BSNLEU’s objection for the usage of the term “merger of SSA” accepted by the Corporate Office – letter issued by the Corporate Office correcting it’s mistake.

In certain letters issued in connection with consolidation of Business Area, the Corporate Office mistakenly use the word “merger”. This is very dangerous for the Non-Executives. If consolidation of Business Area is taken as merger of SSAs, then the danger of the Non-Executives being transferred out of their SSAs will arise. Hence, right from the beginning, whenever the Corporate Office use the word “merger”, immediately BSNLEU has intervened and has corrected that. Once again, in the letter issued on 09.02.2022, the Corporate Office has used the words “merger / de-merger of Business Areas”. Immediately, on 10.02.2022, BSNLEU wrote letter to the Director (HR), strongly objecting the usage of the word “merger / de-merger”. This issue was discussed by Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS, with Shri Surajit Mandol, GM(CA & ERP) on 21.04.2022. The GM (CA & ERP) replied that the Corporate Office has already corrected their mistake. In the letter issued on 04.03.2022, the Corporate Office has stated that the term “consolidation of Business Areas” should be used wherever the term “merger / de-merger of Business Areas” is used. A copy of the Corporate Office letter was handed over to the General Secretary by the GM (CA & ERP). Copy of the letter is enclosed.
