Settle Wage Revision immediately - BSNLEU and NFTE write detailed joint letter to the new CMD BSNL.

The General Secretaries of BSNLEU and NFTE have written a detailed joint letter to the new CMD BSNL today, on the issue of Wage Revision. It is pointed out in this letter that, agreement was reached between the Recognised Unions and the Management on the new pay scales of the Non-Executives, in the Joint Wage Negotiating Committee meeting held on 27-07-2018. However, it is pointed out that, the Management has violated this agreement and is trying to impose shorter pay scales on the Non-Executives, which will perpetuate the problem of stagnation and will also create problems in future Wage Revisions. It is also pointed out that Shri Manoj Sinha ji, Hon’ble Minister of State for Communications and Ms.Aruna Sundararajan, Secretary Telecom, have given commitments for an early settlement of the Wage Revision of the Non-Executives. BSNLEU and NFTE have demanded in the letter that, these commitments should be honoured, by implementing the Wage Revision immediately. Both the unions have also pointed out that, the allowances of BSNL employees are not revised for almost quarter of a century and requested the CMD BSNL that revision of allowances should also be considered.
