Rumors  spread by NFTE

22-07-2010: Rumors were spread by NFTE stating that 500 BSNL EU members in Andhra Pradesh migrated and joined NFTE. No BSNL EU Member joined in NFTE. BSNL EU membership in AP is more than 16000 and NFTE membership is below 5000. It is a fact that employees are not fools to stay with a 'Sinking Ship'. They are aware of the fighting spree of BSNL Employees Union, it's policies and more confident ever on its leadership. These rumors are only to boost the morale of their ready-to-quit employees. Very hard try to retain their membership.


Settlement of major issues like wage revision and promotion policy for non-executives, is driving many employees towards BSNL Employees Union, looking forward for a stronger Union to safe guard the interests of BSNL and it's 3 lakh work force.

  • 07-07-2010: JAC Leaders meet BSNL Commmittee for 78.2% IDA merger On 06.07.2010, the JAC leaders met the committee, which has been formed by the BSNL management to recommend on the 78.2% IDA merger.

Congratulations to CHQ for the magnificent wage revision !

 

New salaries are paid in all SSAs, as per the wage revision orders. Greetings are pouring in congratulating the Union for the magnificent achievement even after the workers feeling that their wage revision is delayed. Is it really delayed ? No. Only in very few PSUs among 240+ PSUs, wage revisions are done. In many PSUs including Maharatna PSUs like ONGC, NTPC etc., wage negotiations are going on. Even in MTNL, the other telecom PSU, after protracted tripartite discussions between Labour commissioner central, Management and Unions, agreement was made on 12th May.

In BSNL, when negotiations are going on with the management, many hurdles were created by some anti-worker unions to hamper the process of wage negotiation. Some unions played tooth and nail to side track the workers with a declaration distributed among the workers to accept for 10 years periodicity and fitment offered by the management. Some unions spread the malafied news linking the wage revision to the recognition elections.

Even though we got our wages revised during 2002, those were only migration scales from Central govt wage structure to a PSU. Since this wage revision is the first wage revision as a PSU, as promised earlier, BSNL Employees Union has got the responsibility of striking a better wage revision agreement with safe guards and  bench marks setup for the future wage revisions.

That too, in any wage revision agreements, achieving scales without stagnation is a Herculean task in close ended scales. This is achieved in this wage revision. Many workers who were suffering from the stagnation of scales and lost their increments from 2007, got full benefit of this wage revision and greeting the union for the exemplary achievement, congratulating all the leaders in CHQ, especially Com P Asoka Babu, DGS from AP Circle who as a member of the wage committee played an important role in the wage negotiations to achieve and strike better wage revision agreement.

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.
