Deadlock in the renewal of Group Health Insurance Scheme..

Employees are aware that, due to the initiative taken by BSNLEU, a Voluntary Group Health Insurance scheme has been implemented in BSNL. In this connection, the MoU signed between BSNL Management and Oriental Insurance Company last year has expired on 31–05–2024. Many rounds of meetings have been held between BSNL Management, Oriental Insurance Company, and the Recognised Unions and Associations, for the renewal of the MoU. So far, no agreement could be reached. This is because, Oriental Insurance Company has steeply increased the premium amounts. For example, for a policy of Rs.5 lakh, for self, spouse, and three children, the premium amount was Rs.24,222 last year.  However, Oriental Insurance Company has increased this amount to Rs.34,810 for the coming year. All the Recognised Unions and Associations did not accept such a high premium amount. At the same time, no other insurance company, either in public sector or in private sector, is prepared to offer lesser premium amount. From 01-06-2024 onwards, the employees are left with no Group Health Insurance Scheme.  Under these circumstances, the Corporate Office has issued letter to the recognised unions and associations, requesting them to inform within a week, whether any other insurance company is prepared to offer lesser premium amount, then the Oriental Insurance Company’s premium amount. The Corporate Office letter is enclosed for the information of our comrades.

समूह स्वास्थ्य बीमा योजना के नवीनीकरण में गतिरोध।

कर्मचारियों को ज्ञात है कि BSNLEU की पहल पर बीएसएनएल में स्वैच्छिक समूह स्वास्थ्य बीमा योजना लागू की गई है। इस संबंध में बीएसएनएल प्रबंधन और ओरिएंटल इंश्योरेंस कंपनी के बीच पिछले वर्ष हस्ताक्षरित एमओयू की अवधि 31-05-2024 को समाप्त हो गई है। एमओयू के नवीनीकरण के लिए बीएसएनएल प्रबंधन, ओरिएंटल इंश्योरेंस कंपनी और मान्यता प्राप्त यूनियनों और एसोसिएशनों के बीच कई दौर की बैठकें हो चुकी हैं। अभी तक कोई सहमति नहीं बन पाई है। ऐसा इसलिए है, क्योंकि ओरिएंटल इंश्योरेंस कंपनी ने प्रीमियम राशि में भारी वृद्धि कर दी है। उदाहरण के लिए, स्वयं, जीवनसाथी और तीन बच्चों के लिए 5 लाख रुपये की पॉलिसी के लिए पिछले वर्ष प्रीमियम राशि 24,222 रुपये थी। अब ओरिएंटल इंश्योरेंस कंपनी ने आगामी वर्ष के लिए इस राशि को बढ़ाकर 34,810 रुपये कर दिया है। सभी मान्यता प्राप्त यूनियनों और एसोसिएशनों ने इतनी अधिक प्रीमियम राशि स्वीकार नहीं की। वहीं, कोई भी अन्य बीमा कंपनी, चाहे वह सार्वजनिक क्षेत्र की हो या निजी क्षेत्र की, कम प्रीमियम राशि देने को तैयार नहीं है। 01-06-2024 के बाद से कर्मचारियों के पास कोई समूह स्वास्थ्य बीमा योजना नहीं बची है। इन परिस्थितियों में, कॉर्पोरेट कार्यालय ने मान्यता प्राप्त यूनियनों और एसोसिएशनों को पत्र जारी कर अनुरोध किया है कि वे एक सप्ताह के भीतर बताएं कि क्या कोई अन्य बीमा कंपनी ओरिएंटल इंश्योरेंस कंपनी की प्रीमियम राशि से कम प्रीमियम राशि देने को तैयार है। कॉर्पोरेट कार्यालय का पत्र संलग्न है।

BSNLEU has written a letter to the new Hon'ble Minister of Communications, Shri Jyotiraditya Scindia ji today, on the Wage Revision issue. In the letter, BSNLEU has made a fervent appeal to the Hon'ble Minister to settle the wage revision issue without delay. BSNLEU has explained how thousands of employees are suffering enormously, due to the stagnation issue. The Union has also pointed out that, the top managers of the Company, who have come on deputation from the DoT, are enjoying pay revision and revision of allowances, whereas the employees in the lower rung are suffering due to non-settlement of wage revision. Further, BSNLEU has also pointed out in the letter that, the DoT has already given direction to the CMD BSNL in 2018 to sign the wage revision agreement with the recognised trade unions, but the same has not happened due to the negative attitude of the BSNL management.

BSNLEU ने आज नये संचार मंत्री श्री ज्योतिरादित्य सिंधिया जी को वेतन संशोधन मुद्दे पर पत्र लिखा है। पत्र में BSNLEU ने माननीय मंत्री जी से वेतन संशोधन मुद्दे को अविलंब निपटाने की जोरदार अपील की है। BSNLEU ने बताया है कि किस तरह से स्थगन मुद्दे के कारण हजारों कर्मचारियों को भारी परेशानी का सामना करना पड़ रहा है। यूनियन ने यह भी बताया है कि दूरसंचार विभाग से प्रतिनियुक्ति पर आये कंपनी के शीर्ष प्रबंधक वेतन संशोधन और भत्तों के संशोधन का आनंद ले रहे हैं, जबकि निचले स्तर के कर्मचारी वेतन संशोधन का निपटारा न होने के कारण परेशानी झेल रहे हैं। इसके अलावा, BSNLEU ने पत्र में यह भी बताया है कि दूरसंचार विभाग ने वर्ष 2018 में सीएमडी बीएसएनएल को मान्यता प्राप्त ट्रेड यूनियनों के साथ वेतन संशोधन समझौते पर हस्ताक्षर करने के निर्देश दिए थे, लेकिन बीएसएनएल प्रबंधन के नकारात्मक रवैये के कारण ऐसा नहीं हो पाया है।

BSNLEU writes to CMD BSNL on massive disconnection of FTTH connections – requesting immediate intervention.

BSNLEU urgently requests CMD BSNL's intervention to address the significant issues faced by FTTH customers in Maharashtra and other regions. Recently, there has been a surge in complaints regarding BSNL FTTH services, leading to a loss of customers to private service providers. The primary issues reported include frequent disconnections, slow internet speeds, delayed customer support, and billing discrepancies. To resolve these, BSNLEU proposes increasing technical support staff, implementing regular maintenance checks, improving customer support response times, conducting billing audits, and holding monthly meetings with partners to understand and address ground realities.

BSNLEU ने महाराष्ट्र और अन्य क्षेत्रों में एफटीटीएच ग्राहकों द्वारा सामना किए जा रहे महत्वपूर्ण मुद्दों को हल करने के लिए सीएमडी बीएसएनएल के हस्तक्षेप का तत्काल अनुरोध किया है। हाल ही में, बीएसएनएल एफटीटीएच सेवाओं के बारे में शिकायतों में वृद्धि हुई है, जिससे निजी सेवा प्रदाताओं के ग्राहक कम हो रहे हैं। रिपोर्ट की गई प्राथमिक समस्याओं में बार-बार कनेक्शन कटना, धीमी इंटरनेट स्पीड, देरी से ग्राहक सहायता और बिलिंग विसंगतियां शामिल हैं। इनके समाधान के लिए BSNLEU ने तकनीकी सहायता कर्मचारियों की संख्या बढ़ाने, नियमित रखरखाव जांच लागू करने, ग्राहक सहायता प्रतिक्रिया समय में सुधार करने, बिलिंग ऑडिट करने और जमीनी हकीकत को समझने और उसका समाधान करने के लिए भागीदारों के साथ मासिक बैठकें आयोजित करने का प्रस्ताव रखा है।

Don’t treat us as villains – Central Trade Union leaders tell Ms.Nirmala Sitharaman, Honb’le Finance Minister.

Ahead of submitting the Central Budget, Central Trade Union leaders were invited for consultation by Ms.Nirmala Sitharaman, Honb’le Finance Minister. Central Trade Union leaders, including that of CITU, AITUC, HMS, etc., participated in this meeting. The leaders have told the Honb’le Finance Minister that, “trade unions should not be treated as villains. Instead, workers should be seen as heroes and engines of growth”.  In the meeting, the 10 central trade unions, excluding the BMS, have submitted a memorandum insisting settlement of the following major issues of the Indian working class:-

 

  • Instead of burdening the common people with the GST, Corporate Tax, Wealth Tax, etc., to be paid by the rich, should be increased to finance Health, Education, and other social sectors.
  • The 4 New Labour Codes, which are anti-working class, should be repealed. All the 29 Labour Laws, which existed earlier, should be restored.
  • Privatisation of the Public Sector Undertakings should be stopped.
  • All the existing vacancies in the Central Government departments and Public Sector Undertakings must be filled immediately. 
  • Price rise should be controlled.
  • Income Tax rebate for the Salaried Class should be substantially increased.
  • Minimum Support Price (MSP) should be ensured for all Farm Produce.

 

A copy of the memorandum is enclosed, for the kind information of our comrades.
