“Consolidation of Business Areas” and “Merger of SSAs” are not one and the same – BSNLEU once again writes to the Director (HR)..

In it’s letters being issued by the Restructuring Branch of the Corporate Office, the term “Merger of SSAs” is being used the place of the term “Consolidation of Business Areas”. BSNLEU is continuously writing to the Management and insisting that, “Consolidation of Business Areas” and the “Merger of SSAs” are not one and the same. Hence, the term Merger of SSAs should not be used as a substitute to the term “Consolidation of Business Areas”. This is because, if “Consolidation of Business Areas”is accepted as Merger of SSAs, then it will give scope for the Management to transfer the Non-Executives out of the SSAs. This will be a very big danger for the Non-Executives. Today, BSNLEU has written one more letter to the Director (HR) on this issue. Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS and Com.John Verghese, Dy. General Secretary, met Shri Arvind Vadnerkar, Director (HR) today and discussed this issue. The Director (HR) immediately instructed the GM (Restg.) not to use the term Merger of SSAs in the place of Consolidation of Business Areas.
