BSNLEU has written letter to the CMD BSNL, demanding to immediately convene the meeting of the Joint Wage Negotiating Committee. The Wage Negotiating Committee meeting was last held on 10.06.2022. Thereafter, no meeting is held. Now, the 9^th Membership Verification is already over, based on which BSNLEU has been recognised as the Main Recognised Union and NFTE has been recognised as the 2^ndRecognised Union. Hence, BSNLEU has demanded that, the Wage Negotiating Committee meeting should immediately be held with the Recognised Unions. The Joint Wage Negotiating Committee Chairman has already been transferred out of the Corporate Office and is posted as the CGM of NTR circle. Hence, BSNLEU has demanded that a new Chairman should be appointed from among the officers working in the Corporate Office.

Jio and Airtel are procuring their equipments from Nokia, Ericsson and Samsung. However, BSNL is being pressurised by the government to procure equipments only from Indian companies and not from global vendors. No one is able to tell when TCS will supply 4G equipments to BSNL. Due to the inordinate delay in BSNL’s 4G launching, lakhs of customers are leaving BSNL. Hence, BSNLEU has once again written to the Hon’ble Minister of Communications, demanding that BSNL should be allowed to procure equipments from global vendors, at par with the private telecom companies.

DR JEs who have completed 5 years of service, are entitled for transfer under Rule 8 of BSNL Transfer Policy. However, in most of the circles, Rule 8 transfers are being denied to the DR JEs. This problem is being actively taken up by BSNLEU. Especially, this problem is very acute in NE-1 and NE-2 circles. As per the Corporate Office orders, both NE-1 and NE-2 circles are termed and “surplus circles”. As such, the requests for transfer under Rule 8 of the DR JEs of both these circles should be considered. However, the NE-1 and NE-2 circle administrations are wantonly denying these transfers. BSNLEU is continuously taking up this issue with the Director (HR) and the PGM(Estt.), BSNL CO. Today, once again BSNLEU has written to the Director (HR), on this issue. Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS, telephonically discussed this issue with Shri Saurabh Tyagi, PGM(Estt.) and has demanded the intervention of the Corporate Office. The PGM(Estt.) has assured to take necessary action.

BSNLEU has continuously been demanding that all the LICEs of the Non-Executives should be conducted without delay. However, in the name of Restructuring, Management delayed these LICEs.

BSNLEU has written to the Director (HR) today, demanding to immediately issue notification for holding the TT LICE.

Notification had been issued for holding the JE LICE on 16.10.2022. However, this JE LICE has been postponed, without mentioning the next date of the exam. This has created a sense of uncertainty among the JE LICE candidates. Hence, BSNLEU has written to the Director (HR) today, demanding to immediately notify the next date of the JE LICE.

95 JTO posts, belonging to the ST category, are lying unfilled for the past so many years, in Punjab circle. As per the DoP&T Rules, if any SC/ST post is unfilled, even after carrying forward the posts for three Recruitment Years, then the posts should be dereserved and filled up with candidates belonging to Other Communities. In Punjab circle, the above stated DoP&T order has not been implemented and the 95 unfilled ST posts have not been filled up with candidates belonging to Other Communities. Hence, BSNLEU has written to the Director (HR) to immediately dereserve these 95 JTO posts and fill them up with candidates belonging to Other Communities.
