• 16-09-2011: BSNL's proposals of VRS sent to MOC & IT, dated 12-09-2011

  VRS ? >>>>> leading CRS! 

• 16-09-2011: In the CWC Jaipur, the issue of VRS is discussed in length and it is decided to oppose the VRS in toto. Some associations /unions are spreading the rumors of VRS. The fact is, DOT asked BSNL management to send proposals of VRS for 1 lakh employees as suggested by the BRPSE. But, the BSNL management could only send proposals for 20000 employees. DOT asked BSNL to again reconsider the proposals for 1 lakh employees. BSNL sent a proposal on 12-09-2011 and even after opposing the proposals of VRS by BSNL EU, the management again wanting the discussions on the same subject to be continued with BSNL EU.

                       With all these, adding some 'aphrodisiac masala', some of us, are spreading the rumors of VRS. Their argument is 'To save the ship, some excess weight i.e some body should dive into the sea or thrown out of the ship into the sea'. Who is first? Only weak. Stronger will survive. What about weaker and their families. Most of us are well aware of the fact that VRS will always lead to CRS. The aftermath of VRS and its tremendous ill-conceived effects are palpable in our present society. Whether 'Golden Hand Shake' given to bank employees or Gujarat pattern VRS or Allwyn. Even with an average of 22 lakh rupees (presently worth of 60 lakhs), Only 30% of the employees opted for the VRS are financially and socially sound. The rest 70% families were destroyed to the rubble. Even the employees who were taken VRS from Banks, even with a lot of planning and financial discipline, landed in serious bankruptcy. Some families committed suicide. Beware of VRS. It is ploy of the politicians to hand over the asset-rich PSUs to the multi national companies. Compulsory Retirement Scheme comes with VRS. Neither gone on VRS nor working will survive. Do not succumb to venomous thoughts. Beware.
