30 DEC 16:  Brain Storming Session and New Year Welcome Function at Circle Office Mumbai: Brain Storming Session, Part II was held in second Floor Conference Hall at 1500 hrs on 29/12/2016 in the presence of representatives of recognised Unions NFTE BSNL/BSNLEU, SEWA, Representative Association SNEA and Support Association AIBSNLEA along with DGM & above officers working in the Circle Office Mumbai.

Shri. Peeyush Khare, CGMT MH in the opening remark conveyed Best wishes for new year 2017 & gave a speech highlighting the issues of our company & opened the subject "Mean Time To Repair" (MTTR) for discussion. He also mentioned the present average  MTTR is above  50 Hrs & appealed that it should be reduced to 20 Hrs by taking all out efforts by the field officers. CGMT MH elaborated steps being taken by BSNL management for reducing MTRR and appealed all to present to pass on message to grass root level. He mentioned that responsibility of line faults comes to PM, JE/JTO and maximum up to SDE level and responsibility of faults of OCLAN etc comes to DE /AGM level. All other officers have to support these teams for restoration of faults by planning and supplying resources and if everybody is beyond fault then who will monitor the planning. He stressed for completion of NOFN works CGMT further informed that one proposal is being given final shape wherein BSNL will supply equipment’s and stores and franchises, business partners/Societies can come forward for its installation and maintained of the exchanges with revenue sharing of 10 to 20 % as per the finalisation of the proposal/MoU. CGMT specifically mentioned to forget about local cable network as in days to come it is difficult to maintain and improve quality of services. He further stressed that there will not be supply of additional PIJF cables which gives maximum 2 mbps bandwidth, and one has to keep focus on higher bandwidth through fibre and efforts may be taken to give higher speed to customer. By questioning all present in the hall who have opted for services of private operators specifically of RJIO Free services, he also stressed that there is nothing wrong in using services of other operators to check & compare quality. He also elaborated efforts taken by his office by calling all officers responsible for updating asset records in Circle Office Mumbai and efforts for completion of works under Samudra Manthana.  He appealed all to come forward and share their views and suggestions on reduction of “Mean Time To Repair" (MTTR).

Com. V.B. Kokate, CS SNEA MH in his speech after the Best wishes for New Year & other formalities raised the following issues faced by the Executives in the field.

1.     Delay for approval of Temporary Advances: CS informed that, SNEA had meeting with Mrs. Kolhe DGM CSC, talk to GM Finance followed 2-3 times reminder SMS & also brought to the notice of CGMT MH but still the issue is not resolved & many SSAs are facing the difficulty & Executives are spending money from their pocket for maintenance & other activities. CGMT MH replied about issue of shortage of fund but CS SNEA immediately reacted & informed that previously there was an issue of fund but in present situation funds are available & the main hurdle is the " Change of Procedure" for approval of Temporary Advances. CGMT MH, directed to new GM Finance in this regard & hope that the issue will be resolved once for all. In continuation of this, we informed that, there is a difficulty for withdrawal of cash from the Bank due to the withdrawal limit of Rs. 2000.00.  CGMT MH informed, we should go for cashless transactions. We pointed out filed difficulties and how to make the payments to the labour & misc. work are to be done. CS SNEA requested CGMT that the Mumbai Bank extended the facility of withdrawal of money by filling the withdrawal slip to the Officers working in the Circle Office Mumbai & same can be extended to all SSAs after necessary dialogue with the Bank authorities at appropriate level. CGMT MH again insisted for cashless transactions but we continued our stand & finally CGMT informed that they will work on it.

2.     Shortage of CLIPs & other store material in the field units: CS SNEA conveyed the actual facts that the Field Officers are not able to give a new CLIP instrument to NTC customers. The reason behind that the 45000 CLIPs instruments are diverted to other Circles by the CO ND being appeared more no. of CLIPs in the ERP. Field officers are not able to consume in ERP due to no budget allocation by the Circle.  For battery sets budgets are allotted timely but for CLIPs & OF equipment/material there is a problem for allocation of budget. CGMT MH asked to the concern officers for noting the same.

3.     Shortage of 5 Pair Cable:  CS informed to CGMT that Reg. 5 Pr cable, we have discussed this issue in the earlier occasions also but you are not interested.  For maintaining the existing BB connections & providing some connections in non-feasible area 5 Pr cable is must. CGMT MH continued his stand & told that we have concentrate on fibre & forget about the copper in future. Comrades, we required your feedback/suggestions in this regard.

4.     Delegation of powers for procurement of UY Connectors and DP/CT Box modules to SSA Heads: We have repeated our demand regarding delegation power to SSA head for the procurement of UY - connectors which cost just in paise & Modular strips required at DP Boxes/Pillars which costs in rupees 10-20 at par with Tape & Jelly. CGMT asked GM CPC to look into issues and mentioned that there is nothing wrong in delegation of powers to SSA heads for all such routine and daily use items and assured that it will be taken care positively.

5.     Shortage of JEs/JTOs in field units & engagement of trainees through Apprenticeship in all wings as substitute arrangement: CS SNEA MH brought to the notice of CGMT MH that more no. of TTA/JEs becomes JAO & JTOs (along with the figures) & there is acute shortage of JEs in the field & we have to engage the staff through apprenticeship. Initially CGMT told that JE, JTOs & SDEs are same in the field. CS reacted on that & informed CGMT that the work of JTO & SDE can be interchange but JEs are actually involved in the maintenance of Broad Band activities. Then CGMT asked GM HR/Admin to check the possibilities of engaging staff through apprenticeship. CS intervene & told that the Corporate Office already issued the guidelines in this regard.

6.     Unwanted held up officers for Samudra Manthan meeting at Mumbai: As per the request from DS Parbhani, the issue of works related to Samudra Manthan of Parbhani SSA is also discussed & CGMT assured that the officers those who are on leave will join immediately with our further delay.

7.     Provisioning & mtce of BB Tender for major SSAs: CS informed about delay in finalizing the said tenders even after green signal from the CO ND. Shri. Sandeep Agrwal Sr. GM NWP CFA Mumbai informed that the tender has been finalized for Nagpur SSA & for other Major SSA it is in pipeline. The above factors are very much important for the improvement in MTTR.

8.     Procurement of Mobile BTS & other cards: For the improvement of GSM services, CS requested for the procurement of various types of cards. The some BTSs down since long due to non-availability of cards and supply of new cards will definitely help in improvement of GSM services.

9.     Coordination with the Vendors: Com. Anil Kumar Dubey, DS SNEA Mumbai pointed out that as per AMC vendor has to supply immediate replacement of faulty cards of BTS, but as on today the vendors are taking faulty cards and repairing same and till time BTS remains faulty.  He requested CGMT that the matter needs to be taken at higher level to have proper coordination with the vendor to have immediate action and to provide replacement of faulty cards as per tender condition. If this is taken care it will improve the turn on time of many of BTS throughout Maharashtra Circle.  CGM MH was quite positive and assured to discuss this issue in person within days or two.

In conclusion Shri. M. N. Punde, newly joined GM Finance Mumbai in his speech requested to use of ERP in an effective way which will be help for smooth functioning as well as release of vendor bills in time.

The Brain Storming session and New Year 2017 welcome get together function concluded with vote of thanks by Shri. Kumar Manoj GM HR/Admn Mumbai and greetings of New Year with each other.

·        BSNL CO continuities to be deliberately discriminate in the Cost of transfers among Telecom & Account wing officers.

20 DEC 16:  On the basis of recommendations of the committee constituted for review of provisions under transfer policy clause Rule 8 & Rule 9 for request transfers, DGM WS & I BSNL CO issued orders for amendments in Transfer policy for consideration of inter Circle transfers of JAOs/JTOs outside the recruited Circle. Letter <<<>>>

·        Earlier the Temporary transfers under Rule 9 were considered for all JAOs/JTOs without any consideration of minimum services in recruited Circle after his/her joining as JTO/JAO. 

·        Now as per this revised policy the Temporary transfers under rule 9 will be considered only on completion of minimum two years of service as JTO/JAO in the recruited Circle.

·        Though the provision for Temporary transfers under Rule 9 is made for consideration of genuine medical grounds requests, we have seen that some specific newly joined and influential JTOs/JAOs used their political relations and managed their transfers to choice Circles within 2-3 months of joining as JTO/JAO in BSNL. 

·        Others who do not use such influence are/were compelled to work at recruited Circles even after completion of five years of minimum services for Rule 8 transfers and request transfers of many of JTOs/JAOs were not given consideration to their choice Circles even after completion of ten years of service in recruited Circle.  

·        The maximum period of own cost deputation under Rule 8 transfers is now restricted maximum five years and if after completion of five years period of temporary transfers the officer do not join parent Circle then he/she will be relieved through ERP to join parent Circle.

·        As such for consideration of Rule 8 transfer, one has to complete physically five years in recruited Circle as JTO/JAOs and the period on deputation outside recruited Circle under Rule 9 transfers will be excluded from this minimum stay of five years.

·         As one has to complete five years for permanent transfers to choice Circle at any cost, this amendment will reduce the number of request for temporary transfers under Rule 9 and the requests if any by influential and non -influential JTOs/JAOs will be considered after completion of minimum two years in recruited Circle.

·        Though this amendment will be affect some of the genuine request transfers on medical grounds, it will stop the malpractices for deputation under rule 9 under political influence for getting immediate transfers to choice/home Circles by some politically influential JTOs/JAOs.

·        Let us hope BSNL management follows the transfer policy equally for all and do not make any exception to it under any inside/outside influence or official/unofficial pressure. 

 

 20 DEC 16:  Finally, the confusion over who is SSA Head Raigad is over:  Finally, the confusion over who is SSA Head Raged for last two and half month is over immediately after the matter was taken up by  SNEA MH at different levels. Now as per the orders issued by AGM Staff Mumbai, Raigad SSA will be headed by DGM level Officer with Business Area reporting to GM Kalyan and the present GMT Raigad is relieved on papers to continue his work as GM NOFN Mumbai. Letter <<<>>> Reliving Order <<<>>>

·        This is classic example of mockery of administration in Maharashtra Circle.

·        The work of Raigad SSA was badly affected since 06/10/2016 the date of implementation of Business area concept in Maharashtra Circle under pressure of CGMT MH without considering the issues to the depth.

·        It is fact that just to save Shri. A. B. Gupta GM out of Mumbai he was given charge of GMT Raigad and he continues to be GMT Raigad since last three years even though he was not seating at Raigad and enjoyed Mumbai HQ with additional charge of GM TX/NOFN Mumbai.

·        Though he was rarely visiting office of GMT Raigad at Panvel, many of the works were completed by sending files from Panvel to Mumbai and there were no major issues except difficulties of customers of Raigad SSA in meeting to SSA Head.

·        But after force implementation of Business Area concept, Raigad SSA is under Kalyan Business area and naturally SSA Head Raigad has to report to GM Kalyan as Business Area Head.

·        But here again ego clashes & matter of senior/junior comes and important point was how one GM level Officer will report to other GM level officer, but nobody in Circle office Mumbai cared for last two & half months.

·        After this orders for Business Area implementation, since 06/10/2016 i.e. for last two and half months the works of Raigad SSA were practically stopped as Shri. A. B. Gupta rejected all the files and requests of works through ERP except few cases stating that he is not SSA Head Raigad or may be fact that he will not report to GM Kalyan in capacity of GMT Raigad.

·        After his rejection all cases were diverted to GMT Kalyan in ERP, but as Shri. Gupta was having works of NOFN and same was not separated from GMT Raigad, then the reporting of GM NOFN Mumbai also transferred to GMT Kalyan.

·        Due to this, none of officer in Raigad SSA has received Temporary Advance, no approvals are accorded from the SSA Head and the entire work of Raigad SSA was practically paralyzed for period of at least two months. Under such compulsions, many of the field officers managed office works by making expenditure from pockets to avoid the anguish of customers.

·        The matter was taken up at all the administrative levels and it was reported that the file of transfer of Shri. A. B. Gupta from post of GMT Raigad to GM NOFN Mumbai was not approved by BSNL CO for last two months and hence neither GMT Raigad nor GMT Kalyan was taking care of issues of Raigad SSA.

·        It was unfortunate to see that even though Shri. A.B.Gupta rejected all works in ERP, he was enjoying vehicle of Raigad SSA at Mumbai along with one vehicle of GM TX/NOFN Mumbai, but nobody objected it.

·        When the matter was reported by Com. Sachin Kohadkar DS SNEA Raigad to CS SNEA MH about the difficulties faced by Raigad SSA and executives working thereof, Com. V.B.Kokate CS SNEA MH took immediate initiatives by sharing practical difficulties with all concerned officers and everybody agreed about the difficulties of Raigad SSA, but everybody was pointing figures to BSNL CO for want of transfer order of Shri. A.B.Gupta from post of SSA Head Raigad.

·        Finally SNEA MH has explained the facts to CGMT MH Circle and unrest among the executives and public of Raigad SSA and then matter was reviewed and now Com.  C.V. Rao, DGM Raigad is SSA Head Raigad and he will report to GMT Kalyan as Business Area Head & Shri. A.B.Gupta is relieved from charge of GMT Raigad and will continue to work as GM NOFN Mumbai.

·        This order will definitely save good expenditure of Raigad SSA on double establishment of GMT Raigad as Panvel as well as Mumbai and the decision at level of SSA Head will be taken care at Panvel itself. 

·        It was quite possible that the matter was resolved by administration itself that to be at the time of implementation of orders of Business area, but as the officers in HR/Admn units are under fear of CGMT MH Circle are not able to explain the real issues to CGMT MH and such dilemma continues for the months together and its really unfortunate for the BSNL Maharashtra Circle. Due to such fear only orders of SSA Heads are issued one by one and not by giving equal treatment to all SSA Heads.

·        Let us hope with these changes all the difficulties faced by customers and officers in Raigad SSA will be resolved and in future all such administrative issued are settled without any delay & with practical approach.  

 

 20 DEC 16:  AGM Staff Mumbai issued orders for detaching Enterprise Business Unit from PGMT Pune and attaching it to PGM CM Pune. Letter <<<>>>

·        Only Pune SSA has separate & strong unit of Enterprise Business which was headed by GM level Officer and it has grabbed very good business for BSNL.

·        It was specific arrangement by considering issues of practical  implementation of the orders /business grabbed by the EB team as it was difficult task due to clashes of egos of the officers of different units i.e. GM EB at Mumbai & PGMT Pune.

·        With separation of EB team from PGMT Pune, again similar issues will be reported and the very purpose of formation of separate EB unit at Pune will be defeated, but who cares for business of BSNL is real question? 

·        If it was so then there was no need of separate EB Team Pune and Enterprise Business of Pune SSA also can be taken care by EB team at Mumbai as being done for all other SSAs throughout Maharashtra Circle.

·        But now days, the business of BSNL seems to be given second priority over the clashes between senior officers in BSNL and issues are driven by such egos by changing earlier decisions taken in larger interest of BSNL.

·        Earlier the post of PGM Pune was diverted from Mumbai to Pune for the personal adjustment of the officer and the PGM CM Office Mumbai is kept without head since last 4-5 months.

·        Some of Add GM level officer at Pune is entrusted with charge of GM land one Add GM is degraded by entrusting him charge of DE RTCC Pune and it is always seen that personal egos and clashes are more important than the need of BSNL and same seems to be effectively operated for Pune team. 

·        The one separate GM Sales & Marketing was posted specially for Pune when MH Circle has GM Sales & Marketing and it also was done just to adjust the request of GM level officer at Pune.

·        Same was about posting of PGMT Pune and matter of senior junior thereof and the charge of PGMT Pune was entrusted to different officers in short span of time.

·        Now EB works are detached from PGMT Pune and attached directly to PGM CM Pune with change of designation as PGM CM & EB Pune who is directly reporting to CGMT MH.

·        Let us hope in days to come this work culture changes and priority is given to the works of BSNL and not to personal egos and rivalry among the senior officers and Pune highest Revenue earning SSA of BSNL is kept free from all such politics with free hand to grab more and more Business for BSNL.

·        The issue was specifically raised by Com. M. A. Wase JS NRU SNEA MH & Com. Sameer Shinde DS ACE SNEA Mumbai. In response, it was firmly assured by Com. A.

16 DEC 16:  AD Admn II Mumbai endorsed the copy of the recognition of SNEA as “Majority Representative Association” in BSNL to all SSA Heads in Maharashtra Circle. Letter <<<>>> 

 

16 DEC 16:  AGM CPC BSNNL CO issued fourth reminder letter to all Circle Heads for sending Screening Report, VCs and APRs for all SDEs, DEs & AGMs in Seniority list No. 5, 6 & 7. Letter <<<>>>

·        In casual approach AGM CPC continues to write reminders to Circle heads and Circle heads deliberately neglects all such formal reminder letters and even this fourth reminder will also be shown dust bin.

·        AGM DPC BSNL CO also seems to be have understood that there is no use of writing reminder with specific time frame and hence in this fourth reminder no time frame has been given.

·        As per earlier letter the Screening Committee Report, VCs & APRs were to be sent by 15/11/2016 but after one month also i.e. by 15/12/2016 more than 150 cases are pending  for assessment by Maharashtra Circle and same is case with WTP/WTR & ITPC Circle.

·        It can be seen that none of Circle has sent scanned copies of APRs and it seems there is deliberate negligence in sending the desired information.

·        It was earlier assured by GM HR/Admn Mumbai  that this work will be completed in time bound manner, but it is seen that even the words of GM HR/Admn has no meaning as till APRs of about 130 SDEs/DEs/AGMs are not received in Circle Office Mumbai.     

·        As such all DS/COBs, activist and concerned officers are requested to look into this matter and see that VCs /APRs are sent to AD HRD Mumbai without any further delay.

 

16 DEC 16:  By keeping similar Tenure transfer orders aside, AGM staff Mumbai issued relieving order of single SDE for Tenure station on pick and choose basis , it may be done in the larger interest of BSNL Maharashtra Circle. Letter <<<>>> 

 

16 DEC 16:  EE Civil HQ issued posting order of SDE C for posting of SDE Civil who got modification in zone of posting from BSNL CO and for consideration of own cost request transfers. Letter <<<>>> 

There are certain genuine grievances of some SDEs transferred against their request and SNEA MH will take up all such cases as requested by individuals. Affected executives are requested to send their representation through proper channel and its copy to DS concerned and Com. M. A. Wase, Joint Secretary NRU SNEA MH.

 

16 DEC 16:  CAO FC Mumbai issued orders for 14 JAOs for their four weeks JAO Phase III training w.e.f. 19/12/2016 at NATFM Hyderabad. Letter <<<>>>

        This is unfortunate that the other five JAOs who have joined in Circle Office Mumbai are not assigned any designated work and are compelled to seat idle and this JAO working in Kalyan is forced to join Circle office.   But now FC section has started new trend of pick and choose force relieving and this ERP relieving seems to be used as tool to threaten the concerned officers under transfer. SNEA MH will take up this issue to stop all such malpractices under influence of some individuals and if any force relieving order is to be issued then it should be issued for all such officers and not on pick and choose basis. 

 

16 DEC 16:  AGM Nodal Pune issued orders for constitution of SSA wise Committee for Physical Verification of Physically damaged/Water damaged/burnt/RNP GSM BTS cards and Committee has to complete this work in time bound manner by 22/12/2016. Letter <<<>>>

Campaign Closing Ceremony at Nashik <<<>>>

 

 12 DEC 16:  Congratulations!!!  DGM SR BSNL CO issued notification granting status of “First Recognized Representative Association of Executives in BSNL ’ to our beloved association Sanchar Nigam Executive’s Association (SNEA) with all trade union facilities as SNEA has secured highest votes in first membership verification and has also crossed limit of minimum 35% votes as eligibility for becoming representative association in BSNL.  Letter <<<>>>

·        SNEA is only “Recognized Representative Association of Executives in BSNL” at all levels on Pan India Basis i.e. at Corporate level, Circle level & District Level.

·        It means if in any of the District/Circle,  SNEA has got less votes as compared to any other association, still SNEA District/Circle body will be “Recognized Representative Association in that District/Circle” in that District/Circle and AIBSNLEA will be support Association at all levels.

·        This recognition is for period of three years i.e. from 13/12/2016 to 12/12/2019.

·        Prominent facilities extended to SNEA are: 

1.     Entitlement for providing suggestions /views on important matters/issued related to growth and viability of BSNL.

2.     Entitlement for consultation with management on policy issues related to their cadre management.

3.     Quarterly formal meetings at all levels on agenda points.

4.     Immunity from transfer at District/Circle/CHQ level top Office Bearers of SNEA.

5.     Separate Mobile Service Connection to office Bearers at CHQ/Circle & District Level with CUG facility.

6.     Deduction of monthly subscription of SNEA from Salary of SNEA members.

7.     20 Special CLs to SNEA office Bearers at all levels.  

·        Further ‘AIBSNLA’ is granted recognition just as “Support” association in BSNL with “limited facilities” as it has crossed limit of 15% votes for becoming support Association in BSNL at all levels i.e.  Corporate/Circle and District level.  The Limited Facilities to ‘Support’ Association i.e. AIBSNLEA are:

a.     Permitted to take up issues within the scope of association and management may accept it as input/feedback and it will not be obligatory for management to respond to such issues.

b.    Immunity from Transfer at all level along with deduction of monthly subscription association from AIBSNLEA members salary. 

c.      The trade Union facilities to all other eight participant associations and non-participant association (AIGETOA) has been withdrawn with immediate effect. 

·        Comrades, now it is crystal clear that SNEA as “Majority Representative Association of all Executives in BSNL” is the only association which has right to take up all HR issues with the management and get it settled and that to be at all levels.

·        SNEA has great experience of settlement of HR issues of executives and in between period many of the HR issues were/are pending due to multiplicity of associations and selfish leadership of opponent association, who never worked for uniform applicability of the solvency of the issues and worked only for interest of some group of leaders and never for common members.

·        SNEA will start immediately for the resolution of the pending HR issues with “Top Most Priority” to the critical issues like 30% SAB, Standard Pay Scales with Pay parity of past 2007 JTOs because these are the burning issues.

·        SNEA is further committed to resolve all such issues created due to culprit attitude of certain leaders i.e. Seniority cum fitness SDE Promotion, promotion & posting of LDCE passed JTOs who are not given posting order, settlement of grievances of LDCE passed comrades by restoration of their seniority, First Time Bound Promotion in Four years equally to all executives and so on.

·        SNEA MH is further committed for issuing all pending Rule 8 transfers in time bound manner and possibly in one lot by overcoming earlier procedure of five request to each Circle as we have successfully earlier pursued successfully and it will be taken care very shortly and only need is that all such JTOs should be strongly united under banner of SNEA.

·        Comrades, while meeting with many of the comrades during MV campaigning, SNEA leaders have understood many of the issues like Pay parity of past 2007 batch to the depth and we will make committed & time bound efforts for its resolution by overcoming all manmade hurdles like cascading effect in Standard Pay scales created by certain officers in BSNL management by taking benefits of multiplicity of associations in BSNL.

·        Similar hurdles were created by these leaders by agreement for 3% SAB against publicly approval for 6% SAB by CMD BSNL in SNEA AIC at Jaipur and SNEA will work in committed manner for getting 30% SAB approved and here also only need is that majority rather all DRs/BRs should join hands with SNEA by accepting SNEA membership by forgetting all the issues in past.

·        It is humble request to all BSNL executives in general and DRs/BRs in particular that please do not come in traps laid by certain leaders just to continue their leadership and please join hands with “Majority Representative Association“ so that BSNL management understands strongest unity of executives in BSNL after look at deduction of Association subscription from salary from first month itself.

·        We all executives in BSNL have one important & common issue of 3rd Pay Revision which we have to grab in this year itself and here only strongest unity will give us desired results.     

·        With the process of membership verification, it has been only finalized that which is the “Representative Association” and which is “Support” Association and which are association not having existence in the BSNL as the trade union facilities extended to all other associations except SNEA & AIBSNLEA are withdrawn and hence there is no meaning to continue with membership of such non-recognized association and show division among us.

·        It is chance to all executives in BSNL to be part & member of “Majority Representative Association in BSNL” by filling up membership form of SNEA and all District Secretaries of SNEA are ready to welcome all the executives in SNEA Family without any doubts in mind.

·        Please use this opportunity and be part of ruling party so that all pending HR issues which deliberately delayed by BSNL management by taking benefits of multiplicity of associations since formation of BSNL are resolved in time bound manner.

·        United we Stand, divided we fall and its great opportunity to all of us to be united under banner of SNEA, the Majority Representative Association in BSNL. 

·        SNEA MH appeals all the executives in BSNL to join SNEA regardless of their earlier membership and to whom he/she has voted in the first Membership verification and please give us strength with your active support to resolve all the pending HR issues.

·        Comrades , there may be some issues which are not covered above , but SNEA will continue to take feedback for DS & activists of SNEA and all such issues will be added in agenda points and will be successfully pursued by SNEA.

·        We have learn many of the issues from the results of first membership verification process and we will incorporate all required changes at all levels as per the expectations of executives in BSNL. .

 

SNEA Maharashtra conveys warm greetings on the occasion of Milad-un-Nabi to one and all.

 9 DEC 16:  Counting of Votes of First membership verification of Executive Association in BSNL to start at 0900 hrs today in all SSAs and most probably results in respect of all SSAs except Pune/Mumbai will be available by 1100 hrs.

 8 DEC 16:  AGM DPC BSNL CO calls for detail information of AGMs/DEs, SDEs in Seniority list No. 5, 6 & 7 viz. Name, Perner /HR No, Desgn, DOB, Stream, Present Circle, Staff No etc. for onward submission to AGM Vigilance BSNL CO for grant of Vigilance Clarence for AGM/DE Regular promotion and last date of submission of Information is 25/12/2016. Letter <<<>>>

·        This is best example how the HR issues of BSNL executives are being handled with deliberate negligence and how implementation of ERP by spending Crores of Rupees also is useless for BSNL.

·        Naturally the data should be available with BSNL CO as seniority list is prepared by BSNL CO, but in senseless manner and in totally unwanted method, the data s called from the filed units.

·        It was quite possible that the information missing only would have been called, but information has been called in respect of all SDE, AGM/DE Adhoc and even for DGMs appearing in list No. 5, 6 & 7, making clear that there is no correct seniority list with BSNL CO.

·        Casual approach of BSNL CO is clearly visible that last date of submission of data is 25/12/2016 which is holiday and who will be available in BSNL CO to collect this data is also under question.

·        This is ridiculous to see the approach of BSNL CO while these officers are being promoted to STS level and there needs some basic changes in DPC and overall approach about the promotions of BSNL’s own officers.

·        Let us hope this there is some changes in approach of the BSNL CO in dealing with such sensitive issues and proper records are maintained by BSNL in soft as well as hard copy and every now and then data is not called from Circles/SSAs.

6 DEC 16:  SNEA MH conveys sincere thanks to all the District Secretaries, Circle Office Bearers, activists of SNEA in different districts /Units of Maharashtra Circle for their devoted and, dedicated and day night efforts for last one month for campaigning   all the executives in BSNL by table to table and door to door visit and explaining stand of SNEA on different issues.

·        We convey special thanks for the young comrades who have taken day night efforts in replying the doubts/questions raised by opponents on function/working and stand of SNEA on social media and especially on different Whats App and maintained strong stand of SNEA with immediate, proper and fitting replies.

·        Due to sincere and devoted efforts by all the comrades there is wave of mass support to SNEA and it is not only accepted by SNEA members, but same is also accepted by opponents also agrees that SNEA is the winner and let us be ready for celebration of victory on 09/12/2016.

 

5 DEC 16:  Rights Of BSNL Executives Recruited Under Reserved Category & Hypothetical Fear Thereof: SNEA MH has received queries from some of active comrades that leader/s of some association/s are spreading news that SNEA is not taking any interest for issues related to executives in reserved category. Further it is propagated that executives of reserved category in BSNL will have to face reversion and their right for promotion as per roaster point will be withdrawn in days to come and hence all reserved category executives have to leave join some particular association by leaving membership of SNEA. 

·       In view of above it is informed that as per BSNL Recognition of Executive Association (BSNL REA) Rule 2014, clause 4 (4) the participant/eligible association should not be formed on basis of caste, creed, tribe or on religious denomination and hence none of association can project as the only association for rights of reserved category executives.

·       Further after results of referendum process only Majority Representative Association will have right of discussions/negotiations with BSNL management.

·       Majority executives in BSNL recruited under reserved category are members of SNEA and many of them are leading SNEA from front by holding responsible Office Bearer Post in SNEA at District/Circle & CHQ level and hence SNEA is fully committed for protection of rights of executives of reserved category as well as executives of OC category with the constitution of India as per the prevailing instructions on the subject.

·       It is further inform that SNEA has always taken stand and will continue with same to maintain the roaster points as being carried out in BSNL.

·       SNEA as Majority Association will take every step for protection of rights of executives recruited under reserved category and there is should not be any fear in the minds of the executives as being spread.

·       It may also be seen that any association with such discrimination by limiting membership for reserved category cannot become majority Association in BSNL and in such case the said association can never get right for fight of executives as Majority Representative Association in BSNL.

·       Being PSU, fully owned by Govt of India, BSNL has to follow all the rules of reservation and it is duty bound to follow roaster. It may be noted that for any DPC for promotion in BSNL, concerned LO (Liaison officer) for SC ST are compulsory member of DPC and till the rights of the reserved category executives are not maintained, the roaster is not maintained as per guidelines, LO do not sign the DPC report and without his/her signature,  no promotions are possible.

·       As such no one should be under any such hypothetical fear created by some leaders just to gain some votes for their association.   

·       Hence all executives in General Category and Executives under reserved category are once again appealed be assured about their rights while working in BSNL and they should fearlessly vote for Association which has capacity and chance for becoming Majority association by getting minimum 35% votes.

·       Please do not come in such emotional trap for direct division of executives & their votes in BSNL and there should not be any fear factor in minds of executives as being created by some individual by one to one contact. 

 

 5 DEC 16: SNEA MAHARASHTRA PAYS TRIBUTE TO BHARATRATNA DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR ON HIS 60TH DEATH ANNIVERSARY/ MAHAPARINIRVAN DIN.

 

5 DEC 16: Contribution & commitment of SNEA for ACE Comrades: At the time of SNEA formation Civil, Electrical and Architectural wings were allied with other Association. After seeing the commitment of SNEA towards resolving the issues of ACE wings, under the leadership of the then GS, AIJEA Com. Gunasekharan took a historic decision on 08/08/2004 to merge with SNEA. Since merger has taken place, lot of care and pain is taken by SNEA to address the issues of Civil, Electrical, Architectural and Telecom Factory wings.

The Comrades of ACE (Architecture/Civil/Electrical wing), are joining in mass in SNEA Family and only few are still having confusion in mind where to be with majority or with minority. Over the period, we have seen that some permanent leaders of particular association are creating hurdles in the strongest Unity of ACE comrades. Some of these leaders are waiting for offer of post from SNEA , but in SNEA no such assurance is given for Office Bearer post n SNEA and till time some such officers neither joining SNEA, the majority Association nor allowing /liberty permitting for accepting membership of any association. Unfortunately some of them ask what SNEA has done for him/her. For all such comrades of ACE wing who are not aware about achievement of SNEA in HR issues of ACE comrades , the information of such achievement by SNEA are listed  below.

1.     Change of Designation and extending the executive facilities:  At the time of formation of BSNL JEs of Civil, Electrical & Architectural wings were absorbed as Group C and do not have the facilities of Executives like Residential Telephone, reimbursement of Paper etc., SNEA took up the issue with management for Change of designation along with extension of executive facilities. Designation was changed and all Facilities i.e. Residential Service Connection, perks, were extended to ACE wings. 

2.     Counting of residency period for Time Bound Promotion with effect from 1.10.2000:   Due to delay in modification of RR of Civil, Electrical and Architectural wings, JEs designated as JTO on 1.12.2001 & SDEs from 1.3.2002. A serious discrimination has occurred and they were denied Time Bound Promotion along with other wings before 2006. SNEA fought with management and got relaxation to allow them for counting the residency period w.e.f 1.10.2000 for the purpose of TBP.

3.     Abolishing Accounts Examination: Previously every executive of Civil, Electrical wings has to pass the Accounts examination at all levels to get their second increment. Several times, examination was notified in the month of March & some time the notification was not known to all the executives & not conducted regularly. Due to that most of the executives not passed the said exam and their increments were not drawn. With these most of the seniors are effected. SNEA took up the issue very seriously and fought with management. Finally, Management agreed to scrap the exam and converted in to one week training. Orders are issued in May 2010.

4.     Implementation of ACP:  ACP scheme was introduced in the time of DOT era and is very beneficial to all ACE wings. After implementation of TBP a serious anomaly occurred while pay fixation and department has decided to recover a huge amount about Rs.2-3 lakhs. During Feb, 2008, PGM (BW)/Management (Pers wing) issued a letter to implement the TBP by recovering a huge amount from seniors, who got ACP.  SNEA took up with management and with the pressure of the then GS Com. G.L. Jogi, a committee was formed to settle the issue.  After a series of discussions and submission of 67 pages comprehensive report from SNEA, management finally issued a letter 20/05/ 2010 to end the issue. With these clarification most of the seniors are benefited.

5.     Settlement of Executive Pay Scales: During the absorption all the JEs of Civil, Electrical & Architectural wings were drawing Rs. 5000.00 scale and AEs were drawing Rs. 6500.00 scale. Association took up the issue with management. With great struggle management formed Vinay Sahi committee and as per the recommendations of committee, Executive Pay scales were extended to JTOs w.e.f 01/10/2000 & for SDEs w.e.f. 01/03/2002 notionally.  Still there is a serious discrimination in implementation of the Executive pay scales to these wings. SNEA is making sincere efforts to settle the issue & gone for agitation to end the discrimination.  With our agitation, in May 2016 CMD agreed to settle the issue and directed the MC to end the discrimination.  All these days we have compared the pay scales with JAOs and fought with management. But clarification was received from Finance ministry of India that JAOs are allowed Rs.6500.00 pay scale in other Central Govt. Departments since 1996 and the same facility has been extended to JAOs of BSNL. Hence comparison of pay scales with JAOs is nullified and SNEA is demanding complete parity among all the cadres with organization. SNEA is committed to settle the issue before implementation of 3rd PRC.

6.     Modification of MSRR-2009: After formation of BSNL, RRs are modified as per MSRR 2009. But in case of ACE wings as per 2009 MSRR (modified as per 1994) existing executive will require a Degree to become EE (STS) cadre. Where as in Telecom, all the existing incumbents are allowed to become STS cadre. It is a serious discrimination and all the existing diploma holders are deprived to become EE with these RRs.  SNEA is committed to resolve this issue and taken up with management several times. With the fight of SNEA in 2015, instead going for modification of RRs, Management issued clarification that a diploma with 10 years’ experience will allowed to become EE.  It will allow the existing Diploma SDEs to become EEs. If RRs are modified now, it will be prospective and existing Diploma SDEs are not eligible to become EEs. Modification of RRs is one of the issue is still left over to resolve completely and SNEA will get it resolved in committed manner.

7.     Integration with main stream:  Many of comrades of Civil & Electrical wing are demanding for complete merger of both the wings in main stream i.e. Telecom wing. Though some efforts were made for it, same could not be materialised as there was reluctance on part of higher officers in ACE wing. But now many of Civil/Electrical wing senior executives are given responsibility of main stream and about all post of GM HR has been taken over by officers of ACE wing. With these change reluctance rather oppose by senior officers for merger with main stream will be reduced and in days to come there will be initiatives on part of the officers in ACE wing for merger of ACE wing with main stream.  

8.     Equality & Transparency in Transfer posting of ACE comrades: Earlier there was always disparity n issuing transfer posting of ACE comrades and comrades were kept under tension of transfer posting. But over the period, due to efforts taken by SNEA at all levels the ACE comrades are getting justice, choice posting without paying any cost for it and it is being transparent manner by publishing waiting list on MH Intranet. Till there is need of more imitates for transparency in transfer posting as per transfer policy guidelines, grant of faculties while working at tenure stations, consideration of point to point request transfers etc and SNEA will take care of all such issues in days to come.   

Thus it is crystal clear that majority of issues of ACE wing comrades have been taken care only by SNEA and SNEA will continue to resolve the issues in similar committed manner.

It is matter of pride that by taking note of all such initiatives by SNEA and positive results thereof many of comrades have joined SNEA throughout Maharashtra Circle.

 With strong initiatives by ACE leaders Com. Mangesh Wase Joint Secretary NRU SNEA MH, Com. Sameer Shinde DS ACE Mumbai Com. Deshpande DP ACE Branch SNEA Pune, Com. Bhalerao DS ACE Branch SNEA Pune, about 80% executives of Civil Electrical & Architecture wing have joined SNEA during last 4-5 years. For SNEA campaign of Membership Verification, all these leaders have toured different SSAs and have built up such strong and historical unity.

SNEA will pursue and resolve the issues /grievances raised by highly & strongly united ACE comrades under banner of SNEA in similar committed and result oriented manner.

Architecture, Civil, Electrical wing Executive Unity Zindabad,

ACE Comrades Zindabad.

 

 5 DEC 16: SNEA activities at Telecom Factory Mumbai: Till today the comrades of Telecom Factory Mumbai are not active members of SNEA because we do not have separate branch of SNEA at Telecom Factory. Earlier SNEA TF Mumbai branch was formed by Com. A.R. Manani, Ex CS/AGS/VP SNEA CHQ and it was functioning nicely but same could not continue as functional branch for different reasons and hence TF comrades are not actively involved in SNEA activities. During last month Com. Anil Dubey DS SNEA Mumbai and his team SNEA Mumbai has visited TF Mumbai for referendum process and he has got good response from TF Comrades.

By now, it is clear that after referendum process, SNEA will be majority association all over India and SNEA will have its own District Branch at Telecom Factory Mumbai. Anyone from TF Mumbai who will lead SNEA branch will have rights to negotiate with management on HR as well as development issues even through other group gets majority within TF Mumbai. 

Hence, in days to come, for the grievances and issues ,TF wing executives at Mumbai will have to join SNEA as happened in other Telecom Factories at Jabalpur & Kolkota as it will be only and official voce of executives in TF Mumbai. The proposed branch of SNEA TF Mumbai will be in existence very shortly and will continue its fight for rights of Telecom factory comrades.

We appeal all the executives in TF Mumbai to understand the issue to the depth and be with winner team SNEA and cast your prestigious & precious vote for SNEA and please do not to waste it by casting it to minority association and keep yourself away from Victory.

 

5 DEC 16:  Appeal to LDCE Passed Comrades in BSNL:  Dear Comrades, Of the late we have seen much unrest among the LDCE Passed comrades throughout India due to change in seniority of about all LDCE passed comrades as per date of joining and view of the referendum process it has become part of campaigning of referendum process and deliberate attempt are being made by some individuals to encash the feelings of LDCE passed comrades in eve of referendum process and misguiding them about the stand of SNEA on this matter.

 The unrest among LDCE passed comrades is genuine as all of sudden the seniority granted before years together is changed as BSNL lost the legal battle in Hon. Supreme Court. It happens as the legal cell has not taken proper stand/action for defending case as taken in some other similar cases.  It is but natural to have mass unrest that when such changes takes place by directly defeating the very purpose of conducting LDCE and fixing seniority of successful candidates in promoted cadres years before. Now even after repeated request by individual, the legal cell, BSNL CO is not taking correct stand on this case and BSNL as whole keeps mum on such important issue affecting executives in mass.

In fixing seniority by date of joining also BSNL has played dirty politics as the seniority is not fixed practically as per date of joining and it is fixed as date of promotions against directives of Hon Court on this matter. It happens as it is not possible to fix seniority as per date of joining in SDE cadre. Finally the date of joining comes to be date of joining in substantive cadre JTO and not as per date of joining on promotion as SDE.

BSNL management is aware that in BSNL it is not possible to fix the promotions as per date of joining, but instead for defending case properly matter has been spoiled by taking different stand in different court cases related to LDCE & fixation of seniority. The different court cases on LDCE seniority and mismanagement at BSNL Corporate office has divided all the executives in BSNL in two groups as LDCE passed and Non LDCE passed executives.

It is not limited to this spilt , but the LDCE passed comrades are further divided in small groups like 147 case, LDCE 2002 , LDCE 2007 etc. Then BSNL has further divided LDCE passed executives in two prominent groups on the basis of grant of Notional Pay Fixation as it is granted to only 124 SDEs who have approached court of law and same is not granted to any other LDCE passed SDE, who has kept faith on BSNL and not approached court of law. The left out LDCE passed in BSNL will be further divided SNEA LDCE and ABLE LDCE. When there is need of strongest unity for fighting such a special court case, we are dividing LDCE passed executives, in smaller groups and this will never solve the present issues of LDCE comrades but it will definitely increase problems of LDCE passed executives and if proper action is not taken for stronger unity then it will be confirmed in days to come. 

The problems of LDCE comrades are purely due to biased & careless approach of legal cell of BSNL Corporate Office and mainly by taking different stand at different court case. It is but natural that concerned officers in legal cell needs to be taken task by BSNL management and SNEA has to raise voice for it, but same did not happen and finally mesh has been created in fixation of seniority of LDCE passed executives in BSNL.

SNEA MH accepts the fact that about 99% LDCE passed comrades are members of SNEA and all have much expectation from SNEA to take up this issue and fight with the management for restoration of seniority of LDCE passed candidates. You all are aware that under valuable guidance & keen pursuance by Com. S.V.Bhad, then CP SNEA MH , in CEC Solapur it has been resolved that SNEA will take up matter for restoration of seniority of LDCE passed executives to the respective year for which they are declared successful in LDCE.

 It may be noted that all the comrades who have not passed LDCE are not against LDCE and fixing their seniority for respective year for which LDCE was held, but all non LDCE are and will be against the way in which seniority of SDEs has been abnormally upgraded against the guidelines and some of candidates got seniority of the year when they were enjoying childhood and school days.  

Classic example of such support of LDCE comrades by non LDCE comrades is Com. S.V.Bhad Ex CP SNEA MH, who has always taken efforts for restoration of seniority of LDCE passed comrades to respective years, though he has not passed LDCE, but he is man of principal and has taken initiatives to bring awareness among the executives in BSNL about deliberate injustice to LDCE passed comrades. It will not be exaggeration if we say that due to his initiatives only finally matter was discussed in CEC Solapur and resolution was passed in CEC Solapur & Circle Conference Pune of SNEA MH for restoration of seniority of LDCE passed executives to the respective year for which they are declared successful in LDCE.

You may remember in Circle Conference of SNEA MH at Pune, when the matter of LDCE was discussed, SNEA MH specially paid Rs 50000.00 as additional rent for Conference Hall as discussions continued up to 2200 hrs beyond schedule of hall limited up to 2000 hrs. After the open discussions in hall, the SNEA CHQ leaders have detail discussions with affected LDCE comrades in Maharashtra Circle and it was firmly assured for justice to LDCE passed comrades. This issue was lastly discussed in CWC Kolkata in detail and it was firmly resolved by CWC Kolkata for restoration of seniority of LDCE passed executives to the respective year for which they are declared successful in LDCE. The outcome of this resolution will be discussed in next CWC Meeting but as BSNL has declared the first Membership verification process, some group of LDCE passed officers have started campaigning against SNEA that SNEA has done nothing for LDCE passed executives.

No doubt, that LDCE passed executives and some leaders in SNEA have taken efforts to keep this issue alive and burning by raising it in different forums within SNEA, with BSNL management and in Hon. Court also and till today everybody has expectations from SNEA for some immediate steps for restoration of seniority. But it is fact that the issue has not been raised to the level as expected by LDCE passed comrades and there is unrest among the LDCE passed SNEA members.     

But unfortunately, this unrest has been given way by formation of separate association of some LDCE passed candidates and it has become party against SNEA in the referendum process. It is but natural that whoever will be in support of this new association ABLE will be earlier SNEA comrade and it will reduce one vote of SNEA each time and hence SNEA MH is concerned about it.

But before taking such extreme step to work for ABLE, the LDCE passed die-hard comrades will have to critical analysis of the issues and overall efforts taken by SNEA for LDCE passed candidates. History prevails that when other associations were against holding LDCE only SNEA has pursued for holding LDCE in BSNL and LDCE are being conducted now at regular intervals. 

SNEA not only supported conduction of LDCE, but has taken special efforts by actively supporting the candidates appearing LDCE by preparing and printing special Books as per syllabus of LDCE, conduction of classes for candidates appearing for LDCE, SNEA has taken up all the issues related to smooth conduction of LDCE with management, then it was SNEA which has taken special efforts for posting of LDCE passed executives as per their choice and finally SNEA only has taken efforts for change of Circle for many of LDCE passed comrades on their promotion as SDE under LDCE quota.

Not only on preparations of LDCE examination, but in fighting legal battle in Bombay  High Court also SNEA has actively supported as the expenditure of lakhs of rupees was paid by SNEA. In this court case at Bombay High Court Com. P.M. Joshi then SDE Nashik and present  AGM Estt Mumbai and Com. C. R. Kadam SDE Nashik and some other SDEs were party and the entire expenditure for this court case which was been taken care by SNEA.  Fortunately Com. P.M. Joshi, though not happy with present stand of SNEA but he is working in support of SNEA and unfortunately Com. C.R. Kadam who has played key role in fighting this court case in Bombay High Court in support of SNEA has forgotten the efforts of SNEA under his own actions.

It is most painful for all of us that our own SNEA comrades are now working against interest of SNEA and found making naked allegations against SNEA, which cannot be justified by any means and for any reasons.

SNEA MH is still hopeful that all such de-hard comrades will understand ground realities and real reasons & problems for present condition of LDCE passed executives and will stand behind the SNEA like rock and get their issues settled only on the platform of SNEA itself.

Thus the propaganda made by some groups that SNEA has done nothing for LDCE comrades has no meaning and if SNEA has not done anything for LDCE passed candidates then other association have done nothing in support of LDCE passed executives in BSNL rather have always worked against interest of  LDCE. The main opponent of LDCE is AIBSNLEA & it has openly opposed from conduction of LDCE and you all are aware that AIBSNLEA and its leaders are behind the lowering of seniority of LDCE comrades.

Yes , the expectations of LDCE comrades are more from SNEA and as on today SNEA has to play important role in settlement of dispute among 33% LDCE passed executives and executives promoted under 67% Seniority Cum Fitness Quota. From past it is seen that SNEA has done such efforts in settlement of conflicts in different groups and here also SNEA will be surely successful.

This LDCE issue can be better taken on platform of SNEA and formation separate single point agenda group /association by detaching some part of LDCE passed executives from SNEA just for persuasion of LDCE issues will not be proper step as it will directly affect the unity of executives in BSNL.

There will be vertical split among executives promoted under LDCE & SCF quota and in such dispute the matter will be shunting in different courts without timely results as expected by many of the comrades.

Till today SNEA has given everything to all the executives in BSNL and everybody except opponent groups of SNEA is aware about the contribution of SNEA for executives in BSNL including DoT period.

But when it is time to reciprocate and give first ever & precious vote to SNEA, some LDCE passed officers have formed separate association ‘ABLE‘ and it is participating against SNEA in 1st membership verification and unfortunately some of LDCE passed comrades of SNEA are trapped in this group, which is really painful.

Initially, it was informed that it is group for collection of funds for fighting court case in Hon Supreme court and the funds required in Lakh of rupees will be generated through this group and hence many of SNEA comrades have liberally contributed thousands of rupees for it. But SNEA members smell something wrong when such group becomes association participating in membership verification process and deliberately campaigning against SNEA and its leaders. No doubt, some of leaders/members SNEA may be against LDCE passed comrades and unrest among LDCE passed comrades is quiet expected but how die-hard comrades of SNEA can oppose the SNEA as whole and appeal other SNEA comrades to vote for ABLE against beloved SNEA.

Please note that ABLE is group association formed for settlement of present man made issues created for LDCE passed candidates due to date of joining issue and once this issue is settled, this group/association will be closed and there cannot be any other issue which can be fought on platform of such agenda based association. Some of comrades propagate that ABLE is formed to create pressure on SNEA leaders, but it seems to be wrong that instead of creating pressure on SNEA leaders, the leaders functioning on platform of ABLE are attacking SNEA and making appeal to SNEA comrades not to vote for SNEA is most unfortunate and unwanted at this stage.

Such actions on platform of ABLE will help the associations like AIBSNLEA which  is known for its extreme oppose to LDCE passed candidates/ groups among BSNL executives and by indirect way leaders of ABLE will be supporting AIBSNLEA, which is not really aim of formation of ABLE.

BSNL management also supports such split groups of SNEA as it is under fear of fighting spirit of SNEA and naturally management will not be happy to see the thumping majority of any of association in BSNL and definitely not for such victory of SNEA which do not have history for out of house settlement as that of leaders of other association/s. Thus by formation of such small group and agenda based associations, the LDCE passed executives in BSNL are supporting BSNL management to work against the LDCE comrades.

Now when ABLE is part of Verification process and there is need of 35% votes to become Majority Representative Association in BSNL. There no chance to get minimum 35% votes for ABLE as strength of LDCE passed executives in BSNL is limited to maximum 33% only and out of 33% total post of LDCE executives many post are vacant and overall percentage of LDCE passed executives is less than 25 % of total executives. Out of these 25% LDCE passed executives many are not in favour of formation of separate group and association and splitting the executives in BSNL vertically in two groups i.e. LDCE & SCF quota. Mainly many of comrades are firmly bonded with SNEA and hence in no case ABLE will be in position to get 35% votes. It is propagated that ABLE is not fighting for 35% Votes and it fighting for 15% Votes to become support association and we have doubts where it will be able to get even 15% votes.

If any of association gets 35% votes and become Majority Representative Association then there will not be any support association in BSNL and thus even after getting 15% votes by ABLE will be of no use as all rights will be with Majority Association and BSNL management will work in tune with this association. In case ABLE gets 15% votes then but naturally the LDCE comrades with SNEA will be minority and their voice will be suppressed within SNEA and there will not be any support from SNEA for LDCE comrades.

At present, the resolution passed in CWC Kolkata is due to fact that majority of LDCE passed executives are in SNEA and are leading SNEA from front. Till we find that any of the leader is deviating for decisions of CWC for any reason, then SNEA comrades have every right to replace such leader in democratic manner and we should opt for it instead of supporting such small groups vertically dividing unity of executives in BSNL.  If comrades continue with this approach again LDCE comrades will be divided SNEA LDCE and ABLE LDCE and their will be clashes among them and till we believe the strength of SNEA LDCE will be much more than ABLE LDCE.

If someone has doubt about SNEA for taking issues of LDCE comrades, then he/she should understand that none of association can take up the issues of LDCE comrades. In SNEA prominent CHQ/Circle/District leaders are LDCE passed comrades e.g. Com. A. A. Khan, CHQ President, Com. K. Sebastian GS, Com. M. S. Adasul, DyGS SNEA CHQ, Com. Shukla AGS SNEA CHQ, Com. Manish Samadhiya AGS SNEA CHQ Com. Pandurang Naik AGS SNEA CHQ and many of the Circle/District Secretaries, Circle/District Office Bearers of SNEA are LDCE passed candidates.

K.A.Gawali VP SNEA Goa and so on.  This are only few names we could list out at last moment, but there are many other LDCE comrades throughout Maharashtra Circle who are holding District/Circle level Office Bearer post in SNEA and actively involved in activities of SNEA and are firmly bonded with SNEA.

 When this much LDCE comrades are actively involved in SNEA leadership and till SNEA is unable to do something as desired by LDCE comrades then it means there are certain genuine issues which needs focused approach with strongest unity and mainly settlement of differences between two vertical groups and getting issues cleared from the Hon court.

It is need of time that BSNL should have one Majority Representative Association because as on today pendency of many of HR issues is mainly due to multiplicity of associations in BSNL and when BSNL has given chance to eliminate the minimum eight associations in the first membership verification, we all should grab the opportunity and bring SNEA as Majority Representative Association in BSNL with strongest unity among us. It may be noted that two major associations like AIBSNLEA & AIGETOA are practically merged for getting position of Majority Association, and here  the splitting of group of SNEA comrades on name of ABLE is definitely not good sign and it will surely work against future of LDCE passed comrades in BSNL.

We have to understand need of single representative association with more than 35% votes.

If we want to see that issues of LDCE passed executives are to be taken to proper depth by majority association SNEA then please continue to be with SNEA and continue to give your best to SNEA and be assured that SNEA will continue to give best to all executives.

Please note that only SNEA has chance & capacity to cross minimum eligible votes of 35 % to eliminate multiplicity of associations  in BSNL and if in extreme case due to diversion of members in such small groups, SNEA do not cross the benchmark of 35% , then the multiplicity of associations will not only continued but it will be multiplied by addition  of some other associations and this will be very dangerous situation and it will be threat not only for executives in BSNL but it will be threat for survival of BSNL.

We cannot afford any threat against survival of BSNL because when many of Private companies and organisation in Govt of India are aggressively talking about disinvestment in BSNL and moving towards privatisation of BSNL. Also the strength of executives and Non Executives will be drastically reduced in coming 3-4 years as about 50% of non-executives and 15% of executives are due for superannuation retirement in BSNL by 2019. The survival of BSNL is not only important for executives & Non-executives of BSNL, but it is required to maintain fare competition in telecom sector and in absence of the BSNL, the Private operators will hike tariffs as per their will and wish and will harass the customers in telecom sector as was being done for mobile charges @ Rs 16 per minute before entry of BSNL and after entry of BSNL it has been reduced up to One paisa one second etc.   

In view of all above facts, it is sincere appeal to all executives in BSNL to come out of different traps for formation of agenda based association in general and LDCE passed executives in particular. All executives should be strongly united under banner of SNEA and give first ever vote to SNEA for becoming First Majority Representative association with thumping majority and be assured for resolution of all HR issues in Time Bound manner regardless of the issue belongs to some group of executives in BSNL.

As such it is sincere appeal to all LDCE passed comrades in BSNL to continue to keep faith on the democratic working of SNEA and its highly strong leadership from Districts to CHQ and vote for SNEA without any doubt in mind about settlement of any issue. Your precious vote for SNEA only will eliminate the multiplicity of association in BSNL and it is key solution for creating impact on BSNL management to give proper solution for pending HR issues of executives in BSNL.

If after all out efforts by SNEA also of LDCE Comrades do not get desired results, then also we will have to be with SNEA because our SNEA is known for its fighting spirit and if some has doubt doubts on the actions of any of leaders, then please be in SNEA and try to replace SNEA such leaders who are not taking care of issues to the expectations of members.

Please note that every Vote to ABLE will be counted as vote against SNEA and the voice of LDCE comrades within SNEA will not be heard correctly if ABLE gets good number of votes. As such it is now prime responsibility of LDCE passed executives that no single vote from Maharashtra Circle should go to ABLE, then stand of SNEA MH while taking up this issue with SNEA CHQ will be fully justified and take care. If certain votes more than the number of leaders of ABLE in Maharashtra Circle goes, then there will be some difficulty for SNEA MH in taking up matter. If the votes towards ABLE are limited to the number of leaders in ABLE, then also SNEA MH will be in strongest position and in such marvellous position and unity of the LDCE comrades, SNEA MH assures to resolve all the issues of LDCE comrades even by taking very strong on the subject.

SNEA MH has already conveyed the feelings of LCDE passed comrades to SNEA CHQ and it is being responded very positively and hopefully concrete assurance for LDCE s expected today. But it’s our sincere appeal to all LDCE passed comrades, please be with own association which has highest chances of becoming First Majority Representative Association in BSNL and it is but natural as SNEA will continue to be strongest Association as after declaration of results many of the comrades of looser associations will willingly join SNEA, the winner association.    

Rest, all LDCE comrades are wise enough and apply their mind on the need of raising their issues on right and strongest platform and we are sure none of LDCE passed comrade will be under such emotional and hypothetical trap, will continue to be with SNEA openly and will not take any action against interest of LDCE comrades as well as their beloved association SNEA. 

Vote for SNEA, Vote for majority,

Vote for respect of LDCEns,

Vote for bright Future of executives in BSNL.

 5 DEC 16:  Illegal & Force Nomination of SNEA members as “Polling Agents by other associations: It has been brought to notice of SNEA MH by our District Secretaries & Activist  that some of active SNEA members are nominated as Polling Agents by other associations without any consent of these members.

·        It is also informed by our comrades that they are informed that there is nothing wrong in Polling Agent of other association. It may be please noted that “Polling Agent” is to be nominated by DS of concerned association among the members of that particular association.

·        Nomination of Polling Agents who are not member of that association is not legal and it will create doubts in minds of SNEA comrades of that particular District about integrity of such illegally nominated “Polling Agent”.

·        This is attempt for creating doubts about Integrity and devotion of SNEA comrades towards his beloved association and creating disputes among SNEA members and we should not come in such traps.  

·        Comrades, further it is done just for misleading voters and mainly for creating confusion on eve voting for first Membership verification that some of SNEA members have left SNEA and have joined other associations.

·        Another reason behind such illegal action is that the said associations are not having membership even for nominating the “Polling Agents” and God only knows for what they are nominating “Polling agents”.

·        SNEA comrades are wise enough and they will not take such decision of leaving winning association and join the association which is sure looser and will not forgo  his/her identity as member of an active and vibrant association.

·        Comrades, you all are aware that already some of associations have made attempts to stay MV process by approaching court of law, which was not accepted by any of Hon Court.

·        All such actions of these self-declared leaders, shows that they have accepted defeat before fight and these are the attempts made just for showing their existence after declaration of results of referendum process 09/12/2016.

·        All voters of BSNL are appealed to aware of all such self-declared leaders and mainly do not waste your prestigious vote by casting it in favour of association/s led by such leaders , who are not having members even to nominate single member as Polling agents.

·        SNEA MH sincerely appeals all the voters to be with and part of winning association by casting your vote to the SNEA which is leading over all associations by very good Margin and strengthen SNEA so as to get all the HR issues resolved in Time Bound Manner.

 

 5 DEC 16: Pay Loss to the JTOs/JAOs Recruited After 2007 and solutions thereof.   Comrades, over the period the pay loss of JAOs/JTOs recruited after 2007 has become very important issues because the difference between the pay of JTOs/JAOs recruited before and after 01/01/2007 is increasing day by day and in total disappointing manner some of JTOs/JAOs are facing pay loss of about Rs. 14000 per month as compared to JTO recruited before 01/01/2007. This is really hurt burning. Though this issue is pending since 2009 i.e. after implementation of second PRC, there was no concrete action taken by BSNL and all associations were focused only on getting approved the Standard Pay Scales E2 for JTO/JAO in place of present mid-scale E1A and E3 for SDE/AO in place of E2A scale. But approval of Standard pay scales will not settle the pay loss totally and the difference of pay will continue for many of the JTOs/JAOs.

In last Central Working Committee of SNEA held at Kolkata which was held Feb 2016 the issue was discussed in the depth and on the basis of feedback it was decided unanimously to first get approved the Standard Pay Scales and then start fight for the  pay loss of the left out JTOs/JAOs. It was based on the expectations that Standard Pay Scales will be approved by end of 2016 and the difference of Pay loss to other JTOs/JAOs can be covered in the third PRC.

But over the period of one year, it is witnessed by all that some officers of Khan Committee put negative & disagreeing remarks on the recommendation of Khan Committee and when the report of Khan Committee were earlier agreed by all the three participant association, later with betrayal two association have raised two objections i.e. Cascading effect demanding pay up gradation to all executives in BSNL and two Time Bound Promotions in one Scale.

Two Time Bound Promotion Scale is not stressed by anybody as it was issue of small group of officers, but cascading effect was demanded for masses and the issue of Standard Pay Scales of E2 & E3 , which was demand for last seven years has been practically hijacked. Unfortunately this point has become bottle neck and since last ten months matter is shunting from BSNL to DoT & vice versa.

This happens due to multiplicity of associations and the initiatives by BSNL management to keep the associations disputing among them and creating problems for the affected JTOs/JAOs. Here real culprit is the officers in BSNL Corporate Office and BSNL management and if anybody is to be blamed for this disparity is then BSNL management, but in view of referendum process the blame game has been started among two & half associations ( First SNEA, Second AIBSNLEA & half AIGETOA as it is under total control of AIBSNLEA and do not have its own opinion even though majority of affected executives are members AIGETOA as claimed by the said leaders ) and the officers in the management responsible for grant of “Equal Pay Equal work” and BSNL management is enjoying the disputes between the two and half associations as nothing concrete action has been taken to redress the genuine grievances of these JTOs/JAOs. 

It is fact that only solution to resolve the total unrest and anguish among these executives is pay parity at 22820 for post 2007 recruits JTOs/JTOs. This matter needs to be discussed in the fourth coming CEC of SNEA in different Circles and then in CWC Meeting of SNEA CHQ which is due very shortly. The JTOs/JAOs of batch 2005 working in Maharashtra Circle are aware that with involvement of Com. Mukesh Wadhwani ADS SNEA Kalyan, Com. Sachin Sarode ACS SNEA Maharashtra and many other 2005 batch JTOs in activities of SNEA, how the issue of difference of pay of batch 2005 was resolved in committed manner after long tour of Maharashtra Circle by Com. G.L.Jogi then GS SNEA CHQ.

Apart from this the critical issue of EPF weres resolved by SNEA in committed manner just because of involvement of Com. Mahanand Gaikwad ADS SNEA Pune, Com. Yogesh Bhongle DS SNEA Ratnagiri.

 In similar committed manner only SNEA MH has given break through the Rule 8 Transfers and about 50% Rules transfers have been issued and SNEA MH is committed for issuing & implementing all pending Rule 8 transfer by March 2017.

None of association other than SNEA has given such committed and Time Bound Results and in all other issues also SNEA will put all out efforts for settlement of the pending HR issues.

These are the examples of settlement of issues of DR Comrades by SNEA and it is crystal clear that when matter has been brought to the notice of SNEA leaders then it has been resolved in committed & time bound manner.

Now also SNEA only has capacity to get this issue settled once for all but the multiplicity of the associations and different stand taken by the selfish leaders of particular association opposing recommendations of Khan committee on above two points has become hurdles in resolution of Standard Pay Scale and then Pay parity as resolved by CWC Kolkota.

Now, SNEA MH is optimistic that with results of referendum process, the multiplicity of associations in BSNL will be eliminated and SNEA will be the Majority Representative Association in BSNL and after completion of formalities of recognition on basis of results at least from January 2017 onwards, SNEA will get free hand to give practical solutions to all the pending HR issues of executives and here TOP Priority will be given to stop the pay loss of all JTOs/JAOs in time Bound manner.

In another good & strong development over the period, SNEA MH has got mass support of majority of affected JTOs/JAOs and we can firmly say that more than 80% such affected executives are with SNEA and hence removal of disparity of all these comrades is the responsibility of SNEA and it will be resolved in committed manner. Now the percentage of members of SNEA and mainly the strength of such affected JTOs/JAOs with SNEA MH will be decided by results of the first membership verification process.

There may be some division of votes due to misleading information being spread by certain leaders, but the votes casted in favour of agenda based association AITEEA which is claiming for issues of JAOs/JTOs recruited after 2007 , will be clearly visible and marked as votes of the JAOs/JTOs recruited after 2007. It is fact that at any cost AITEEA will not cross the benchmark of minimum 35% votes (15306 out of total 43738 Votes)   and hence the every vote casted for AITEEA will be counted against the Majority association and if from Maharashtra Circle certain votes goes to AITEEA then, voice of SNEA MH will not given proper response quoting this division of votes. There was no harm in casting vote to AIEETA, if it would have some chances of being elected as “Majority Representative Association in BSNL”, but the facts are crystal clear. All the JTOs/JAOs are well aware that this Pay parity issue can be resolved by only by Majority Representative Association and we are optimistic and many of the opinion polls, mass support of executives in BSNL in different campaign meetings held all over India directly predicts that SNEA will be majority association in BSNL and definitely SNEA will resolve this issue in committed manner even though some of votes of these JTOs/JAOs are casted to single agenda association AITEEA.

But if none of votes or minimum votes are casted to AITEEA, then we SNEA leaders will get full confidence that all these young & affected comrades are with SNEA in full strength and will continue our fight for right in full swing.

It is sincere appeal to all the JTOs/JAOs who are facing pay loss in thousands of rupees per month, please cast your precious vote on 07/12/2016 on Sr. No. 9 for SNEA and be assured for desired results in days to come. 

Comrades, we have nothing wrong to accept that earlier to this the involvement of these affected comrades in overall SNEA activities was less and the issue of Pay Parity was not given proper understanding, but now days many of the affected JTOs/JAOs are taking active part in SNEA activities and hence we have got detail feedback on this issue. The most prominently we have been updated on this issue by many of young District Office Bearers and activist of SNEA in Maharashtra Circle.

 3 DEC 16:  Dual stand of some Associations leaders by making appeal to cast vote and  creating doubts on referendum process itself: Comrades, we are reaching last stage of the referendum process and within two days we have to cast our precious vote and decide the Majority Executive Association in BSNL on 07/12/2016.  

·        This is period of campaigning by leaders of all associations and leaders of some of associations have accepted fact and maintaining silence, but some of leaders are misleading the voters by giving wrong information and taking dual stand on referendum process. One should understand that some of the associations and their leaders are working in dual stand which is visible from their actions.

·        One side AIGETOA, which is not participant association, is appealing to the DR Comrades to vote for the AIBSNLEA creating picture that it is the only association for DRs just because of AIGETOA & AIBSNLEA has MoU for leaders. 

·        Even though, there is so called MoU in existence, both the Associations have applied separately for applicant association referendum process and BSNL management has rejected the application of AIGETOA as it do not fulfil the eligibility conditions for becoming Recognised Association in BSNL. Now only prominent leaders, not all leaders, of AIGETOA are not only appealing, but approaching DRs in big Cities to cast their vote in favour of AIBSNLEA.

·        It also has been propagated by AIGETOA leaders that later leaders of AIGETOA will fight with BSNL management for having separate association for Direct Recruits in BSNL as that of ITSA.

·        If one has to fight for such separate association for DRs, then there should not be participation by AIGETOA in Membership verification and instead of participating in it by appealing DRs to vote for AIBSNLEA, but appeal would have been made to DRs to boycott the 1st membership verification process.

·        Once all executives cast their vote, then there is no chance of having separate association and only due to these facts ITS officers created hurdles in referendum process and have got separate approval for ITSA before referendum process of association. Hence with completion of Election process, the chance of completion of hypothetical dream of having separate association is not possible.

·        Further you can see that AIGETOA is further cheating to all DRs as well as BSNL by taking extreme opposite step as the leaders have approached the different Hon.  Courts demanding for immediate stay on this first membership verification process. Unfortunately such gimmicks played within  BSNL and used for misguiding DR executives cannot stand in any of the Hon Courts and in about all court cases files by AIGETOA their petition are either dismissed immediately or though petition is accepted by Hon Court stay is not granted as desired by these leaders.

·        During last hearing at Hon CAT Cuttack, the bench questioned the applicants in the case why you are approaching different courts.

·        Thus it is evident that AIGETOA is in dual stand and they have accepted their defeat before fighting the membership verification process and under fear of defeat are trying to get stay on the very important process and not ready to openly face the referendum and accept the support of members whatever it may be.

·        Similar is the case, with AIBSNLEA as they have MoU with AIGETOA and definitely for such applications in Court for staying process, AIBSNLEA is indirectly supporting the request for stay on verification process.

·        In similar attempt to stay the referendum process, Bahujan Executive Association has approached Nagpur bench of Bombay High Court, but its application was dismissed on first hearing itself.

·        AIBSNLOA also approached Hon. High Court Chennai requesting for stay on 1st membership verification process, and even though application is admitted stay is not granted on process of First Membership Verification of Associations.

·        Thus it is crystal that these associations have done correct assessment of their position after results  and making all out efforts for delaying the referendum process which is important process for eliminating multiplicity of the associations in BSNL.

·        Important point is that, when DRs are being appealed to cast vote in favour of their association in First Membership Verification process through appeal on website & Whats App groups, the matter of such court cases are deliberately kept away as “Top secretes” from the members/voters and making attempts to fool the esteemed members but fact is that members are always wise and take decision as they deem fit.  

·        As such,  all the voters are requested to be alert and keep themselves away from the  leaders of associations having hidden agenda of self benefit and understand the reasons behind such dual stand and do not expect anything positive from the leaders of associations who have lost confidence and are now adopting different ways of staying this membership verification process.              

·        Be alert, Be Vigil, Vote for SNEA, Vote for BSNL.

·        Vote for majority Association, Vote for SNEA.

 

 2 DEC 16: DGM SEA BSNL CO calls for comments of IFAs of all Circles on integration of all HR units in BSNL i.e. HR units of Telecom, Finance, Civil, Electrical and Architecture wing at BSNL CO. Letter  <<<>>> Pers Cell Letter <<<>>>

·        With these initiatives, the units dealing with transfer posting of executives of all wings i.e. Finance , Civil, Electrical , Architecture wings will be merged with Telecom wing and after this integrations as per scheduled given in letter by Personal Cell , all  transfers orders of all executives will be issued by this unit merged in Personal Cell.

·        Integration of Civil & Electrical wing with main stream of Telecom wing is long pending demand of Civil/Electrical wings raised in the different meetings of SNEA. 

·        This integration will be further implemented at Circle and SSA level and this will be important step towards the uniformity of transfer posting of executives of all wings and it will stop the blackmailing practice which is now adopted for executives in units like account wing.

·        As such henceforth no executive should be under fear of transfer under pressure of controlling officers and can vote fearless as appealed by Director HR.

·        Let us hope that this proposal is implemented in Time Bound manner and equal justice will prevails for all executives.

  2 DEC 16: DGM FC Mumbai issued orders for immediate relieving of AOs after completion of Membership verification process. Letter  <<<>>>

·        The original order issued was also wrong as it is issued by violation of transfer policy guidelines and overruling the waiting of request transfers of AOs to Pune.

·        When excess AOs are available in Pune, there was no need of transfer order to Pune and that to be in the interest of service deliberately wasting lakhs of rupees of BSNL.

·        This relieving order also biased treatment is given openly as one of the AO is relieved immediately and other two AOs are given time of seven days.

·        This order seems to be issued in hurry in fear of result of the membership verification of results and if not relived immediately such pick and choose order will have to be cancelled.

·        Let such biased officers enjoy pick and choose transfers for few days, but very shortly all such malpractices will be stopped and hopefully the officers in Account/ Finance wing also well get justice and equal treatment well within transfer policy guidelines at Par with officers in other wings.

1 DEC 16: I have changed my DP, have you? : SNEA Maharashtra feels proud to see that many of SNEA Comrades have replaced their DP on Whats App portfolio by SNEA logo or by SNEA banner/pamphlet /design and are openly expressing their support to SNEA. This is really good idea and branding image of SNEA and SNEA MH conveys sincere thanks to all such devoted and die-hard comrades of SNEA.

By now we are left with just five days before casting of votes on 07/12/2016 and it will be very impactive & impressive to show stronger unity of executives in BSNL under banner of SNEA that other supporters of SNEA should change his/her DP with SNEA logo/ design/ pamphlet and keep it till the result of this MV process on 09/12/2016 and be part of winning team, only Majority Association in BSNL  with proud moments to enjoy victory of SNEA on declaration result of Membership verification process.

All DS/COBs/DOBs/activist of SNEA are requested make such appeal to all BSNL Executives in their SSA /District and friend circle to replace their DP with SNEA DP for next five days and support MV campaign actively.

Yes, I have changed by DP in support of SNEA, have you?

SNEA Zindabad, BSNL Zindabad.

 

1 DEC 16: Casting Vote while on leave: Comrades, some of our female comrades have doubt that when she is availing CCL, is she eligible for casting vote on 07/12/2016 for membership verification of Association in BSNL or not?

Voting is our fundamental right and we should not forgo it for any reason and should not keep us away from this important process of giving proper solution for many of pending HR issues and development issues.

In this regards, it is to inform that there is no relation in casting vote and where executive is on leave on duty as no one will ask or cannot ask you such question at polling booth.

Further, BSNL executive whose name is appearing in voters list  and who has valid & permanent BSNL Identity Card or temporary ID issued with sign, stamp & photo by his/her controlling officer in BSNL can fearlessly  cast his/her vote on 07/12/2016

Hence please note that even though one is on any type of leave including CCL, Medical leave, can cast his/her vote by coming to the concerned Polling booth where his/her name appears. If executive is hospitalised in hospital which is nearby the polling booth where his/her name appears then same may be intimated to DS SNEA concerned, so that he can take permission from doctors in consultation of family members of such hospitalised voter. If medically permitted by doctors and family members and voter is not having serious illness then he/she can be brought to polling booth by ambulance under Supervision of doctors and may allowed to vote with priority over other voters.  After casting vote, he/she can be again admitted in hospital.
Naturally, SNEA MH appeals to cast such precious vote to SNEA and give strength to SNEA for its fight for rights of executives in BSNL. As getting minimum 35% votes i.e. 15306 votes for a particular association out of total 43738 votes is the eligibility criteria for becoming majority association in BSNL and percentage will be counted out of total votes and not on votes casted , the voting by each and every executive is must so that it should not affect the basic condition of this process.

Voting by all executives i.e. More than 96 to 98 % executives will give clean signal for defining “single representative association” in BSNL and will finish out the multiplicity of associations  (existence of more than two associations in BSNL) in the BSNL.
