14-06-2017 A meeting of BSNL Unions /
Associations was held at New Delhi on 02.06.2017 to
discuss the implementation of 3rd PRC with 15% fitment benefit in
BSNL. The meeting was convened by Com. P Abhimanyu
GS, BSNLEU and was presided over by GS, AIBSNLEA. During discussions, as GS, AIBSNLEA while expressing our
concern on 3rd PRC
implementation we demanded that the particular Clause of the Rule 14 (1) of
the BSNL (REA) Rules, 2013 which prevents executive Association's
participation along with the non-executives unions' agitation programs i.e. "Further, the Association will not
join hands with the non-executives' unions for furtherance of their issues
and / or participate in any kind of joint trade union action." should be deleted / withdrawn. We further explained that during the agitation
program of United Forum of BSNL Executives Associations comprising of
AIBSNLEA, AIGETOA and AITEEA, for organizing "DHARNA" on 27th and 28th December 2016, all the three General Secretaries were
issued "Show Cause" notice to initiate the disciplinary action
under BSNL CDA conduct rules, wherein violation of Executives Associations recognition
rules was also the charge against us. The sanctioned E/L and C/L for two days on 27th & 28thDecember 2016
of GS, AIBSNLEA and GS AITEEA were cancelled and a dies-non was made with two
days salary cut. This issue was immediately brought to the notice of all the
Unions/ Associations and accordingly GS BSNLEU and GS NFTE met CMD BSNL and
Director (HR) BSNL and protested against this and gave a letter of protest but
BSNL management did not withdrawn the "Show Cause" notices and
"salary cut" even after a lapse of five months. We explained that
under these circumstances, where we represent the executives of
DGM/DE/CAO/EE/SDE/AO/JTO/JAO ranks, it is difficult to participate in the
strike call because these executives are the soft target of the management
and AIBSNLEA do not have any recognized channel to protect these executives.
Hence, BSNL Unions/ Associations first take up the issue with BSNL management
for withdrawal of all the vindictive actions and to stop
such actions against the legitimate Trade Union activities of the BSNL
Unions/ Associations. But unfortunately it
was not given due consideration. The Demand of unconditionally
withdrawing the BSNL C.O. letter dated 08.05.2017 banning all trade union
activities in BSNL was related to the ongoing agitation of Joint Forum of
BSNL Executives Associations. In compliance to the Hon'ble
Patiala Court New Delhi orders it was banned. It cannot be imposed on all the unions/ associations.
Presently the matter is being defended by the Joint Forum
in the Hon'ble Patiala House Court. This issue should be discussed with BSNL management by both the
majority Unions/Associations. We impressed upon that making it a
demand of "strike" along with the demand of 3rd PRC implementation is not correct as
it dilutes the main demand. Moreover, the Joint Forum of Executive Associations'
agitation was mainly to get replacement of E-1A by E2 and E-2A by E3 only
wherein they are demanding withdrawal of BSNL's earlier proposal which was
send to DOT on 06.06.2016 during the agitation and the demand of United Forum of BSNL Executive Associations
comprising of AIBSNLEA and AIGETOA as 1. Replacement of E-1A by E-2 and
E-2A by E-2 and E-2 by E-3 pay scales w.e.f.
1.1.2007 and 2 Upgradation
of subsequent pay scales E-2 by E-4, E-4 by E-5, E-5 by E-6 and E-6 by E-7 w.e.f. 1.1.2007. This demand of Joint Forum of BSNL
Executives Associations has trunked the BSNL's complete proposal and has
halved the demand. Hence, AIBSNLEA can't associate
with such association's agitation call. In view of the above, AIBSNLEA will extend its solidarity support to the
agitation call of BSNL Unions/ Associations on common demand of 3rd PRC related issues implementation. We appreciate the efforts taken by
BSNL Management in DOT for the implementation
of 3rd PRC with 15%
fitment benefits for BSNL employees. Now, CMD BSNL along with all the BSNL
Board members are meeting with Hon'ble MOS (C) )(I/C) on 16.06.2017 at 2:30 PM demanding 3rd PRC implementation with 15% fitment
benefits in BSNL. In the meeting conducted by CMD BSNL
with the representatives of BSNL Unions/ Associations on 03.06.2017, CMD BSNL
categorically told that he will make his best efforts for the implementations
of 3rdPRC in BSNL and in case he fails in getting implemented 3rd PRC in BSNL
he will resign from the post of CMD BSNL owning the responsibility. It is really appreciable stand of CMD BSNL. We should trust his
efforts and extend our fullest support to him in his endeavor. AIBSNLEA is continuously making its sincere efforts
in convincing the officers in DOT/DPE in person in support of 3rd PRC implementation in BSNL with 15%
fitment benefit. We have also requested Hon'ble
MOS (C) (I/C) and Secretary (T) to grant us a meeting to represent our views in
this regard. Let us, continue our efforts to ensure implementation of
3rd PRC with 15%
fitment benefit in BSNL. |
