Unnecessary harassment at OA level on the issue of vacation of union accommodation due to the order issued by Corporate Office.

It has come to the notice of CHQ that, in some circles, the administration at the OA/BA level is creating trouble regarding the vacation of union accommodation already allotted to the Recognised Union at the OA level. The management at field level, has taken this opportunity due to the order issued by the Corporate Office. However, in practice, they are misinterpreting the order, as the Corporate Office has not issued any direction to vacate the union accommodation at the OA level. Today, Com. Animesh Mitra, GS, BSNLEU, discussed the matter with the management at the Corporate Office. It has been clarified by the officers at the Corporate Office that they had only sought information from the field level regarding the status of the union accommodation allotted by the authority at the OA/BA level. Circle Secretaries are requested to take up the issue with the concerned CGMs so that such unnecessary harassment can be avoided. The letter issued by the Corporate Office is attached herewith.
