BSNLEU is repeatedly writing to the Management stating that, there is no transparency in the nomination of coaches for various sports meets. In 2011, the Admn. Branch of the Corporate Office called for nominations for coaches. In that letter, it is categorically mentioned that only “qualified coaches” will be given preference. However, the selected list of coaches has never been circulated. In the meanwhile, qualified coaches are being ignored and coaches for sports meets are being nominated on the basis of “pick and choose” method. BSNLEU has already written to the PGM (Admn.), BSNL CO., in this regard. Since no action has been taken, BSNLEU has written letter to the Director (HR) today on this matter.

It is surprising to note that, the CGM, Kerala circle, has issued order that, all the Non-Executives should mark their attendance only through the Mobile App w.e.f. 01.11.2024. A good number of the Non-Executives are not having smart phone, which is necessary for downloading the Mobile App. Under these circumstances, it is nothing but, harassment of the Non-Executives by the CGM, Kerala circle. BSNLEU has opposed this and has written letter to the Director (HR) today, requesting for his intervention. BSNLEU has told the Director (HR) that, the Non-Executives should not be compelled to mark attendance through the Mobile App, unless the Non-Executives are also provided with mobile handset, like the Executives.

The Management has done a very big injustice to the candidates of Punjab circle, who appeared in the JTO LICEs held for the Vacancy Years of 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18. Initially, the results were not declared due to the pendency of a court case. The court case was withdrawn on 11.10.2023. Thereafter, Management announced the results of only the JTO LICE conducted for 2014-15. Shockingly, the Management, vide it’s letter dated 20.02.2024, had cancelled the JTO LICEs held for the vacancy years of 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18. The Management says that, there are no vacancies for promoting the qualified candidates, since a large number of JTO posts have already been abolished under the Restructuring scheme. This is a very big injustice. When the successful candidates of all other circles have already promoted as JTOs, why the candidates of Punjab circle alone should be punished, for no fault of theirs. Hence, BSNLEU is continuously demanding that the results of the JTO LICEs held in Punjab circle for the vacancy years 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18 should be immediately declared and that the successful candidates should be promoted by way of creating supernumerary posts. Today, once again, BSNLEU has written letter to the CMD BSNL, insisting for the settlement of the issue.
