Sr. GM (Estt.)

The BSNL Corporate Office has already written to the DPE, requesting to inform the IDA rates, that have become due to the Non- Executives of BSNL. The President and GS discussed this issue today. Shri Saurab Tyagi, Sr. GM (Estt.) replied that the DPE has not informed the IDA rates so far. The leaders requested him to seriously pursue this matter with the DPE.

He stated that, the matter is being dealt with speedily. Both the leaders requested to complete the work by the end of July.

GM (Trng.)

Accepting the demand of BSNLEU, yesterday, the Corporate Office issued letter, for the training of the two JAO candidates of Punjab circle. The President and GS, met Shri S.P. Singh, GM (Trng.) and thanked him for the quick action taken by him. The leaders also requested to ensure that the Corporate Office letter on this matter is implemented immediately by the NATFM.

GM (CBB)

BSNLEU has already written to the GM (CBB), demanding to renew the MoU signed with the Canara Bank. The President and GS met shri P.C. Bhatt, GM (CBB) and discussed this issue. The GM (CBB) replied that, he has already written to the Corporate Office of the Canara Bank, but, they have not responded so far. Both the leaders requested him to remind the Corporate Office of the Canara Bank on this matter.

In Punjab circle, two candidates have been declared successful in the review of the JAO results for the SC/ST candidates. However, they were not sent for training for a long time. BSNLEU took up this issue and wrote to the GM (Trg.), BSNL Corporate Office. The Corporate Office has taken prompt action for sending both the candidates for JAO training. Letter has been issued directing the NATFM to start the training of these candidates.

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.
