Com.P.Abhimanyu, met Ms.Sujata Ray, Director(HR) today and discussed certain important issues being pursued by BSNLEU. The details of the discussion are as follows:-

1. Review of JE LICE results.

In view of the very poor results, BSNLEU has been continuously insisting upon the Corporate Management, for giving relaxation to the candidates who appeared in the JE LICE held in January. This issue was raised in the last National Council meeting also, for which Director (HR) responded positively. It appears that the Management has taken some action in this, but final decision has not been taken. This issue was discussed by the GS with the Director (HR) in today’s meeting. She reported that the GM (Rectt.) has gone for training and a final decision will be taken on her return in the first week of September.

2. Re-engagement of the retrenched contract workers.

As a cost-cutting measure, the Corporate Office has directed retrenchment of contract workers to the extent of 30%. This instruction has already been implemented in most of the circles and contract workers have been retrenched. In the meanwhile, BSNLEU has demanded that these retrenched contract workers could be re-engaged and could be gainfully utilised in the marketing. This issue has been discussed with the CMD BSNL, who responded positively. This issue was again discussed with the Director (HR) in today’s meeting. The Director (HR) assured that needful action would be taken.

3. Non-implementation of Corporate Office orders on remittance of CHQ quota.

Corporate Office has already issued letters to all the Chief General Managers, for deduction of BSNLEU’s subscription at the enhanced rate, and also that the CHQ quota should be directly sent to the CHQ. Still, this has not been implemented in some of the circles. This issue was raised with the Director (HR) in today’s meeting. She directed the GM(SR) to speak with the GM (HRs) of such of those circles, for taking necessary corrective measures.

4. Settlement of downgradation of the Sr.TOAs from 7100 pay scale to 6500 pay scale.

This issue was discussed with the CMD BSNL in the meeting held on 10.07.2018. The CMD BSNL has assured to settle this issue. Consequently, the Establishment Branch of the Corporate Office is taking needful steps for the final settlement of the issue. In today’s meeting, the GS requested the Director (HR) to issue early orders to bring the sufferings of the affected Sr.TOAs to an end. The Director (HR) assured that needful action would be taken expeditiously.

As per the decision of the AUAB, efforts are being taken to organise a massive rally at New Delhi tomorrow. The rally will start from the Eastern Court at 13:00 hrs. and will march on to the Sanchar Bhawan. Apart from the employees of NTR circle and Corporate Office, BSNLEU has taken efforts to mobilise the comrades of UP(West), Haryana and Rajasthan for this rally.

The process of giving new designations to all the cadres in BSNL is almost completed. However, new designations for 19 cadres, in the pay scales of NE-1, NE-2 and NE-3 are recommended by the Redesignation Committee, but the same was not approved by the Management Committee of BSNL. Hence, the Redesignation Committee has to meet once again, to finalise the new designations for these 19 cadres. Under these circumstances, the Management issued notification for holding a meeting of the Redesignation Committee on 30.01.2019. However, the General Secretaries of the Recognised Unions are not consulted in fixing this date. Since, both the General Secretaries of the Recognised Unions will be out of Delhi on 30.01.2019, they requested the GM (Restg.) to hold the meeting on 06.02.2019. The Management has cancelled the notice issued for 30.01.2019. No new date is fixed. The cadres whose new designations are not yet finalised are as follows:-  

Ayah, Bearer, Beldar, Chowkidar, Cleaner, Duftary, Farash, Khalasi, Lady Chowkidar, Mali, Office Peon, Peon, Safaiwala, Shramik, Sweeper, Washboy, Dish Cleaner, Waterman, Gateman.

We have already informed that, yesterday, the Hon'ble Madras High Court has extended the stay upto 12-09-2019, granted to the BSNL Corporate Office's letter dated 02-07-2019, vide which the Management had banned even demonstrations and dharnas till the completion of 8th Membership Verification. 

However, once again, the BSNL advocate made an hectic effort today, to vacate the stay. Accompanied by BSNL officers, the BSNL advocate mentioned before the Hon'ble judge of the Hon'ble Madras High Court today, that 12-09-2019 is too long a period, and that the case should be heard at least on 03-09-2019. However, the Hon'ble judge rejected it. Thus, one more attempt made by the BSNL Management has failed in the Hon'ble Madras High Court.
