Meeting with CMD BSNL (28/08/2017):
GS met CMD BSNL and discussed regarding implementation of 3rdPRC with 15% fitment benefit in BSNL.
GS explained him that there are some rumors that BSNL management is delaying the approval of BSNL Board and may propose 0% fitment benefit on 3rd PRC implementation.
CMD BSNL clarified that the committee has prepared the report and shortly proposal will be put up to the BSNL Management committee and thereafter to the BSNL Board for its approval.
CMD assured to recommend 3rd PRC implementation in BSNL with 15% fitment benefit only and he will make sincere efforts to get approved from DOT.
He further mentioned that at this juncture we all should concentrate to increase the revenue of BSNL to get the positive result from DOT in this regard.
Misleading reporting by SNEA on CPSU Cadre hierarchy:-
SNEA on its CHQ website has put some misleading information regarding their negotiation with Management on CPSU Cadre hierarchy.
The fact remains that in the earlier updates of SNEA in its CHQ Website it never mentioned about its stand on CPSU Cadre hierarchy and discussions held with PGM (Pers.). SNEA always mentioned that CPSU Cadre hierarchy is being implemented with the efforts of them. The fact remains that PGM (Pers.) had several rounds of meeting with SNEA before preparing the draft proposal of CPSU hierarchy which he presented to CMD BSNL in the presence of Director (HR) after the consent given by SNEA wherein PGM (Pers.) pleaded non-post based time bound promotions up to SDE/AO level only and post based promotions DE/CAO onwards.
This was not agreed by CMD BSNL and Director (HR) and they directed PGM (Pers.) to modify the proposal to provide non-post based time bound promotions up to DE/CAO grade and post based promotions from DGM and onwards grade.This fact was confirmed by PGM (Pers.) and Director (HR) to AIBSNLEA in the recent informal meetings.
AIBSNLEA stand was always to implement CPSU Cadre hierarchy as per the Khan Committee recommendation only. Now seeing the developments and the stand taken by CMD BSNL and Director (HR) on CPSU cadre hierarchy, SNEA is changing its stand. However, it is good that good sins has prevailed to them.

Need of united struggles for the settlement of wage revision (18/08/2017):
GS replies Shri P. Abhimanyu, General Secretary, BSNL Employees Union, CHQ in reference to his letter number BSNLEU/103 (Forum) dated 10.08.2017 on the subject the need of united struggles for the settlement of wage revision. While appreciating his feelings that the wage revision of BSNL employees is must GS has categorically mentioned that DoT and Government should give a special consideration to dispense the affordability clause of 3rdPRC with reference to BSNL as it is discharging certain important responsibilities on behalf of the Govt. of India by implementing NOFN successfully, NFS and LWE projects assigned to BSNL. BSNL also provides reliable telecom services to customers during natural calamities in the country on priority without getting any extra financial support from the government. BSNL also governs the tariffs in telecom sector and ensure telecom services on affordable rates to the customers.
At present CMD BSNL along with complete BSNL Board is making its sincere and honest efforts for the implementation of 3rd PRC report in BSNL. Hon’ble MoSC (I/C) is also of the same view and making efforts to get the Govt. approval for dispension of the said affordability clause of 3rd PRC report for BSNL. In this connection as per our discussions held with CMD BSNL on 09.08.2017, an internal committee of BSNL officers has been constituted to explore the modalities for 3rd PRC implementation in BSNL with 15% fitment benefit. The committee meeting is over and the report is being submitted shortly which will be placed before the Management committee of BSNL and thereafter to the BSNL Board for approval. As assured by CMD BSNL after the approval of BSNL Board, he will take up the matter in DoT for its approval and issuance of Presidential Directives.
In our opinion, we should closely monitor all these developments and in case we find any difficulty at any level in this regard then immediately we all BSNL Unions and Associations should discuss and decide the strategy to impress upon the DoT / Govt. for 3rd PRC implementation in BSNL through our decisive struggle. We assure our fullest participation in the struggle, if need be.
