camps, Telecom Melas etc. to observe the Foundation Day in a befitting manner.

Com. GS  also briefed about the HR issues and achievements of the AIBSNLEA. He explained the status of various CPCs, Court Cases, DE to DGM promotion, Standard  pay scale status, CPSU cadre hierarchy issue, restructuring of AD(OL), E1+5 increment, SDE RR, CPSU cadre Hierarchy, Superannuation benefits of DRs, Diversion of posts of CAOs, AD(OL) case of pay equivalent to SDE/AO, Rule 8 transfers etc, DPC in Civil/Electrical wing, JTO (Officiating) regularization, PPS posts creation in field units, DPCs of Telecom Factory and the issues of PA/PS etc, creation of leave encashment trust etc. Com. GS appraised the house about the unfortunate difference in pay scales of JTOs due to the arbitrary orders of DoT. He mentioned that AIBSNLEA is trying its level best for the introduction of standard pay scales.  He mentioned that AIBSNLEA is very much concerned about the HR issues and will definitely achieve the desired results, but at the same time he also requested all the executives to provide best services to the customers and increase the revenue. Com. GS also mentioned the facts of the recent agitation done by the United Forum consisting of AIBSNLEA, AIGETOA and AITEEA.

Com. GS mentioned that the Govt. has withdrawn the ADC charges and not allowed BSNL to participate in the 3G spectrum bid and subsequently BSNL was imposed the 3G spectrum with highest rate.  Subsequently Govt has taken away the reserve fund of 30,000 crores from BSNL and BSNL was not able to procure the equipment required for its expansion.   The Govt. is taking the pension contribution from BSNL on highest of IDA pay scale instead of the actual pay of an executive. He mentioned that Rs 500 Crores/Annum may be saved by taking pension contribution on actual basic.  

The entire Conference Hall was Jam Packed with mammoth gathering.

28.04.2017 Update on the issuance of promotion orders for DE to DGM (Engg.)

24.04.2017 AIBSNLEA supports AIGETOA agitation

AIBSNLEA has extended its support to the agitation of AIGETOA in view of the common demands for which we jointly struggled in the past under the banner of United Forum of BSNL Executives' Associations. The arbitrary notification of E1A & E2A intermediatory pay scales by DoT has lowered the status of JTO & SDE equivalent executives. Future recruitment of JTO & JAO will take place in E1 pay scale only. This fact was well known that DoT has processed E1A & E2A intermediatory pay scales then how the said Majority Executive Association has allowed its notification. In the recent referendum of Executives' Associations, Majority Association has been given all negotiation powers on policy matters concerning to the executives in BSNL. Hence, the Majority Association just after the notification of these intermediatory pay scales should have exhausted all negotiation channels in BSNL & DoT to get withdrawal of this notification instead of jumping into agitation directly. However, it is up-to them to take such decision. AIGETOA has preferred to align with the Majority Association for the settlement of HR issues leaving aside the platform of United Forum of BSNL Executives' Associations comprising AIBSNLEA, AIGETOA & AITEEA.

AIBSNLEA, eventhough is committed to support AIGETOA in their efforts for settlement of the genuine HR issues but AIBSNLEA can't be mortgaged to some association. AIBSNLEA is struggling for getting limited Trade Union Facilities at All India Level/Circle Level & SSA Level with BSNL Management and through court cases.

At present after the referendum process AIBSNLEA CHQ, Circles & SSAs are not mentally prepared for the agitation. In case the CHQ Office Bearers, Circle/District Office Bearers & Members are victimized by the management, AIBSNLEA does not have any recognized channel to save them.

In view of this, AIBSNLEA decided to extend its solidarity support to AIGETOA struggle. We extend our best wishes and support for the success of their struggle & settlement of HR issues.

Member (Services) informed that the BSNL's comments in this regard with positive comments from DoT have been sent to Cabinet Secretariat for taking further necessary action. But, the further discussions in the Cabinet Secretariat are yet to be taken only after joining of the new Secretary (Telecom) in DoT.

We also extended our sincere thanks to Member (Services) for issuing the orders of enhancing the gratuity limit from 10 Lakhs to 20 Lakhs for BSNL Pensioners. Member (Services) mentioned that he made efforts to get it approved from Cabinet secretariat and thereafter immediately issued the orders.

Member (Services) informed that DoT has also taken-up the issue of IDA Pension revision of BSNL pensioners with 3rd PRC in Cabinet Secretariat. We appraised him that earlier also the pension revision of BSNL pensioner was delayed by two years and 78.2% fitment benefit is also delayed by three years. Now, BSNL pensioners demanding 78.2% fitment benefit from 01.01.2007 are filing court cases.

Member (Services) also mentioned regarding double pay fixation in the same scale under EPP has been objected by the CCA and the matter is under discussions. We pleaded that EPP was approved by BSNL Board and the DoT and thereafter the notification was issued. Hence, at this stage review of EPP will cause serious resentment among the executives of BSNL.

(ii) E2 and E3 pay scales for JTO and SDE equivalent cadres: We requested Director (HR) to take up the matter with DoT to withdraw the OM dated 28.03.2017 on E1A and E2A pay scales notification. Implementation of intermediatory pay scales E1A and E2A are lowering the pay scales of the executives without any penalty imposed. It has also degraded the JTO and SDE equivalent cadres of the executives. Since future recruitment of JTO/JAO will be in the E1 IDA Pay scale only. Director (HR) mentioned that she tried to discuss the matter with Addl. Secretary (T), DoT but he is on leave. She also discuss the matter with PS to Hon'ble MOSC (IC) wherein he clarified that the proposal sent by BSNL/DoT has been approved by the Hon'ble MOSC (IC). However, she will try to discuss the matter with Secretary (Telecom).

Director (HR) mentioned that Smt. A. Panda, PGM (PF-II) committee report was studied and some clarifications have been asked from the committee Chairperson. She assured an early action in this regard.  

(iv) Conduction of CPCs: We expressed our serious concern against the non-holding of the CPCs in almost all the cadres which have been stalled in the name of pending court cases. It has caused stagnation in the career prospects of executives. Director (HR) appreciated our concern and mentioned that tomorrow she is going to meet with Sr. Advocate Sr. R.D. Aggrawala to find a way out to conduct CPCs in view of the urgent requirement of BSNL and pending court cases. We requested Director (HR) to discuss the Kerala High Court issue also with the Sr. Advocate wherein the hearings are completed and the judgment is kept reserved. Director (HR) assured to discuss this issue also.

(v) Implementation of CPSU cadre hierarchy:  We requested for the implementation of CPSU cadre hierarchy as recommended by the Khan Committee.

Director (HR) mentioned that the new draft proposal prepared by the Pers. Cell has been agreed by SNEA(I), the Majority Association. However, she assured to direct PGM (Pers.) to discuss the matter with AIBSNLEA also.

(vi) Method of vacancy calculation for the cadre of JTOs: We expressed our concern against keeping in abeyance the orders earlier issued by the Estt Cell of BSNL Corporate Office in respect of Punjab circle and other circles. PGM (Estt) who was also present in the meeting explained that Kerala Circle has raised some queries in this regard referring DoP&T instruction on SC/ST carried forward vacancies and Pers. Cell letter issued in the year 2013 on creation of PA cadre posts. After examining the Kerala Circle letter it was found logical and on that basis immediately the said clarification was kept abeyance till the matter is finalized. Director (HR) directed PGM (Estt) to discuss the matter with PGM (Pers.) and take the written clarification in this regard at the earliest to resolve the issue.

(vii) Non-consideration of request / immunity ground transfers in the Finance Wing: We expressed our serious resentment against the non-consideration of request / immunity ground transfers in the Finance Wing. Director (HR) assured to discuss the matter with GM (FP).

(viii) Approval of BSNL Board on the HR issues cleared by BSNL MC: We requested for an early approval of BSNL Board on the pending HR issues cleared by BSNL MC long before i.e. E1+5 advance increments benefit to JTO(SRD)/JAO 2013 batch & PA Cadre, diversion of 50% MT quota CAO posts to Seniority quota, modification in SDE RR & E5 toE6 grade time bound promotions to DGM(Adhoc) etc. Director(HR) mentioned that as soon as HR Plan of BSNL is approved by BSNL Board, immediately all these pending HR issues will also be approved by BSNL Board. She assured an early action in this regard.

(ix) Posting of LDCE qualified JTOs in SDE grade: Director(HR) mentioned that as soon as the modification in SDE RR is approved by BSNL Board and she will discuss a Sr. Advocate to take out the way for promotion in view of Hon'ble High Court Chandigarh judgment & SLP filed in Hon'ble Supreme Court in this regard.

18.04.2017 Active support of AIBSNLEA to the agitation programmes being launched by Joint Forum of BSNL Executives Associations :

AIBSNLEA extends its its active support to the agitation programmes being launched by the Joint Forum of BSNL Executives Associations in view of the common HR issues of Executives raised in the charter of demands as the settlement of the important issues is more important rather than the credit who so ever takes it.

Further, at this juncture, AIBSNLEA suggests to have a single Executive Association by merging all the existing Executive Associations in BSNL. Single Executive Association will have a great strength and bargaining power to impress upon the DoT Administration as well as BSNL Management and to provide a safe umbrella to the entire executive fraternity of BSNL. This concept is available in many PSUs.

14.04.2017:Special General Body meeting at Port Blaire of Andaman & Nicobar Circle: Com. GS attended and addressed the Special General Body meeting at Port Blaire of Andaman & Nicobar Circle on 13^th April, 2017 in Hotel Sun Sea Resort. Com. B. Partra, DGM & Circle President A&N Circle welcomed the members & Com. GS. He discussed regarding the financial viability of A&N Circle & difficulties being faced by the executives in relieving on tenure transfers. He requested CHQ intervention.

Com. Samir Choudhary, Circle Secretary A&N Circle in his keynote address while welcoming Com. GS discussed the issue related to A&N Circle& CHQ level. He explained that A&N Circle is facing acute shortage of executives in all the discipline.  On tenure transfers, substitutes are not being posted to A&N Circle hence executives are facing difficulties in getting relieved. He also apprised regarding non relieving of executives of Civil Wing, who have been transferred on tenure by Chief Engineer Civil WB Circle Kolkata & now BSNL Corporate Office has changed the reporting of A&N Circle Civil Wing to Chennai Chief Engineer Civil to technical control. It has caused the problem. He requested CHQ intervention. He also requested to expedite CPCs from JTO to SDE, SDE to DE, DE to DGM, JAO to AO, AO to CAO, CAO to DGM(F), JTO(C/E) to SDE(C/E), SDE(C) to EE(C) etc and requested to upgrade the post of PA to CGM A&N Circle to the grade of PS. He also requested  for consideration of pending tenure transfer cases etc.

Com. GS in his address extended sincere thanks to Com. Circle President & Circle Secretary for arranging Special General Body meeting on short notice in a grand manner. He congratulated all the executives for making A&N Circle a profit making Circle. He also discussed the importance of A&N state in safe guarding in the interest of Nation. He appreciated the efficient mobile service in A&N Circle in comparison to other private operators.  Com. GS discussed in detail regarding viability of BSNL i.e. absence of Govt. support & lack of interest of BSNL management to safe guard the interest of BSNL & its executives. He expressed resentment against arbitrary notification of intermediatory E1A & E2A pay scales by DoT,  which has lowered the pay scales of JTO/SDE equivalent executives. Also killing of the issues i.e. Rs. 22820/- pay fixation case of JTOs/JAOs post recruited 2007 and CPSU cadre hierarchy as recommended by KHAN Committee. He explained that how BSNL management in a calculated & strategic manner has buried the issues. Similarly, many other important HR issues i.e. E1+5 advance increment, diversion of 50% MT quota CAO posts to seniority quota, non- modification of SDE RR, E5 to E6 pay fixation to DGM(Adhoc) etc. are pending for the last one & half year for want of BSNL's Board approval. All CPCs are held up on the pretext of pending court cases but no sincere efforts are being made by the BSNL management to resolve the issue.

AIBSNLEA, AIGETOA & AITEEA under banner of United Forum launched agitation programme in the month of Dec., 2016 for the settlement of these important issues and with the assurance given by the BSNL management, the agitation was deferred. Thereafter BSNL management immediately victimized the office bearers & the members of these associations by issuing memorandum & salary deduction making dias-non. Unfortunately this act of BSNL management was supported by some executive associations, which has weakened the unity of executives in BSNL. He suggested that in BSNL there should be only one executive association to fight with the management & to safeguard the interest of BSNL community. He further extended sincere thanks to A&N Circle for organizing the meeting in a nice manner. Com. GS suggested merging of all associations in a single association for the unity of BSNL's executive & to fight against management to safeguard the interest of BSNL executives.

Com. R. Chandrashekaran,  DGM(IFA) extended vote of thanks. Dinner followed.

United Forum of Executives Associations will shortly finalize the protest actions against such demoralizing act of DoT / BSNL.

It is unfortunate that the matter has been mis-handled by some executives Associations by giving a call of agitation & withdrawing without any fruitful outcome. It has strengthen DoT to ignore the protest of BSNL Executives. The fact remains that efforts were taken by the same executive associations to sabotage the outgoing agitation call given by United Forum of BSNL Executives Associations in the month of Dec., 2016 and Jan., 2017 and they impressed upon the BSNL Management to victimize the CHQ/Circle/Distt. level office bearers of United Forum by issuing the memorandum & deduction of salary for two days i.e. 27th & 28th Dec., 2016 for participating in Dharna programme. These actions has strengthen the BSNL/DoT management to conveniently ignore the genuine grievances of executives in BSNL.

Hence, United Forum has to decide its own course of actions to protest the interest of entire BSNL Executives community rather coming under the trap of so called executive associations to further damage the interest of executives of BSNL.

Let us decide & keep ready for the conclusive struggle to show the strength of executives in achieving the settlement of legitimate demands.
