Major Achievement
on Wage Revision
In the meeting of wage negotiation
held today, 17th November 2009, the following understanding
has been reached:
- 30% fitment on pay + 68.8%
IDA
- No periodicity will be mentioned.
Next wage revision for non-executives will be along with
executives.
- Increase of fitment on 68.8% to 78.2%
IDA both for non-executives and executives
simultaneously.
- 3% annual increment
A great start
has been made. The next meeting of the committee will be
held on 19th November to discuss the pay scales and other
issues.
Wage Negotiations – Discussion held on
13.10.2009
After detailed discussion in the Wage
Negotiation Meeting today on 13th October 2009, the Management
proposed the following
30% fitment with 10 year periodicity
with 68.8% IDA for the present, and raising to 78.2% with
executives. If period of wage revision is reduced to
executives, it will be done for non-executives also. There can
be review after 5 years. The Unions demanded review after 5
years without mentioning the periodicity. The next meeting
will take place after Diwali
Wage Negotiations – Discussion held on
09.09.2009
In
the Wage Negotiation Committee meeting held on 08.09.2009, a
lengthy discussion took place on the question of periodicity
of wage revision. While the Staff Side strongly argued for a 5
year agreement, management maintained that only a ten year
agreement was possible. To break the dead-lock, an alternative
suggestion was given by the staff side. The suggestion of the
Staff Side was further discussed today the 09.09.2009, by two
representatives each from the Staff Side and the official
side. Com. V.A.N. Namboodiri and Com. R. Venkataraman were
from the Staff Side and GM (SR) and GM (Esst.) were from the
management side. After prolonged discussions, it was agreed to
place the following suggestion of the staff side for the
consideration of the Management.
"The next wage revision
will be after 5 years i.e., after 31-12-2011,based on DPE and
government guidelines"-NEWS
08-09-2009: Wage Negotiation News

discussed tomorrow

Policy approved by BSNL Full Board on 16th April'09 after much

will be sent to DoT for approval, since new higher pay scales
are being introduced. CHQ is making all out efforts for early
approval- Circle Secretary, BSNLEU
16-04-2009:
Yes! We lack that ‘expertise’ & ‘experiences’ which
NFTE-FNTO boast! FNTO has alleged that BSNLEU has got neither
experience nor expertise to clinch any issue. We agree with
them that BSNLEU does not have that ‘experience’ and that
‘expertise’ to clinch issues. A perusal of the track record
will establish that NFTE-FNTO have sufficiently that
‘experience’ and that ‘expertise’ which we lack. The following
few examples are sufficient for proving this.

Implementation of scheme for various Employees' Loans through

15-04-2009: In the
meeting of the wage negotiation held today, 15th April 2009,
the management proposed that for Five year period agreement,
fitment benefit would be less than 30% but it can be
bargained. Union demanded that the fitment benefit should be
as per executives with five year periodicity also. Management
side proposed three times of basic pay as advance, The Union
rejected it and demanded that it should be a substantial
amount. The official side will discuss with the management
about the demand of the staff side and will hold the next
meeting shortly. The Unions threatened strike if the justified
demands of the workers are not accepted.
Let us be prepared for serious struggle if the management does
not agree for our demands.

as against the 68.8 per cent DA merger announced in November
last year as recommended by GoM. As a result, the total
emoluments on a basic pay of Rs. 100 would become Rs. 231.66
after considering 30 per cent fitment on basic pay + DA +
Differential pay (DP). In the previous decision, this was Rs
219.4. HRA will be effective from the date of issue of order
