           This is very positive development and this is great victory of Kerala Comrades fighting against injustice and corrupt practices and continuously agitating for more than four months.

Com. A. R. Manani, VP SNEA (I) CHQ and Com. M. B. Sangale, JS (W) SNEA (I) CHQ who have started from Maharashtra yesterday to participate in indefinite fast, will reach Delhi today and will discuss further course of action on this matter and will also look into other issues of Maharashtra comrades pending at BSNL CO including change of posting in recent DE Regular promotions.   

25 SEP 14: In order to extend support to the agitation, the following programmes shall be observed at Circle and SSA level. All Circle/SSA Secretaries to make all out preparations. Each and every Comrade of SNEA (I) must participate with toughest determination to defeat sinister attack to destabilize SNEA (I).

29th, 30thSept and 01st October, 2014: Massive Relay Hunger strike at all Circle HQs.

The Indefinite fast at BSNLCO and CO/Trivandrum will continue.

 

25 SEP 14: Day IV: INDEFINITE FAST by CHQ leaders and other activists continues for the 4th day from 22.09.2014:  Comrades of SNEA (I), it is testing and challenging time for each and every Comrade of SNEA (I) throughout the Country to come out with greatest determination and unprecedented solidarity to defeat sinister designs of CGM/Kerala to destabilize our beloved Association because of tough and legitimate stand taken by us on some critical issues. Rise to the occasion and demonstrate extraordinary solidarity. This clarion call is to be responded by each and every comrade of SNEA (I) with unwavering commitment.

GS Com. K. Sebastin, AGS, Com Arvind Dahiya, Jt Secy/South, Com P.Rao and CWC member from Kerala Circle Com MPP Panicker, commenced indefinite fast from 1000 hrs of 22nd Sept at BSNL Co. Also Com George Verghese, CS/Kerala, Com Rajan, CHQ Treasurer and Com Chandrashekar, AGS, also commenced indefinite fast at Trivandrum on 22nd Sept, 2014.

CHQ President, Com G L Jogi, AGS Com Vivek Wankhede, CSs of BSNLCO, NTR/Delhi, TN and UP(West) and other leaders and activists are in the pandal supporting the agitation. AGS Com Pandurang Nayak is at Trivandrum.

Sangale Joint Secretary (West) SNEA(I) CHQ have started today morning and will take part in indefinite hunger strike along with GS & others from tomorrow.    

While CGM/Kerala Circle is continuing his acts of indiscriminate victimizations, there is no intervention from BSNL Management to prevail upon CGM to comply with the terms of negotiated settlement between him and our Association, with the intervention of top BSNL Management. Instead, CGM is going ahead with his acts of victimization even after negotiated settlement.

Com. Padamnabh Rao, Jt Secy/South, felt extremely weak and exhausted and police tried to shift him to govt. hospital. However, he resisted being shifted to hospital and is continuing his fast. In the same way, our CS/Kerala, Com. George Verghese, and AGS Com A Chandrasekhar are also feeling exhausted but is going ahead with his fast in a determined manner. CGM is trying his best to get him forcibly shifted to hospital but our Kerala comrades are determined to defeat his move also.

Comrades, needless to appeal, we are confident that we come out in thousands and thousands, and each and every one of us, to fight this hour of crisis with unprecedented determination and deepest conviction to defeat attack on fundamental right of trade unions to lodge legitimate protest against irregularities and arbitrary functioning.

Ø Massive Lunch hour demonstrations in thousands and thousands have to be held on 26th and 27th Sept., 14 at Circle/SSA HQs.

Ø Each and every Comrade of SNEA (I) must participate with toughest determination to defeat sinister attack to destabilize SNEA (I).

Ø Relay hunger strike by thousands and thousands of Comrades at CGM/HQs is to be held on 29th, 30th Sept. and 1st Oct., 14.

Ø Further programs of action will be decided thereafter shortly since the struggle has to be taken to its logical conclusion.

 

SNEA(I)-Zindabad, Our Unity- Zindabad, Inquilab- Zindabad, Our struggle- Zindabad and BSNL- Zindabad.

Surprisingly she has not made any reference of this letter of SNEA (I) MH and only reference of her earlier letter dated 07/08/2014 is given in this fresh letter. Letter <<<>>>

 

21 SEP 14: AGM Staff Mumbai issued posting order of 167 SDEs/DE Adhoc within Maharashtra Circle on their promotion as DE Regular by posting all of them in same SSA except 14 cases of out of SSA transfers. Letter <<<>>>

           It is seen that sincere efforts have been taken for retention of all DEs including consideration of two own cost request, but displacement of 12 executives is done in random manner without any consideration of nearby SSA criteria normally followed in such mass posting & even in DE L/A also. While posting these 12 DEs some cross shifting is done like Nagpur DE is posted to Buldhana & Pune DE is posted to Bhandara SSA, shifting officers from one corner of Maharashtra to another corner at far off places and it could have been done in better and more suitable manner. 

        When no mercy is shown to any of the 12 officers transferred out of present SSA and DEs with very less stay are also shifted, out of turn and special privilege is granted to Shri. V.P. Kulkarni, DE Dhule/Nashik having highest stay in Nashik SSA, as well as in Maharashtra Circle by posting him at Nashik even though he has been recently transferred from Nashik to Dhule as longest stayed DE Adhoc and his reliever also has joined in Nashik SSA. Circle management has granted such illegal retention by forgetting its own long stay transfer order issued before month and working SSA is shown as Nashik instead of Dhule while in all other such cases working SSA is shown as transferred SSA. Surprisingly Com. V. S. Sonawane, presently working as DE Adhoc Jalgaon & having just one year stay in Jalgaon after his transfer from Dhule is shown working in Dhule SSA and is posted in Dhule SSA. 

The limit of mercy by Circle Management overflows only in case of Shri. V.P. Kulkarni with special favouritism as he is retained by crossing even higher limits of justified DE strength of Nashik SSA. In a blind approach & thump rule by Circle management to accommodate single person, posting has been done by crossing its own rules and procedures, which has been always base for posting of any officer on promotion in any cadre including DE. In same promotion order, for Com. K.P. Kulkarni, presently working as DE Aurangabad, working SSA is shown as Jalna and posted SSA is also Jalna as he is under transfer to Jalna and this is present procedure followed by Circle management and it cannot be changed only for single Kulkarni.

         SNEA (I) MH has already registered strong protest with CGMT MH for such biased approach for single person and requested either for stopping such favouritism with equal treatment to all executives or grant of such undue favour to all 12 officers transferred out of their parent SSA and give them justice at least up to limit of justified posts of that SSA. SNEA (I) MH will continue its protest against such undue favouritism and fight for equal treatment for all executives and we will take up matter in details with CGMT MH either for withdrawing undue favour or to grant such favour to all others.       

 

21 SEP 14: AGM Staff Mumbai issued reliving order for 37 SDEs out of Maharashtra Circle on their promotion as DE Regular. Letter <<<>>>

              It is unfortunate that even though more than 176 post of DEs are vacant in Maharashtra Circle and AGM Staff Mumbai has written letter to BSNL CO with approval of CGMT MH just on 15/09/2014 for retention of all 37 DEs in Maharashtra Circle to fill these vacant posts, the process of reliving has been started within two days of this letter by AGM Staff Mumbai certifying clear vacancies of DEs in MH Circle which has been wrongly taken up by BSNL CO as 80% working DEs. We are still hopeful that BSNL CO will review the working strength of DEs in Maharashtra Circle and will retain certain DEs in Maharashtra Circle. Reliving of all these 37 SDEs who are presently working as DE L/A in one stroke will definitely affect working of BSNL Maharashtra Circle and let us hope that CGMT MH will use his good words with BSNL CO for this case also, which seems to be not used yet and BSNL CO also will respect to the intervention cum request of CGMT of biggest Circle earning highest revenue for BSNL.

At the very beginning he briefed the issue and explained how the matter can be segregated for the various groups of DR executives having single/multiple EPF accounts.

Further he appealed to communicate on the issues as every individual executive may have a little different problem and it may be necessary to take individual efforts.

He also commented on the CPSU cadre hierarchy and functional time bound promotions. Com. Wadhwani, with his deep study on the matters explained the house that how the pay anomaly was generated  and even how the notional increments were denied by the management due to lack of awareness among DR JTOs  and wrong stand taken by other association on the issue. He explained the struggle made by SNEA in particular to stop the pay recovery and bestow E1+5 notional increments to all demoralized young JTOs of the department. He also made aware how fresh recruited physically challenged executives were deprived even of the 5 notional increments and how association fought for their rights. Explaining the basic reason for generation of the pay anomaly he appealed all to keep faith and patience. He gave an example of JTO 2005 batch who also was divided by the tactics of management but how they obtained the fitment after a wait of TWO long years of 2nd Pay Revision Implementation. He explained how CPS cadre hierarchy is necessary and unopposed stand of association to support LDCE, MT and DGM recruitment by BSNL.

*       Com Mahanand Gaikwad, ADS SNEA(I) Pune addressed on various issues of concern including smooth and timely conduction of LDCE, delay in implementation of promotion orders due to various court cases after LDCE result declaration, not acceptable difficult eligibility criteria set by management for the internal candidates aspiring for MT and DGM recruitments and survival of BSNL. Com Gaikwad briefed how it was difficult earlier to obtain a promotion to STS grade when LDCE was not in picture. How SNEA supported LDCE and other associations opposed even though the leaders of those associations appeared and get promoted, but their followers keeping wrong faith not appeared for the examinations and made a great loss of their service opportunities which created a doubt on the stands taken by those associations. He also appealed for not making court cases and follow the better way of internal protest so that everybody can get equal opportunity for promotion. On survival of BSNL he appealed all young executives to take extraordinary efforts to earn money for department and implementing their technical knowledge. He put an example of EB Pune team who is taking a lead role in implementing various EB projects all over Maharashtra and generating big revenue by that.

N.P.Kawade TDM Jalna on 23/08/2014 in his chamber and discussed many of the long pending HR as well as development issues.

Ø Shri. Kawade agreed that due to his health problem he could not grant meeting but his door are always open for discussions and assured that SNEA (I) leaders can meet him any time on any issue. He further informed that many of the issues have been discussed in special meeting held with SNEA (I) Jalna delegation and asked some time for pending HR issues.

Ø We have put forth with TDM how his office is inclined to only one SDE in entire Jalna and how it is reason of harassment for all executives working in Jalna. We put forth issue of intentional delay in reliving of executives under transfer from Jalna and specifically quoted example of demand of money for reliving with change of membership of association and immediate reliving of said officer on payment of certain amount & change of membership and highly objected for such biased approach of management. Shri. Kawade informed that he was not aware of such malpractices & it was only administrative reason to relive said officer. When we put on records facts& figures and steps in which management delayed reliving of officers and how one SDE in close relation with TDM Jalna is demanding money and forcing executives for change of membership if they want favor from management for their genuine HR issues.
