30 MAR 15: Removal of disparity among Telecom/Finance & Civil/Electrical wing Executives: Since long the Civil/Electrical wing executives in BSNL are demanding equality at par with Telecom/Finance wing executives. One of the major differences between these wings was promotional opportunities to STS level & above. In Finance & Telecom Wing, the qualification was never bar for promotion to DE/CAO cadre and in Civil/Electrical wing the executives with Qualification of Diploma in Engineering are barred from the promotion of EE & above and only Executives having graduation in Engineering are eligible for such promotions. In many cases second ACP is not granted, in some cases recovery has been done after payments and it has created disparity among executives of equal rank. In recent past, BSNL CO has issued clarification for not giving any powers of EE to such executives even in Looking After arrangements and it was fear created in minds of about all Diploma holders that they will have to work under the executives who have worked as JE/JTO under them and will have to face humiliation. In Maharashtra Circle recently some of executives were given EE LA order and had started functioning smoothly and this order has created fear of withdrawal of all EE LA arrangements. But now it is seen that DoT has issued letter on 11/02/2015, which reproduce the directives of Hon. Court CAT New Delhi and clarifies that the Diploma in Engineering with ten years Technical experience is recognized equivalent to Degree in Engineering and all such executives should be considered for grant of all benefits equally. This will be one step towards the removal of disparity among equally ranked executives in Civil Electrical wing and will also put them at par with executives in Telecom/Finance wing.  Letter <<<>>>

Com. S. A. Sarode, Joint Secretary Vidarbha SNEA (I) MH Circle, while addressing the house appealed all the BSNL recruited to join SNEA (I) MH as SNEA (I) is the only association which is rightly addressing the HR and development issues faced by executives. He narrated how the issues of comrades of Gadchiroli executives were raised on SNEA (I) platform and after consistent persuasion and support of Com. M. S. Adasul, CS SNEA (I) MH Circle; it was resolved by declaration of Gadchiroli as All India soft Tenure immediately after the visit of Com. K. Sebastin, GS and Com.  G. L. Jogi, our beloved CHQ President .This has also helped in resolving the major issue of shortage of executives at Gadchiroli as more and more no. of executives are now joining Gadchiroli without any fear in mind and also many of executives are saved from their transfers to All India Hard Tenures out of Maharashtra Circle.  He appealed all to be more sensitive & vigilant towards the services of BSNL & generate enterprise business ideas in & around their jurisdiction. He asked to concentrate on BB/VPN services, Internet lease line, 3G data traffic because these are key services which are yielding major portion of revenue for BSNL. He explained the contribution of SNEA (I) in resolving the BNG issue. There were  six BNGs at Kolkata having considerably less traffic and were not properly utilized whereas BNG at Nagpur was having excessive traffic due to which subscribers in Vidarbha region were experiencing conjunction in data/low speed. When this issue was pursued to BSNL CO through Com M S Adasul, diversion order of Kolkata BNGs were issued by BSNL CO and Nagpur got one out of these BNGs which has been installed at Nagpur & now catering good no of data traffic. He also touched the issue of EPF and explained how SNEA (I) MH has highlighted this important issue. He appealed to use development tools for better performance and positive results.

Com. S.R. Kalmegh, ACS (East) SNEA (I) MH Circle highlighted the list of HR and development issues taken by SNEA (I) MH Circle. He appreciated the positive gesture of Shri. B. P. Rawat, GMT Buldhana in coming forward and openly listening the grievances of executives of SNEA (I) Buldhana. He specifically mentioned the reason for creation of indifferent feelings in the minds of executives of Buldhana SSA, which is due to communication gap and lack of proper interactions between management and executives working in field. Such type of problems are now been observed in some of the major SSAs because SSA heads are not sitting at the SSA HQ., This is mainly happening due to shortage of SSA heads and there is no one to listen the grievances of executives in all the time since as of now two or more SSAs are being looked after by single in charge sitting at one of the SSA. But he expressed his satisfactions that discussion between GMT Buldhana and executives will definitely lead into resolving misapprehension and GMT Buldhana will definitely keep his word as assured in the meeting and this will create good working atmosphere in Buldhana SSA. He has narrated how SNEA (I) MH Circle is raising the HR &developmental issues like failure of OMCR, ERP, diversion of GGSN traffic to Chennai, mobile merger ,scarcity of materials, finalization of circle transfer policy for executives, quarterly tenure  transfer  etc.

He appealed all to participate in Save BSNL- Save Nation agitational programme to decide the roadmap and future of BSNL. He was optimistic that SNEA (I) CHQ will further strongly raise the issue E2-E3 pay scale, disparity in pay scales of 2007 and other batches, pay anomalies among executives viz, juniors drawing more pay scale than seniors etc. He appealed all to come forward with courage, work hard for BSNL and save the BSNL which is playing important role in telecom sector in terms of controlling telecom tariff and also surveying nook and corner of India giving telecom services in affordable prices.

Com. S.V. Bhad, CP SNEA (I) MH Circle thanked team of SNEA (I) Buldhana for arranging Special General Body meeting in such a grand way. He elaborated the main reason for creation of PSUs in India was to generate employment however gigantic PSU like BSNL is made to loss because of delay in decision, wrong policies and unprecedented favoritism to private companies. Delay in decision making has put BSNL in today awkward position. Key posts like CMD, Director Fin, and Director HR were kept vacant for more than a year. However it was the pressure of Forum of all Unions/Associations in BSNL that post of CMD and Director HR are now filled. BSNL has lost good no of customers while implementing CDR/ERP. Deloitte recommendations are made without any consultation with unions/associations of BSNL and without ascertaining need of customers and employees working in BSNL. He highlighted the efforts of SNEA (I) CHQ for conducting DPCs for JTO-SDE, SDE-DE and DE-DGM promotions. He told how SNEA (I) CHQ is making continuous efforts in removing the discrimination between diploma and degree holder of civil wing which is mainly occurring at the time of their promotions. He appealed all to join Save BSNL –Save nation campaign. He narrated that most of the executives in MH are now joining SNEA (I). Not only JTO/SDE/DE/DGM level officers are member of SNEA (I) but GM level officers are also joining SNEA (I) MH Circle. He shared his experience with practical examples about the difference of attitude of leaders of different associations and how the efforts taken on platform of SNEA are result oriented and helping to the executives in BSNL.

He categorically mentioned how Buldhana SSA has improved its position in MH Circle. Buldhana SSA is not lagging now as misinterpreted. Initially it was 5th/6th from bottom and but now it is at 5th/6th position from top. He specially mentioned that this improvement has occurred because of the joint efforts of all the executives and staff in Buldhana SSA. He told that he has never tried to get the work done forcefully and requested all to share their views openly without any hesitations as mutual trust between management and executives is must so as to make Buldhana SSA a top most SSA in MH Circle. He appealed all to have very co-cordial functioning and reassured that full co-operation will be extended from management side. He also pinpointed requirement of a DGM level officer at Buldhana. At last he once again narrated his commitment to improve the telecom services in Buldhana SSA and solicited co-operation from the executives present in the meeting.

Adasul, Circle Secretary SNEA (I) MH Circle, addressed house giving update information on different issues He expressed the need & importance of co-cordial communication among all executives and management for imparting best & quality telecom services to our customers.

He further explained the house about long pending demand of standard of pay scales of executives and efforts being taken by SNEA (I) CHQ,  issues related to demand of 30% superannuation benefits, misleading information about acceptance of mid scales by SNEA (I), issues related to financial viability of BSNL. He appealed all the executives in Buldhana SSA to come together for the improvement of services and image of BSNL and requested all to be vigilant and united for any struggle for betterment of executives and for betterment of BSNL.

Sayyd Illasuddin TDM Gadchiroli, in early morning at 0700 hrs on 18/03/2015, the delegation of SNEA(I) visited BTS at Bothli which is at 7 Kms Distance from Gadchiroli.  It was great surprise to team about the extreme utilization of BSNL resources and team was astonished to know the efforts taken by Team Gadchiroli for installation of new BTS by using available resources in effective manner.

The team efforts of Gadchiroli officers & staff resulted in completion of installation of GSM BTS at two prominent locations namely Bothli & Kotgil of Gadchiroli SSA. When many of the districts are waiting for contractors and vendors for dismantling and redeploying the BTS, this energetic & enthusiastic team of Gadchiroli SSA has created roadmap about how such vendor oriented works can be done by using internal recourses and by using idle/spare equipments.

This team has installed outdoor BTS foundation along with iron cage on both the sites by BSNL civil wing. Then the outdoor BTS cabinets and outdoor battery bank cabinets were installed which were spared after shifting --- BTS to Exchange locations.  Then outdoor power plant and recovered battery banks were installed on the sites. Thus maximum resources used are spare equipment and skillful efforts are made for utilization of BSNL infrastructure.

By these special efforts , Gadchiroli SSA has saved Shelter cost, cost on installation & maintenance of Air Condition and also saved electricity cost as there is no need of Air Conditioning. Being out door BTS only single phase supply has been utilized and a good amount of expenditure on three phase MSEDCL supply is also saved. Further reducing maintenance cost, CFL lamp and three pin socket are provided at each site. To avoid delay in radiating sites, first sites were commissioned on Radio Modem and Bothli site is connected on reliable OFC media. 

The newly installed GSM BTS at Bodhli will cover about nine villages namely Bodhli Alias, Bodhli mal, Bodhli Tukum, Bamhani, Usegaon, Rajgata chak, Rajgata mal, Jepra and Mendha & BTS at Kotgal will cover Kotgal village, Kotgal MIDC, Gonwana University, Nifandra, Mohad chak etc area.  It is important that from both these BTS about 15-20 Erlang traffic on 2G and approximately 10 Gb data downloading on 3G BTS has been handled successfully giving better services to BSNL customers.

      Many times Field Officers mainly in OFC team, GSM/CDMA BTS mtce team and External plats are complaining that when there is justified need of vehicles same are not allotted to concerned filed units for attending different faults causing revenue loss to BSNL, and at the same time many of vehicles are being allotted to the officers for whom the use of vehicle is limited & mainly for family personal use against prevailing guidelines on this subject. This is right time that concerned officer in charge; DS & CoBs concerned take proper initiatives and see that justification is given by their SSA which covers all such critical requirements with detail & supporting documents. Without sending such detailed justification and just crying foul on misuse of vehicles is of no use at later stage and hence all are requested to act immediately.

19 MAR 15: Meeting with Sri A. N. Rai, DIR(HR), BSNL on 13.03.2015: GS and President met Sri A. N. Rai and discussed the following issues:

a.     Switching over to Time bound Functional promotion from the existing seniority based promotions: Now promotions in various cadres held up due to litigations especially in Engg wing. Thousands of SDE, DE and DGM posts are vacant. JTO eligibility list is under challenge since 2009. All the SDE seniority lists (1 to 7) are quashed by the Hon Supreme Court. Promotions in various wings of the same company varies years together. JAO to AO promotion happening in 4 years whereas JTO (T) to SDE (T) promotion is not happening even after 20 years, JTO (C/E) to SDE(C/E) promotion is after 22 to 23 years etc. The uniform promotion policy for all the cadres in various wings is to be implemented as assured at the time of promotion.  Only solution is to switch over to TB functional promotion. The consultant also proposed the same. DIR (HR) assured that serious discussions in this regard can be held in the month of April.

b.    Finalization of pay scales of JTO/JAO and SDE/AO cadres by E2, E3 scales from 01.01.2007: Assn pointed out that even after repeated assurances by the Management and rejection of the proposal by the DPE and DoT, no action is taken by the management so far to finalise the pay scales. The basic cadres are facing the threat of demotion which cannot be accepted at all. DIR (HR) is of the firm view that management is not in a position to consider this proposal due to financial constraints and even suggested that the future recruitment can be in E1 scale.

c.      30% superannuation benefit to BSNL recruited employees: Assn requested to resolve this issue as it is pending since pay revision. DIR (HR) informed that considering the financial condition of the company, 2% to 3% is under consideration of the Management at present which will be reviewed later. Assn requested to reconsider this and work out a mutually agreeable solution for all the stake holders with considerable hike in the percentage.

d.    Transfer from soft tenure areas: Assn requested to clear the confusion on transfer from soft tenure areas on long stay and promotion. The treatment on tenure and soft tenure stations should be uniform for all the purposes to avoid confusion. DIR (HR) agreed to our suggestions and told that uniform policy will be followed for tenure and soft tenure areas on transfer on long stay and promotion.

Comrades, the developments on pay scales, TB functional promotion and 30% superannuation benefits are not at all encouraging. On the other hand Management is not able to promote the executives to the vacant SDE, DE and DGM posts, simply citing court cases. This all compel us to re-launch the trade union actions we deferred in March, 2014 after repeated assurances. Make preparations accordingly.

19 MAR 15: Meeting with Sri Anupam Shrivastava, CMD, BSNL on 16.03.2015: GS, President and both AGSs met Sri Anupam Shrivastava and discussed the following issues:

a.     Switching over to Time bound Functional promotion from the existing seniority based promotions: Assn explained the litigations going on seniority related issues which blocked the promotions in almost all the cadres. The litigations may continue in the future also. Only solution is to switch over to TB functional promotion. The consultant also proposed the same.

b.    Implementation of standard pay scales of E2, E3 from 01.01.2007: Even after repeated assurances by the Management and rejection of the proposal by the DPE and DoT, no action is taken by the management so far. The basic cadres are facing the threat of demotion which cannot be accepted at all.

After discussion CMD, suggested to have further discussion with DIR (HR) on these issues and will have discussions after that.

14 MAR 15: In an unsigned, but this time scanned PDF letter, GM Fin Mumbai writes SSA/Unit Heads on closure of Temporary advances in view of Account Closure for year 2014-15. Letter <<<>>>

        As per this order, for closure of accounts of year 2014-15, Temporary Advances will not be approved/paid from 15/03/2015 and accounts of all such temporary advances granted are to be submitted by 23/03/2015. In special/emergency cases of temporary advances after 15/03/2015, the matter is to be taken directly with Sr GM Fin Mumbai. It is important that 14/03/2015 (Second Saturday) & 15/03/2015 (Sunday) are official holidays, but it is working for Finance wing and hence last date for grant of advance seems to be given as 15/03/2015.  All executives are requested to take note of these directions and act accordingly to avoid difficulties due to non grant of advances at later stage as process of granting Temporary Advances may re-open is first week of April 2015 or later.

      It is good sign that there is slight change in attitude of Sr GM Fin Mumbai and her office in issuing signed letters as this time letter is not uploaded in word format without signature as per usual practice for period of more than one year, but these time with slight up gradation of quality of uploading letters, scanned copy of letter in PDF format is uploaded with remark of ‘sd/-” in place of signature meaning that it is signed copy. This is indication of improvement in working in right direction and its sign of availability of scanner in office of GM Fin Mumbai. Let us hope that in days to come Sr GM Fin Mumbai will issue letters with her signature and our field units will not have to wait for signed copies of letters and can act immediately on the directives in such official letters on intranet portal. This will also save wastage of papers on repeated prints of signed and unsigned copies and will also stop misuse of letters at any stage due to procedure of issuing unsigned copies.

11 MAR 15: AGM Staff Mumbai issued corrigendum to recent order for ban on Rule -8 transfers of JTOs from Maharashtra Circle. Letter <<<>>>

         This was one of the issues raised by SNEA (I) MH during discussions held with Shri. Pravin Malhotra Sr GM HR/Admn Mumbai on 10/03/2015 wherein we have expressed the unrest among the JTOs about the total ban on Rule -8 transfers and withholding of Rule-8 applications in SSAs itself. After discussions, Sr GM HR/Admn Mumbai has expressed the circumstances under which such harsh decision is taken by his office. He was kind enough to review matter for receiving all Rule-8 applications in Circle Office Mumbai and to maintain waiting list register for same and accordingly & immediately corrigendum is issued today for same. As such all SSA Heads and controlling officers will not held up any Rule-8 request transfer applications of JTOs and all the applications will be forwarded with their recommendations to Staff Section Mumbai and staff section will maintain Waiting list register for all such Rule-8 applications.

This is just some relief to JTOs seeking rule-8 transfers and it will be step towards transferency in implementation of Rule-8 request transfers  which are being received in more numbers nowadays and in recent past Circle Office has taken decision not to implement any Rule-8 transfer order due to acute shortage of JTOs. SNEA (I) MH will continue persuasion of this matter with probable solutions and methods for implementation of all these Rule-8 transfers at least in phase manner and at the same time matter will be taken up with BSNL Corporate Office for fresh recruitment of JTOs. In case JTO recruitment is not possible in coming days, then matter will be taken up for relieving of JTOs under Rule -8 transfers by calculating strength of JTO & SDEs together or by adopting any other probable solutions wherein works of BSNL will not suffer to much extent and JTOs asking Rule-8 transfer will also not suffer for long time. Let us hope for the best.

28 FEB 15: BSNL Managements continues to play gimmick with posting of CGMT Maharashtra Circle:  BSNL Management created mockery on posting of CGMT Maharashtra Circle by issuing repeated orders within one week’s period & by posting two different Officers as CGMT Maharashtra Circle. Revised CGMT MH Order <<<>>>

Ø It seems that it has been firmly decided by BSNL management to shift Shri. M.K. Jain as CGM WTP Mumbai, without giving him sufficient times to explorer his talent as CGMT MH Circle. This is approach of BSNL Management towards posting of Head of the biggest Telecom Circle of BSNL and repeated orders and non joining of officers on transfers, giving LA after charge in intervening period and forcefully transferring working Officer to vacant post having practically very less work is best example how careless BSNL management is about posting of Head of biggest Telecom Circle.

Ø In total unfortunate and unwanted approach, the BSNL management continues to play with posting of CGMT MH Circle as since years together  no CGMT is given time of more than one year to function as CGMT MH Circle. In total disappointing manner, the CGMT MH Shri. M.K. Jain was suddenly shifted and posted as CGM WTP Mumbai and Shri. Prabhash Singh, present CGMT ITPC Pune was posted as CGMT MH Circle on 21/02/2015.

Ø But within eight days time, same order has been cancelled and revised order for posting of CGMT MH is issued wherein Shri. Prabhash Singh continues as CGMT ITPC Pune, transfer order of Shri. M.K. Jain present CGMT MH continues as CGMT WTP and Shri. G.K. Upadhayay present CGMT Haryana Circle is posted as CGMT MH Circle.  

Ø Thus BSNL management is creating mockery which is clearly visible from the facts as till there is uncertainty about joining of Shri. G.K. Upadhay as CGMT MH Circle because the Looking After charge of CGMT MH Circle is given to Shri. K.K.Saxena PGMT Pune with immediate effect.

Ø It is important to note that Shri. K.K Sexena has reasonably failed to control even Pune SSA as PGMT Pune as he has not shown much control or involvement in the development & growth of Pune SSA as PGMT Pune which he is heading for last ten months. Many of the officers in Pune SSA did not pay heed to his instructions and so many matters are running in files. Due to his failure to take overall proper control as PGMT Pune, just recently on 26/02/2015, Joint Action Committee Pune had gone for Protest March against PGMT Pune & hold strong protest outside office of PGMT Pune to stop the corrupt practices in Pune SSA. If these are the results as PGMT Pune, how BSNL management expects from Shri. K.K. Saxena to control Maharashtra Circle as CGMT MH in better manner than that of Shri. M. K. Jain is now ‘Star’ Question.  

Ø All these actions and evidences, put big question on integrity of BSNL management about posting of CGMT MH and it will be matter of investigation that how the BSNL management expect best performance of Maharashtra Circle by replacing Shri. M.K.Jain, a reasonably active Circle Head, who was having deep knowledge of working of Maharashtra Circle, who was taking lead on many of development & maintenance issues of Maharashtra Circle and who has taken command on many of issues with desired result to certain extent even though he has very short span of time period of ten months as CGMT MH, with Shri.  K. K. Saxena, as CGMT MH.

Ø Anyhow comrades, we Maharashtra Comrades will have continue our struggle for “Acche Din” and for posting and practical functioning of good and commanding CGMT MH Circle and at this stage we have no option other than to watch & wait this gimmick.

If positive results are not coming, the agitation programmes already decided will be started by mid April. Ground level preparations to start now itself. Since management given repeated assurances but never met the same, serious preparations to be made for the agitation so that the issues are to be decided once for all.

Ø The proposed norms in HR plan are too stringent. Norms has to be framed analysing the ground realities and operational requirements.

Ø JTO to SDE DPC, LDCE to SDE(T) and SDE(TF), SDE(C/E) to EE(C/E), JAO to AO and AO to CAO promotions to be expedited.
