efforts for 3rd PRC implementation in BSNL:
AIBSNLEA CHQ have been making its best efforts in DoT /
Ministry/ DPE to conveyance the concern authorities for the
implementation of 3rd PRC in BSNL Accordingly the
facts are being informed to all concern through our CHQ
Website. As rightly reported by AIBSNLEA in the morning of
20.7.2017 in our CHQ Website the actual status and process
of 3rd PRC implementation in PSUs / BSNL was
later on confirmed by Shri Niteswar Kumar ji (IAS) PS to
Hon'ble MOSC in the meeting held with AIBSNLEA on 20.7.2017(
Evening). Hence , AIBSNLEA is correctly informing all the
developments on day to day basis to our members through
our CHQ web site and doing hard work to ensure 3rd
PRC Implementation in BSNL. But the so called Majority
Association instead of informing the actual status and truth
is creating hipe in the minds of the Executives for which
the reasons are best known to them.
The actual process of 3rd PRC implementation is
that after the notification of 3rd PRC
implementation in PSUs for the Pay hike of Executives the
respective PSUs will take decision in their Board and will
send the proposal to the Administrative Ministry for the
issuance of the Presidential Directive. Similarly after DPE
notification of 3rd PRC recommendations, BSNL
Board will take the decision and will send to DOT for
approval and for issuance of Presidential Directives. Now in
the DPE notification it has to be seen that whether the
Administrative Ministry/Board of the PSUs have been
empowered by the Cabinet to allow dispension of the
“Affordability Clause"
of 3rd PRC report. In case Board/Administrative
Ministry is empowered then BSNL Board and DOT Administration
should implement the 3rd PRC in BSNL in the
interest of its Viability otherwise, we have to fight
organisationally.
Today GS contacted the concerned Officers of DPE with regard
to the Notification of 3rd PRC, it is understood
that the draft notification on cabinet approval has been
processed to the higher level Officers for approval. The
notification of 3rd PRC is expected in the next
week.
AIBSNLEA is committed for 3rd PRC implementation
and in case the BSNL Board/DOT Administration do not
implement it, in that case AIBSNLEA will never hesitate to
go on indefinite Strike. Let us watch the developments
closely and will take immediate organisational action, if
required at the appropriate time.

After these meetings, the Central
Office Bearers meeting continued ..........
Please identify and understand self-proclaimed saviors of
BSNL executives who does nothing but malign others.
E1A and
E2A replacement by E2 and E3 and subsequent up gradation
of pay
scales:
Since beginning, the stand of AIBSNLEA is to extend the E2
and E3 standard pay scales approved by the Cabinet in place
of intermediatory
pay scales of E1A and E2A. We are continuously pursuing the
issue from pillar to post and at all levels in BSNL, DoT and
Ministry.
Comrades, it is not the rocket science
and nobody needs a superficial knowledge, to understand the
ill effects of not upgrading the scales further from E3 to
E4, E4 to E5, E5 to E6 and E6 to E7.
We believe that JTO/JAO promotions
will not end at the level of SDE/AO only but they will be
promoted to the higher grades also.
AIBSNLEA cannot drop the demand of
up-gradation of higher scales up-to E7 grade since it
represents all the cadre of BSNL Executives including SDE,
Sr. SDE, AO, Sr. AO, DE, CAO, DGM and etc.
Whether the members of the so
called Majority Association i.e. SDE, Sr. SDE, AO, Sr. AO,
DE, CAO, DGM and etc understand the demand of the said Joint
Forum for the implementation of standard Pay scales without
subsequent up-gradation of Pay scales.
So Comrades, we have to educate
the comrades, in the so called majority association about
the pay loss/pay anomaly and stagnation of pay and ill
effects due to the implementation of standard pay scales
without subsequent up-gradation of Pay scales of E3 to E7
level and make them to join in the AIBSNLEA who is the real
saviour of all the Executives in BSNL.
Because of the genuineness and the importance of the issue,
BSNL Management took the conscious decision to recommend E2
and E3 pay scales in replacement of pre- revised E1A and E2A
and upgrading the scales from E2 to E3, E3 to E4, E4 to E5,
E5 to E6 and E6 to E7 to the administrative ministry.
Despite the negative pressure applied by the majority
association, the BSNL management in response to the
clarification sought by the DoT, has not dropped the earlier
proposal dated 6.6.2016 of up gradation of pay scales and it
has categorically reiterated the need for implementing
subsequent up gradation of pay scales. BSNL management has
requested DOT for E2 and E3 pay scales in replacement of
pre-revised E1A and E2A.
Part-I of the proposal in BSNL's letter dated 6.6.2016 for
replacement of E1A and E2A with E2 & E3 is a residual issue
of 2nd PRC and may be approved. The Part-II of
BSNL's proposal will be taken up at the time of 3rd
PRC.
The so called majority Executive Association also gave a
call of agitation for the same demands and withdraw it
without any fruitful out come during Feb'2017 which
strengthened DOT to ignore the protest of BSNL Executives.
The fact remains that efforts were taken by the same
Executive Association 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 on 27th & 28th Dec, 2016
for participating in Dharna conducted for the same demand of
up-gradation pay scales. Such type of actions strengthened
the BSNL/DOT management to conveniently ignore the genuine
grievances of executives in BSNL.
10 years in E3 Scale:
All the executives including the first Batch of JTOs/JAOs
recruited in the year 2001 and 2002 will have to remain in
E3 scale for 10 years proposed by BSNL Management on the
demand of majority Association double pay fixation in E-3
scale is against the pay fixation rules of DoP&T. It is also
in violation of Executive Promotion Policy because as per
EPP, all time bound promotions are to take place after each
5 years in the next higher grade. Is it acceptable to so
called Majority Association members? We are not short
sighted organization and we analyse the ill effects which
are going to affect all the executives and young comrades in
particular.
CPSU hierarchy and MT recruitment:
The BSNL management took more than two years and understood
that it has finalized the CPSU hierarchy in consultation
with the majority association. It appears that the
recommendations are not based on the agreed policy initiated
by Khan Committee. The recruitment of MT which is the hidden
agenda of BSNL management and the majority association is
colluded with the Management and supporting MT recruitment.
The so called saviours of Engineers have to come out with
black and white for debate in this regard. We will fight it
out with tooth and nail and will not allow these negative
forces to spoil the future of BSNL executives especially our
talented young comrades. MT recruitment is nothing but the
entry of old ITS RR and because of this, the entire
executives could not get even two promotions in their
carrier. We will not allow this mental stress to continue
for younger comrades.
Thus, all the Executives may understand that who are the
negative forces and what their hidden agenda is and come out
from the self-proclaimed saviours association and join in
the AIBSNLEA which is always working for the betterment of
all the Executives.

A Wrong implementation of Night Free
Calling order for the Pensioner:
We informed that along with the Implementation of Free Night
Calling to the BSNL Pensioners, the STD calls made during

C Elimination of the present role of

Regarding appointment of JAO Batch No. 5 & 6 of Haryana
Telecom Circle.
04.07.2017 Meeting with Hon'ble
MOS (C) (I/C) Govt. of India Shri Manoj Sinha Ji:
GS, President, FS and AGS (HQ) met Shri Manoj Sinha Ji
Hon'ble MOS(C) (I/C) at 17.30 Hrs. and extended extreme
thanks for granting us a meeting despite of his very busy
schedule of Programmes. While submitting the letter, we
explained that implementation of 3rd PRC
recommendations with 15%
fitment benefit is must in BSNL to keep the entire
employees motivated in the interest of BSNL/Govt. We pleaded
that BSNL without any financial support of Govt. is managing
its maintenance and operations from its own resources and
any financial burden caused due to implementation of 3rd PRC
recommendations with 15% fitment benefit will also be borne
by BSNL.
BSNL is providing Telecom Services in the far flung and
remotest areas of the country on reduced tariff. It is also
executing all the important Projects of Govt. of India i.e. NOFN, NFS and services in Naxalite areas. Also provided
reliable services during natural calamities in J&K,
Uttarakhand, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Tsunami
in A&N states etc. Thus in the interest of Public and Nation,
the very existence of BSNL is must and this is only
possible when its employees are devoted to achieve customer
satisfaction. Hence, these employees are to be contended by
getting revised their Pay Scales on implementation of 3rd
PRC recommendations with 15% fitment benefit. Moreover, 80% of the BSNL
employees were DOT employees before 01.10.2000 and after
their absorption only they joined BSNL.
Hon'ble MOS (C) (I/C) appreciated our concern and while
directing on our letter he spoke with PS and directed him to
discuss the matter with Secretary (T). He assured for favorable
action on implementation of 3rd PRC
recommendations in BSNL. He also directed PS to discuss the matter with
Secretary (T) to consider BSNL's earlier proposal dated 06.06.2016 on replacement of
E-1A by E-2, E-2A by E-3 and subsequent pay scales up-gradation from E-3 to E-4, E-4 to E-5, E-5 to E-6 and E-6
to E-7.
We also requested for calculation of Pension Contributions
in respect of employees of DOT absorbed in BSNL on actual
basic of Pay instead of the maximum of the Pay Scale. We
submitted a letter in this regard to Hon'ble MOS (C) (I/C)
and he assured to look into the matter.
Non implementation of 7th CPC recommendations to the erstwhile
DOT employee who were absorbed in BSNL/ MTNL and since
retired and drawing pension under CCS (Pension Rules-1972 as
amended from time to time. Hon'ble MOS (C) (I/C) after some
discussions assured to look into the matter.
At last after detailed discussions, Hon'ble MOS (C) (I/C)
advised to further improve the BSNL services as he is receiving many
subscribers complaints. We assured him to make our best
efforts to achieve the customer satisfaction.
GS, President, FS and AGS (HQ) met CMD BSNL and discussed
regarding Implementation of
3rd PRC recommendations. We appraised CMD BSNL regarding our
discussions held today with Hon'ble MOS (C) (I/C) on
implementation of 3rd
PRC recommendations with 15% fitment benefit in BSNL and
replacement of E1A by E-2, E-2A by E-3 and subsequent Pay
Scales up-gradation from E-3 by E-4, E-4 by E-5, E-5 by E-6
and E-6 by E-7 as per BSNL's earlier proposal dated
06.06.2016 wherein Hon'ble MOS (C) (I/C) has given
a Positive and favorable assurance to us. We further requested
him to continue the efforts for the settlement of these
issues in the interest of BSNL.
We also appraised CMD BSNL regarding our discussions on
payment of Pension Contribution on actual basic pay instead
of the maximum of the pay scale and implementation of the
recommendations of 7th CPC to the erstwhile DOT
employees who were absorbed in BSNL/ MTNL and after
retirement drawing of Govt. Pension under CCS (Pension) Rule
of 37A.
After detailed discussions CMD BSNL appreciated our efforts
and assured to get resolve the above issues favorable.
We requested for grant of Special C/L to AIBSNLEA office bearers
for attending the Association meetings. CMD informed that
BSNL MC has partly approved the proposal and will further
examine the remaining part of the proposal in view of the
financial implications. He assured an early order in this
regard.
We also expressed our concern that Pers. Cell of BSNL CO is
not taking the views/ suggestions of AIBSNLEA on CPSU cadre
hierarchy which will affect the carrier prospects of all the
executives CMD assured to look into the matter.
04.07.2017 Meeting with Director
(HR) BSNL Board:
GS, President and AGS (HQ) met Director (HR) and discussed
regarding pay anomaly (Rs.22820/- Pay Fixation) case of JTO/JAO
post recruited-2007. We appraised Director (HR) that JTOs
year 2007 and 2008 were drawing pay in the pre-revised pay
scale up to Jan-2012 wherein the increment difference with
the JTOs 2005 batch was only 2 increments in year 2009 and 4
increments in year- 2012. But after their pay fixation in
the revised pay on implementation of 2nd PRC
recommendations
w.e.f. 01.01.2007 the increment difference increased up to 8
increments in the year 2016. Thus these JTOs are drawing
Rs.10000/- per month less pay from the JTOs of year 2005 batch.
The JTOs year-2005, 2007 and 2008 were recruited in E-1A pay
scale under same RR and continued to draw scale in pre
revised up to Jan-2012. Hence, as one time relaxation to
remove their pay loss these JTOs-2007 and 2008 batches
should be allowed to exercise option to continue in the pre
revised pay scale. After detailed discussions Director (HR)
appreciated our concern and advised her OSD to hold a
separate meeting with PGM (Estt.) on this issue immediately.
Director (HR) assured that after our discussions with
PGM (Estt.) she will further discuss the matter with us in
the presence of PGM (Estt.). Today the PGM (Estt.) was busy in
some other meeting so she could not attend the meeting.

We requested to grant Special C/L to the Office Bearers of
AIBSNLEA for attending Association activities. Director (HR)
informed that Management Committee of BSNL Board in the last
meeting has approved some facilities to AIBSNLEA under
certain conditions. She assured early orders in this regard.
B Implementation of 3rd PRC
recommendations in BSNL: We
requested to impress upon DoT for dispensing the
affordability clause of 3rd PRC report in the
case of BSNL as DPE has already sent the draft Cabinet Note
to DoT for comments. Director (HR) mentioned that already
CMD along with all the Board of Directors of BSNL has met
with Hon'ble MOSC (I/C) and pleaded in support of 3rd
PRC implementation with 15% fitment benefit in BSNL in the
interest of its viability. Director (HR) also mentioned that
CMD has explaiened to Hon'ble MOSC (I/C) during discussion
that Rs. 2500/- Crore financial burden will be borne by BSNL

C Payment of Pension contribution on

We apprised Director (HR) regarding our communication dated

all concerned Secretaries of the Departments of Expenditure
/ Personnel & Training / DoP&PW and Telecom. She appreciated
our efforts and mentioned that the matter is under
consideration in the Department of Expenditure and a
positive decision is expected soon. In this manner in case
the pension contribution is paid on actual basic BSNL will
be saving more than Rs. 700 Crores per annum after 3rd
PRC report implementation in BSNL with full 15% fitment. It
will also pave the way for replacement of E1A by E2, E2A by
E3 and thereafter upgradation of E3 by E4, E4 by E5, E5 by
E6 and E6 by E7 with a bare minimum financial burden on
BSNL.
D Delinking of Pension revision of

our efforts and assured to pursue it further in DoT.

the BSNL Management has not withdrawn its proposal sent on
06.06.2016 but this revised proposal is impracticable
wherein a section of executives' pay will be revised with
effect from 01.01.2007 as per 2nd PRC report and
other section of executives subsequent pay up-gradation will
be taken up at the time of 3rd PRC.

executives in order to remove their pay anomaly and
stagnation.

20.06.2017:
Meeting of GS, FS and AGS (GS) with PGM (Pers.) BSNL
Corporate Office:
As directed by CMD BSNL, PGM (Pers), BSNL Corporate Office
held a meeting with AIBSNLEA to discuss the complaint lodged
by us against the illegal promotion orders for 42 officers
issued by Pers Cell for the promotion from DE to DGM from
the list of 147 executives whose seniority has been quashed
by the Hon'ble High Court Kerala and direction was given to
BSNL “to be placed their
seniority against the SDEs (T) vacancies of the year
1994-95, 1995-96 and 1996-97 (up to 22.07.1996) according to
their merit as also their eligibility to appear for combined
examination. The eligibility year has to be considered
since; one combined examination was held for three years. A
candidate entitled to appear in 1996 (by reason of
completing five years of regular service in the feeder
category on the January of the year) cannot be placed in the
vacancy of 1994-95. However, high his rank may be, if the
seniority list require any recast on the above lines,
obviously, the official respondent ought to do so”.
But the Pers cell pleaded that they have fixed up 147 SDEs
(T) LDCE quota seniority as per 1986 SDE RR on the basis of
year of recruitment since the Hon'ble High Court Kerala
judgement has been challenged by the respondents in the
Hon'ble Supreme Court and it has grant “status quo” in the
year 2013. We explained that Hon'ble Supreme Court has
further delivered its the judgement to recast the TES GR-B
seniority on the basis of Rulr-206 and upheld the seniority
lists no.1 to 17 as sacrosanct instead of the seniority
list numbers 1 to 5 prepared on the basis of Rule-1966 i.e.
year of recruitment basis. Hence, the seniority of 147 SDEs
(T) of LDCE quota has to be decided by examining their
seniority as per Hon'ble High Court Kerala directions but
the Pers Cell BSNL CO is not ready to hear our arguments.
In view of this, the affected candidates are to pursue in
the Hon'ble Supreme Court for an early decision on the
pending SLP in the matter of the seniority of 147 LDCE quota
SDEs. BSNL Pers Cell is not ready to rectify their mistake
in the line of Hon'ble High Court Kerala Judgment by placing
147 SDEs of LDCE quota in proper manner in the revised
seniority list as per the Hon'ble Supreme Court judgement
delivered in the year 2015. We have to continue our protest
in this regard.
GS, FS, AGS
(HQ)
attended and deliberated in the meeting.
After the above discussions we discussed regarding promotion
order of left out DGMs (Engg.). We requested for issuing
promotions orders for DGM (Engg) of the 49 officers for whom
the CPC has been completed. PGM (Pers) mentioned that the
approval of the competent authority has been received and
tomorrow these 49 DGMs promotion orders will be issued. We
further requested to expedite CPC of 25 left out DGMs also.
PGM (Pers) assured to hold CPC at the earliest and issue of
DGM promotion order of the remaining left out cases.

It
is time for introspection
to Majority Association
AIBSNLEA have been fighting for the
settlement of all the legitimate HR issues and viability of
BSNL since its inception and achieved many mile stones
during the period by getting implemented grant of perks to
executives w.e.f. 01.01.2005, implementation of EPP w.e.f
18.01.2007, filling of all vacant STS Group-'A' level posts
in all discipline by getting clearance from DoT in
Sept.-2006, Transparent Transfer Policy-2008, BSNL
MSRR-2009, Implementation of 2nd PRC
recommendations in BSNL with full 30% fitment benefits in
BSNL, IDA Pension revision for BSNL Pensioners issued on
15.03.2011, Merger of 50% DA with Basic Pay w.e.f.
01.01.2007 effectively amounting to 78.2% for the purpose of
fitment and pay fixation in the revised pay scales,
Withdrawal of 60:40 provision in the Pension Rules 37A
for BSNL employees and payment of 78.2% fitment benefit to
BSNL Pensioners, Withdrawal of MT RR-2008 and 2011, Regularization
of adhoc level executives in all disciplines, filling up
of the vacant DGM/SE posts in all disciplines, 3%
superannuation benefit to BSNL recruited employees, framing
of JTO RR-2014 and conduction of JTO LICE, Creation of PPS
and Sr. PPS posts, regularization of offg. JTOs,
Rs. 22820/-
Pay anomaly resolution by formation of Committee and active
participation in all the struggles of BSNL Unions and
Associations to protect the interest of BSNL etc.
Recently in December-2016 BSNL Management
conducted referendum for majority executive Association
wherein AIBSNLEA by getting 18,400 votes got Support
Association status and thereafter continuously trying to
protect the interest of all the BSNL executives i.e.
whether it is BSNL
recruited or absorbed in BSNL. After referendum under the banner of
United Forum of BSNL Executives Associations one agitation
was launched for the settlement of the burning demands i.e.
pay loss of post 2007 recruited executives, standard pay
scales by replacing E1A by E2, E2A by E3 and subsequent
up-gradation of pay
scales E3 by E4, E4 by E5, E5 by E6 and E6 by E7, 30%
superannuation benefit to BSNL recruited employees, CPSU
Cadre hierarchy as per the Khan Committee report, 3rd
PRC implementation with 15% fitment benefit and pension
revision of BSNL pensioners etc.On the positive assurance
given by the CMD BSNL and Director(HR) the agitation programme
was deferred. But immediately just after the
deferment of the agitation, BSNL management took vindictive actions against the
General Secretaries of AIBSNLEA, AIGETOA and AITEEA by
issuing “Show Cause” notice, deduction of salary of two days
DHARNA organized on 27th and 28th
Dec-2016 by canceling the sanctioned E/L and C/L etc.
Thereafter, on 28th
March-2017, DoT administration issued 'Presidential
Directives' for E1A and E2A intermediary pay scales which
created unrest and accordingly AIBSNALEA and AITEEA
organized protest demonstration on 06.04.2017 wherein Com.
GS, AIGETOA was also requested to sign the notice but he
expressed his inability in signing the agitation notice of
United Forum and mentioned that he is in favour of Joint
struggle of all the Associations and
he along with his
members already actively participated in demonstrations
made on 30/03/2017
by the Majority Association.
Com. GS, AIGETOA was requested by GS
AIBSNLEA and GS, AITEEA for serving a agitation notice under
the banner of United Forum for protest actions, but GS
AIGETOA was perhaps committed to Majority Association
not to go for
agitation on the platform of
United Forum and insisted us also
to come and join with them rather than starting agitation.
And finally they formed Joint Forum and served a notice of
agitation on 10.04.2017 when the GS AIBSNLEA was on LTC at
Port Blair w.e.f. 09.04.2017 to 16.04.2017. I explained to
GS AIGETOA and GS SNEA that at present I am away from CHQ
and after having the talk with our CHQ Office bearers and
Circle Secretaries, I shall be able to take the decision
because just three months before referendum has taken place
wherein lot of hot exchanges have taken place, so
immediate joint struggle is not possible. We have to
convince and mentally prepare our members at base level for
joint struggle then only it would be possible for us to come
together but it was ignored for which the reasons are best
known to them and
finally they served the notice under the banner of
Joint Forum denouncing United Forum. Now, Majority
Associations is alleging support Association to derail all
the HR issues which JF and BSNL Management jointly trying to
resolve.
The fact remains that Jt. Forum in collision with
the BSNL Management is trying to sabotage the important HR
issues which the support Association have
brought on track
i.e. E1-A by E2, E2-A by E3 and subsequent up-gradation of
pay scales E3 by E4, E5 by E6 and E6 by E7 which was
approved by Management Committee of BSNL Board and was sent
to DoT on 06.06.2016 during the struggle of United Forum of AIBSNLEA and AIGETOA.
The majority Association since
beginning tried to sabotage it and after referendum
pressurized the BSNL Management to trunked the proposal
making it half i.e. upto E1-A by E2 and E2-A by E3 only
wherein double fixation in E3 grade, means one executive
will remain in E3 scale for 10 years in violation of EPP
which will invite litigations. Knowing well this fact they
are befooling the executives and trying to harm the interest
of all the executives of BSNL. They pressurized BSNL
Management to withdraw the earlier 06.06.2016 proposal and
halved it up-to E1-A by E2 and E2-A by E3 only. But with the
vigorous efforts of AIBSNLEA, they could not succeed in it
and now BSNL has replied the queries of DoT pleading that
BSNL's earlier proposal of 06.06.2016 may be considered in
two parts. AIBSNLEA will continue to make its efforts for
up-gradation of all thepay scales E1-A to E2, E2-A to E3, E3
to E4, E4 to E5, E5 to E6 and E6 to E7 in the larger
interest of all the executives.
Majority Association is sabotaging the
Khan Committee report on CPSU Cadre Hirarchy
by allowing MT recruitment and allowing post based
promotions up-to STS level
only.
We will strongly oppose such acts of Majority Association.
30% superannuation benefit to BSNL
recruited employees precipitated after
the struggle of United Forum
of AIBSNLEA & AIGETOA only. Majority Association never
contributed in this regard.
PGM(PF) Ms. A. Panda, Committee on pay
anomaly of Rs. 22820/- of JTOs/JAOs post recruited 1.1.2007
was constituted on the demand of AIBSNLEA and AITEEA by CMD
BSNL. But the Majority Association trying to sabotage
the committee report raising huge financial implication to
benefit thousands of executives in the report in line of Estt. Cell pleadings.
Notional pay fixation
issue of JTOs/SDEs(C/E/Arch/TF)
Engineering wings and PA cadrewas initiated
and taken by AIBSNLEA and with it's sincere efforts only
the management committee of BSNL Board has cleared it and
now BSNL board approval is awaited. This issue was hijacked
by majority association. E1+5 advance increment benefit to JTOs/JAOs
could be settled by AIBSNLEA through KCGK Pillai Committee
report. Now JTO(SRD), JAO 2013 batch and PAs case has been
cleared by BSNL Management committee and awaiting
BSNL
board approval.
Diversion of MT
Quota posts to seniority quota posts in Telecom Engg.
could take place first and
then diversion of MT Quota posts to
seniority quota posts of CAOs
cadre got cleared from Management
committee of BSNL board and now waiting for BSNL board
approval.E5 to E6 time bound promotion and EPP
to DGM adhoc by modification in BSNL MS RR got approved from
Management committee of BSNL and now waiting
for BSNL board
approval.AD(O/L) cadre restructuring got
approved from Management committee of BSNL and now DOT
approval is awaited. All the queries
asked by DoT has been replied by BSNL. About 1200 DGM(Engg.) and about 250
DGM(Fin)/ DGM(TF), about 100 SE(Elect./Civil) promotion
could become possible with the untiring efforts of AIBSNLEA.
Sincere efforts are being made to get
expedite CPCs from JTO to SDE, SDE to DE, JAO to AO, AO to
CAO, CAO to DGM(Finance), JTO(C/E) to SDE(C/E), SDE(c) to
EE(C), etc by taking some solution in view of the legal
opinion on Hon'ble High Court Chandigarh judgment and DP&T
guidelines on SC/ST roster implementation.
In this manner AIBSNLEA will continue
to work to safeguard the interest of all the executives of
BSNL.
Majority association after
referendum should honestly concentrate for the settlement of
pending HR issues in the interest of all the executives
instead of doing vote bank politics. Majority association
should not worry on support association affairs. Support
association knows it's responsibility well.
It's a fact that AIBSNLEA got about
18400 plus votes during referendum and got support
association status with the help of AIGETOA and AITEEA.
AIBSNLEA is committed to protect the interest of its members
and supporters. Now AIGETOA leadership preferred to align
with Majority Association under the banner of Joint Forum of
BSNL Executives Associations under the assurance that they
will achieve their demands and no vindictive actions will be
there against them which the GS AIGETOA faced “Show Cause”
notice during the struggle of United Forum of AIBSNLEA,
AIGETOA and AITEEA. Now BSNL Management leaving Majority
Association leaders aside has victimized GS AIGETOA by
serving majority penalty charge sheet. It has caused panic
and now majority Association is desperate to mount pressure
on BSNL Management to withdraw the vindictive
actions
through the agitation of BSNL Unions and Associations on the
pretext of 3rd PRC implementation, whereas, CMD
BSNL with all the Board of Directors met Hon'ble MOS(C)
(I/C) on 16.06.2017 and pleaded for implementation of 3rd
PRC in BSNL with 15% fitment benefit, then where is the need
of going on strike at this juncture. However, we are against
any victimization of Association/Union leaders/members for
organizing legitimate Trade Union activities but they should
be fair in their approach.
Thus, AIBSNLEA never harmed the interest of
anyone and never deviated from its policies under the
pressure like Majority association. AIBSNLEA is using all
the channels to get implemented 3rd PRC with 15%
fitment benefit and pension revision. In case
if any difficulty
is faced in this regard it will not hesitate to take harder
Trade Union action programmes in terms of even indefinite
strike.
AIBSNLEA was never interested to
mention above facts but the majority Association write up on
their website 15.06.2017 has forced us to explain.

Meeting with PGM (Pers.) BSNL Corporate Office, New Delhi :
GS along with CWC member Uttarakhand Shri G S Bisht, Vice
President Chhattisgarh Madam Anuradha and representative
from Rajasthan Circle met PGM (Pers.) regarding the
restructuring case of AD (OL). PGM (Pers.) discussed with
Director (PSU) Shri Pawan Gupta and requested him for early
clearance of the issue. The matter of SLP regarding 2002 R/R
was also discussed during the meeting. BSNL Management has
shown its positive view in both the issues.
Why
AIBSNLEA is not participating in the agitation call given by
the Unions and Associations of BSNL?
A meeting
of BSNL Unions / Associations was held at New Delhi on
02.06.2017 to discuss the implementation of 3rd
PRC with 15% fitment benefit in BSNL. The meeting was
convened by Com. P Abhimanyu GS, BSNLEU and was presided
over by GS, AIBSNLEA.
During
discussions, as GS, AIBSNLEA while expressing our concern on
3rd PRC implementation we demanded that the
particular Clause of the Rule 14 (1) of the BSNL (REA)
Rules, 2013 which prevents executive Association's
participation along with the non-executives unions'
agitation programs i.e. "Further,
the Association will not join hands with the non-executives'
unions for furtherance of their issues and / or participate
in any kind of joint trade union action."should be deleted /
withdrawn.
We
further explained that during the agitation program of
United Forum of BSNL Executives Associations comprising of
AIBSNLEA, AIGETOA and AITEEA, for organizing "DHARNA" on 27th
and 28th December 2016, all the
three General Secretaries
were issued "Show Cause" notice to initiate the disciplinary
action under BSNL CDA conduct rules, wherein violation of
Executives Associations recognition rules was also the
charge against us. The sanctioned E/L and C/L for two days
on 27th & 28th December 2016 of GS,
AIBSNLEA and GS AITEEA were cancelled and a dies-non was
made with two days salary cut. This issue was
immediately brought to the notice of all the
Unions/ Associations and accordingly GS BSNLEU and GS NFTE
met CMD BSNL and Director (HR) BSNL and protested against
this
and
gave a letter of protest but BSNL management did not
withdrawn the "Show Cause" notices and "salary cut" even
after a lapse of five months. We explained that under these
circumstances, where we represent the executives of DGM/DE/CAO/EE/SDE/AO/JTO/JAO
ranks, it is difficult to participate in the strike call
because these executives are the soft target of the
management and AIBSNLEA do not have any recognized channel
to protect these executives. Hence, BSNL Unions/
Associations first take up the issue with BSNL Management
for withdrawal of all the vindictive actions and to stop
such actions against the legitimate Trade Union activities
of the BSNL Unions/ Associations. But unfortunately it was
not given due consideration.
The
Demand of unconditionally withdrawing the BSNL C.O. letter
dated 08.05.2017 banning all trade union activities in BSNL
was related to the ongoing agitation of Joint Forum of BSNL
Executives Associations. In compliance to the Hon'ble
Patiala Court,New Delhi orders it was banned. It cannot be
imposed on all the unions/ associations. Presently the
matter is being defended by the Joint Forum in the Hon'ble
Patiala House Court. This issue should be discussed with
BSNL management by both the majority Unions/Associations. We
impressed upon that making it a demand of "strike" along
with the demand of 3rd PRC implementation is not
correct as it dilutes the main demand.
Moreover,
the Joint Forum of Executive Associations' agitation was
mainly to get replacement of E-1A by E2 and E-2A by E3 only
wherein they are demanding withdrawal of
BSNL's earlier
proposal which was send to DOT on 06.06.2016 during the
agitation and
the demand of United
Forum of
BSNL Executive Associations comprising of AIBSNLEA and
AIGETOA as
(1).
Replacement of E-1A by E-2 and E-2A by E-3 w.e.f. 1.1.2007 and (2). Upgradation 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 w.e.f. 1.1.2007.
This
demand of Joint Forum of BSNL Executives Associations has
trunked the BSNL's complete proposal and has halved the
demand. Hence, AIBSNLEA can't associate with such
association's agitation call.
In
view of the above, AIBSNLEA
will
extend its solidarity support to the agitation call of BSNL
Unions/ Associations on common demand of 3rd PRC
related issues implementation.
We
appreciate the efforts taken by BSNL Management in DOT
for the implementation of 3rd PRC with 15%
fitment benefits for BSNL employees. Now, CMD BSNL along
with all the BSNL Board members are meeting with Hon'ble MOS
(C) )(I/C) on 16.06.2017 at 2:30 PM demanding 3rd
PRC implementation with 15% fitment benefits in BSNL.
In the
meeting conducted by CMD BSNL with the representatives of
BSNL Unions/ Associations on 03.06.2017,
CMD BSNL
categorically told that he will make his best efforts for
the implementations of 3rd PRC in BSNL and in
case he fails in getting implemented 3rd PRC in
BSNL he will resign from the post of CMD BSNL owning the
responsibility. It is really appreciable stand of CMD BSNL. We should trust his efforts and extend our fullest support
to him in his endeavour.
AIBSNLEA
is continuously making its sincere efforts in convincing the
officers in DOT/DPE in person in support of 3rd
PRC implementation in BSNL with 15% fitment benefit. We have
also requested Hon'ble MOS (C) (I/C) and Secretary (T) to
grant us a meeting to represent our views in this regard.
Let us, continue our efforts to ensure implementation of 3rd
PRC with 15% fitment benefit in BSNL.

BSNL was not able to procure the equipment required for its

On the issue of replacement of E1A by E-2, E-2 by E-3 and
E-3 by E-4, E-4 by E-5, E-5 by E-6 and E-6 by E-7, BSNL's

unturned in ensuring to get implemented 3 rd PRC report in
BSNL. He further mentioned that in case he fails to get

AIBSNLEA Stand on Standard Pay Scales issue
and clarification thereof
Dear Comrades,
AIBSNLEA is sincerely trying for the
last so many years for the effective and practical
implementation of Standard pay scales (E2- for JTO/JAO and
Equivalent cadres and E3 – for SDE/AO and Equivalent
cadres). While the discussion came up initially, from
several sources it was evident that without cascading effect
(E3 by E4, E4 by E5, E5 by E6 and E6 by E7) it cannot be
implemented in BSNL. If at all standard pay scale is
implemented without cascading effect, its damn sure that so
many litigations will be filed in the courts due to the
deadly issues of junior/ senior, heavy pay loss to the
executives in the E2A scale, on the wedge of getting E3
compared to the executives at the beginning of E2A Scale and
also holding an executive for 10 years in E3 scale is unlike
any other PSUs. Thus practically the court cases will stop
the implementation of Standard pay scales without cascading
effect like so many promotions of JTO/SDE are stopped
through court intervention. In addition to these many of
senior executives are stagnating for the last couple of
years without any annual increment.
By foreseeing these realties, AIBSNLEA
took a stand since beginning for the implementation of
standard pay scales with cascading effect because we want to
implement this for the benefits of all the BSNL executives.
More over, this implementation of standard pay scales with
cascading effect is doubly benefitting for the young talents
of BSNL working in the non standard pay scales of E1A and
E2A.
Those who want to see that standard
pay scales are not implemented in BSNL at any cost, can only
opt for implementation of standard pay scales without
cascading effect.
During the agitation of United Forum
of AIBSNLEA and AIGETOA ,Management Committee of BSNL Board
deliberated over the issue at length and decided to
recommend up-gradation of pay scales of E3, E4, E5 & E6 for
Sr. SDE, AGM, DGM and SG-DGM and equivalent posts to E4, E5,
E6 & E7 respectively w.e.f. 01.01.2007. Accordingly the
proposal was sent to DoT vide letter number 1-13/2015-PAT (BSNL)
dated 06.06.2016 for approval. But now the Majority
Association is trying to get withdrawn the proposal and want
to restrict the upgradation up to E2 and E3 Scales only.
Hence they are harming the interest of all the BSNL
Executives.
In spite of this, while DOT rejected
the proposal of implementation of standard pay scales with
cascading effect, AIBSNLEA also took a stand with the demand
for implementation of standard pay scales without cascading
effect with an expectation and symptoms that DOT will
approve. DOT did not consider even implementation of E2 and
E3 Pay Scales without cascading effect and approved E-1A and
E-2A intermediatory Pay Scales.
