Downgradation of the Sr.ToAs from 7100 to 6550 pay scale - BSNLEU demands speedy action by the Corporate Office.

BSNLEU is persistently taking up the issue of downgradation of Sr.TOAs from 7100 pay scale to 6550 pay scale. The issue was prominently discussed with the CMD BSNL in the meeting held on 10.07.2018. The CMD BSNL agreed to settle it and thereafter a series of meetings took place between the Director (HR), Sr.GM(Estt.), etc. Prior to our Mysuru All India Conference, an understanding was reached between BSNLEU and the Sr.GM(Estt.), according to which it was agreed to give one more opportunity to the affected Sr.TOAs, for exercising a fresh option under NEPP. This opportunity will help them to rectify whatever wrong option they had given earlier, as a result of which their pay scale was downgraded from 7100 to 6550. However, the Establishment Branch is unnecessarily delaying the issuing of this letter. Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS and Com.Swapan Chakraborty, Dy.GS, met Shri Saurabh Tyagi, Sr.GM(Estt.) yesterday, and expressed their unhappiness over the unwarranted delay. Surprisingly, in yesterday’s meeting, the Sr.GM(Estt.) told that they are now looking into the implications in giving such a fresh option, with regards to the retired employees. The Union representatives insisted that the Corporate Office should take a speedy decision in this regard and that the letter should be issued immediately, as was agreed upon.
