Meeting between BSNLEU and Director (HR).

1. Declaration of the Special JTO LICE results.

The details of the discussion on this issue are already published in the website.

2. Amendments made to Rule 9 – non-implementation of CMD BSNL’s assurance.

The BSNL Management had arbitrarily made amendments to Rule 9 (temporary transfer) of BSNL Transfer Policy. As a result, it has become extremely difficult for the young employees to get temporary transfer. This issue was discussed with the CMD BSNL and he has assured to form a Joint Committee of Management and the Unions to review the amendments. However, the Joint Committee of Management and the Unions has not been formed. In today’s meeting, BSNLEU strongly demanded the immediate formation of the Joint Committee, for reviewing the arbitrary amendments done to Rule 9 of BSNL Transfer Policy.  

3. Holding of JTO LICE for JEs of Civil & Electrical wings – non-implementation of the National Council decision.

Agreement has been reached in the National Council many years ago, for holding a JTO LICE for the JEs (erstwhile draftsman) of Civil & Electrical wings. However, this decision of the National Council is not implemented by the Management. BSNLEU is repeatedly raising this issue. In today’s meeting also BSNLEU demanded the Director (HR) to ensure early implementation of the decision of the National Council.

4. Non-holding of the National Council meeting.

It is going to be 4 months since the results of the 9^th Membership Verification were declared. However, the Management has not yet reconstituted the National Council. BSNLEU has already given it’s nominations for the Staff Side of the National Council. In today’s meeting, BSNLEU expressed it’s extreme dissatisfaction over the Management’s inaction in reconstituting the National Council and holding of it’s meeting.

5. Quarters to the CHQ of BSNLEU – exemption from the CROP.

Being the Main Recognised Union, BSNLEU is allotted with a Type-IV quarters at New Delhi. So far, BSNLEU has been paying only licence fee, in accordance with the Government Rulings. However, recently, the BSNL Management has stated that BSNL should pay rent for the quarters as per the CROP. According to this, the rent comes to Rs.25,000/- per month. BSNLEU has already represented to the CMD BSNL, requesting to exempt BSNLEU from CROP. The issue is discussed with the Director (HR) today.
