Approval of pay scales of JTOs and SDEs:
GS along with
AGSs met Director (SU I), Shri. Brijesh Mishra and discussed at length
the issue of approval of pay scales of E1A and E2A as recommended by
BSNL Board. During the course of discussion we were able to gather some
vital inputs that will help us to expedite the settlement of the issue,
Since the issue is extremely important given the fact that the pay
scales of new JTOs and their Time Bound Promotions are directly linked
with the finalisation of the scales, we shall be vigorously pursuing the
case further with BSNL Management and DoT. |

radicle and innovative Pleas to Hon'ble Prime Minister to spot and
induct the best talent from within and outside BSNL to lead BSNL for the
first time sparks off a lively,healthy and unprecendented debate.
Rewiring BSNL:
The call for a professional management team to revamp BSNL could
set a healthy precedent for other PSUs. Editorial in Buisiness Line.
Business
Daily from THE HINDU group of publications.
Thursday, Feb 04, 2010.
If there is one
sector in which Indian policymakers can pride themselves on for having
pioneered reforms that catalysed the overall economy, it is in
telecommunications. Not only has the average Indian become more wired to
the world than was possible just a few years ago, this has also been
accompanied by the healthy growth of private sector Indian companies
catering to an ever-increasing market and a happy adoption of the latest
technologies — the problems with the current 3G spectrum allocation
notwithstanding. Even so, if there is one sector in which the government
may be losing out, it is the telecom industry. For evidence, one need
look no further than the publicly-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited.
Last year, BSNL
recorded a massive drop of 80 per cent in its 2008-09 profits in a year
that saw private companies romp home on the back of record new
subscriptions. That fall in profits, according to the firm, was on
account of a huge rise in employee costs following the Pay Commission
awards but it was the third year of declining profits; not surprisingly
its market share, particularly in the mobile segment, has fallen. What
went wrong with the public sector undertaking that came close to
occupying the top slot in the mobile segment? Last year, when the firm
decided to disinvest to raise cash, its unions protested; currently it
is facing a central government inquiry on equipment procuring; the
present CMD, who worked some magic at MTNL earlier, will have a tough
time with a huge employee overload and the disadvantages of having to
function within the framework of a public sector entity in a fiercely
competitive market. But help may be at hand from unexpected quarters; a
section of employees has urged the government to bring in a professional
management team from outside the public sector. This is an unprecedented
sentiment, considering that the petition indicates dissatisfaction with
the present management and calls for a merit-based approach to
promotions — in itself a radical departure from the general opinion of
most public sector employees and executives.
Just how deep the
malaise runs in BSNL can be gauged by the discontent with a “redundant
performance mechanism” and the need to replace it with a merit-based
approach. The Prime Minister's Office, currently saddled with the mess,
should consider the idea very seriously indeed if it wants BSNL to make
up for lost ground in the current market. Doing that could set a healthy
precedent for other PSUs. |

Pay
anomaly of JTOs of 2005 batch: In continuation to series of earlier discussions and
regular correspondence that we have had with Director(HRD) on the
important issue of removing the pay anomaly of the JTOs of 2005 year on
justified and genuine grounds by extending the benefit of 30% fitment to
all the JTOs of 2005 year of recruitment, regardless of their date of
joining, GS has clearly brought out that due to this anomaly the
difference in basic pay as on 01.1.2007 is Rs 5220/- , and even if the
E1A pay scale is approved, the difference in basic pay will be Rs.
2770/- . The losers are further to suffer
the ignominy of a recurring two-year lag in their Time Bound Promotions
throughout their career also.
<<
Letter>>
In continuation to our several discussions with DIR(HR) and GM(Estt) on
this issue, GS along with AGSs met GM(EF), Smt. Aruntadi Panda, and
discussed the issue in detail. We pleaded with her to resolve the
genuine issue at the earliest and take a positive stand on the issue.
Further we discussed and suggested three to four workable proposals by
which the issue can be resolved in totality by extending the benefit of
30% fitment to all the JTOs of 2005 year of recruitment.
Issues related to JTOs recruited as Dept outsider from TTA Cadre:
In the meeting with
GM(EF), Smt. Aruntadi Panda, we discussed this issue further. On the
basis of our earlier meetings and discussions with GM(Estt) on the
issue, the file has moved to GM(EF). The issues include a) counting of
past service as TTA for all the purposes including pension, b)
TA/DA and salary during training period, c) accounting earlier E/L & HPL
etc. we will pursue the matter further. |

Editorial
January'10
END OF THE ROAD- our bread earner enters
internecine Red zone.
(Credibility and
reputation of our beloved Company nosedives, hits rock bottom and is at
its lowest ever ebb. Worst and unabated political and bureaucratic
interference, continuous market drubbing, inefficiency of highest order
at all the levels, growing indiscipline, total lack of accountability
and leadership, unprecedented indecisiveness, mismanagement, rampant
corruption and complete lack of transparency plague the Company.)
We are in the RED
ZONE. Our beloved Company, our sole bread earner, is expected to post
staggering loss this fiscal year for the first time. The great pangs of
pain and agony await us at our doorsteps. It is undoubtedly going to be
an agonizing and distressing journey from now onwards. How do we
henceforth traverse our future journey full of thorns is something that
has no doctored prescription. In the highly crowded and competitive
market how do we go about?
The journey is in no
way going to be different from the way a patient suffering from terminal
illness getting intermittent heavy doses of powerful pain killers which
relieves the pain temporarily. Have we now reconciled to get doses of
pain killers from time to time or even now we have some strength left to
look forward towards undergoing rarest of rare surgery that takes us out
from terminal illness from which people rarely come out. People with
extraordinary determination and rare toughness of mind do survive even
from terminal illness. Are we that stuff? Only future will tell. So far,
we have not demonstrated anything of that kind. The tragedy is that we
became the victims of terminal disease even though the disease markedly
showed its signs as early as five years before. We ignored and neglected
the early and clear symptoms of terminal disease invading and crippling
us. Probably we allowed it to paralyze us.
As GS of this
Association, I have no hesitation in acknowledging my complete personal
failure in not being able to lead successfully in averting this grave
and deadly situation and live up to the trust, confidence and
expectations reposed by you in us. Leadership receives accolades as well
as brickbats. And today, I take your brickbats for the present virtually
irretrievable debacle in the spirit in which it has to taken. For the
first time bewilderment and despondency have overtaken us, and we really
do not know what to do, where to go, how to go. Was it our failure to
lead you in the right direction with the right strategy or the failure
to get committed support from the grass root to implement our strategy
is something debatable and we leave it to you to analyze and judge for
you are in the best position to judge.
How do we fulfill
our responsibility towards our family, particularly the younger
generation within us, who have a long way to go in the company, our
Country (because BSNL is being seen as an institution in which the hopes
of millions of our Countrymen to get reasonably good service at
affordable prices are enbedded) shall be multi million dollar question
because getting monthly pay packets shall be a trying, tiring and an
arduous task for us, let alone getting our cadre upliftment which shall
be nightmares. Nevertheless, all said and done, despite our big failure
in not being able to prevent onset of present grave crisis, we
shall resolutely go ahead and leave no stone unturned during the brief
period we have at hand (because this my concluding term) to see whether
we can succeed in staging what would undoubtedly be a remarkably
miraculous come back. |

Meeting
with GM(Pers):
GS along with AGSs met
GM(Pers) and discussed 1) Regularization of STS officers – We told GM(P)
that Management has to take a final decision on this issue immediately
as hundreds of officers are retiring without getting the eligible
promotion. We are unable to contain the resentment of our members on
this important issue. 2) Adhoc promotion to JAG – BSNL has filed
appropriate reply in Jaipur CAT on the lines of the reply it had filed
in Allahabad CAT regarding holding of examination for recruitment of
DGMs. The case at Jaipur CAT is coming up for hearing on 11th
Feb.,10.
However,
Comrades start making hectic Country wide Organizational preparations to
defeat the sinister moves of the BSNL Management to stall our functional
career growth on flimsy and baseless grounds. The hold up is a motivated
one, stemming mainly from narrow ITS fraternal considerations. We
thought that good sense will prevail and BSNL Management will act in
positive manner to settle three major issues i.e promotion to Adhoc JAG,
regularization of about 2500 adoc STS and promotion of about 2500 TES Gr
B to adhoc STS.
In the name of so called legal stalemate, Management is
delaying issuing of orders, thus depriving hundreds and hundreds of our
Comrades retiring every month of their promotion to JAG, regularization
to STS and Adhoc promotion to STS. While promotion of unabsorbed ITS
officers is continuing unhindered against the posts of BSNL, we being
part and parcel of BSNL are being deprived of functional career
upliftment in every possible manner in the name of legal stalemate. We
have to get ready to fully expose this conspiracy and deliberate
attempts to settle scores with us because of our tough stand on issues
of financial viability of BSNL, holding the Management completely
responsible for the present mess. Get ready for a prolonged
organizational struggle to secure justice. Struggle which we wanted to
avert because of the precarious situation in which BSNL is in at the
moment is being forced on us by unreasonable and sinister designs of BSL
management. We stand committed to defeat and expose this discriminatory
and prejudiced stand of BSNL management. |

Meeting
with GM(CA):
GS along with AGSs met GM(CA) and discussed the pension contribution of
Employees absorbed in BSNL. The recent order on pension contribution is
silent on the pension contribution to be done by BSNL. On implementation
of VI pay commission report, FR 116/117 is modified to the extent that
now the pension contribution has to be done on actual basic pay for the
Central Govt. Employees, instead of on the maximum. BSNL is of the
opinion that the same rule is applicable for BSNL also and accordingly,
CMD BSNL has taken up the matter with Member (Fin), DoT. It is learnt
that since DoT is not in a position to give a clarification on its own,
it has referred the matter to Dept. of Pension & pension welfare. |

What a commendable effort of Bihar Comrades - a truly unbelievable and
highly inspiring one.
Hats off to S. C. Mishra, CGM Bihar
Telecom Circle and his entire team of determined and committed BSNL in
Bihar for achieving this glorious and unbelievable feat. Bihar Circle is
a glaring example of what can be accomplished through hard work,
determination and team work. Bihar Circle is a model of excellence and a
manifestation of how hard work, dedication and devotion pull off
miracles and defeat powerful private operators. What is even more
fantastic is that Bihar Circle is all set to overtake Vodafone in the
Month of Jan.,10, even though the final data is yet to come. What a
performance - we are left dumb founded and spell bound in conveying our
feelings to the heroes of Bihar Circle and the great leader, rather
crusader, S.C.Mishra. What an astonishing and totally incredible feat is
achieved.
S.C.Mishra and the entire telecom fraternity of BSNL Bihar undoubtedly
deserve loudest of applause, standing ovation and a red carpet
reception.
We believe all shut eyes in all other
parts of BSNL in the Country will open at this miraculous performance of
Bihar, and excuses and alibi in not being able to deliver shall
disappear once for all and pave the way towards inching forward in a
confident, determined and tough manner to accomplish the unparalleled
achievements of dearest stalwarts of Bihar. Heroes of Bihar, don’t look
back, keep on going from strength to strength, occupy a highly envious
and sustained position in telecom and keep on reminding and inspiring us
to come close to you.
Your par
excellence performance has come at the right time to give us badly
needed confidence and motivation to continue our struggle and realize
our goal. We are confident of not letting you down and living up to your
high expectations.
