The AUAB decides to oppose the Restructuring proposals of the Management..

The BSNL Management has neither conducted the promotional examinations of the Non-Executives, nor has effected the promotions of the Executives, for a long time. They have been delayed under the pretext of non-completing the restructuring of manpower in BSNL. After wasting one and half years, in the name of doing the exercise of restructuring, the BSNL Management has now come out with anti-employee proposals. According to these, the Sr.TOA cadre has been made a dying cadre. It means, no fresh recruitment will be made in the cadre of Sr.TOA and their posts will be abolished on retirement of  the 4,973 Sr.TOAs working presently. This cannot be accepted. The JE is a vital cadre in the present era of high technology. However, the present strength of the JEs is 7,168 and the Management has increased these posts only up to 7,923. JTO is the main promotional cadre of JEs. The present working strength of the JTOs is 14,536 and this has been cut down to 11,286. This will seriously affect the promotion of the JEs. The number of JAO posts has also been cut down from 2,351 to 1,850. The AUAB has decided to take up these issues very seriously with the Management.
