Celebrate BSNLEU day on 22nd March 2014

On 22nd of March 2014, BSNL Employees Union will be completing 13 years. Formed on 22nd March 2001 at the National Convention of Telecom Employees at Visakhapatnam, called by the progressive unions in the newly formed BSNL,  BSNLEU during the last 13 years have grown to become as the biggest union. It was the only recognised and representative union in BSNL since the second Membership Verification in 2004 to 2013, till it took initiative for grant of recognition to a second union also.

During the last 13 years of its existence, BSNLEU has been able to achieve two wage agreements for the employees, a new Promotion Policy as also many other achievements. It has taken the lead fight against disinvestment and privatisation and stopped the government from selling its share. It has taken initiative in forming the Joint Action Committee/Forum  of the Associations/Unions of Executives and Non-Executives which has organised many struggles and strikes to save BSNL and improve its services as also on the demands of the workers. The workers have rallied around BSNLEU due to its sincere and committed functioning. It took initiative in forming the organisations for the Pensioners (AIBDPA) and Casual, Contract Workers (BSNLCCWF) and jointly fought for settling their issues. BSNLEU has also done its due role amongst the PSU Unions. Now it has also taken initiative to form the Joint Action Committee of Non-Executive Unions/Associations for focusing and organising struggles for settling the urgent demands.

Another achievement of the union is the purchase of a new union office building at New Delhi at Shadipur area. The building has been purchased and was inaugurated on the BSNLEU Day, 22nd March 2012. The purchase could be made only due to the whole hearted support of the members throughout the country. The purchase was made by the balance amount in the union accounts and a loan of Rs. 1.5 crore from the bank. CHQ has called for further donations and we are sure that the members will donate generously again to repay the loan. By purchasing the building within 2 years of taking the decision in the Thiruvananthapuram All India Conference, CHQ has been able to fulfill the long cherished dream of the BSNL workers.

We have been celebrating the BSNLEU Day every year by organising some social service like blood donation camps, helping the poor school children by donating uniform and books and dresses to the poor and old etc.

BSNLEU has grown to the present position only with the wholehearted support of our members and well wishers. Let us observe the BSNLEU Day in a befitting manner.

Massive Marches to CCA/CGM Offices by AIBDPA

The Pensioners have become militant. It is clear by the massive marches organised by the All India BSNL DOT Pensioners Association (AIBDPA) today, 28th November 2013, in all the SSA HQs and also CCAs demanding settlement of the 23 Points Charter of demands. As per the reports received massive participation , was seen. BSNLEU leaders and workers also participated in most of the centres.
The BSNL authorities as also the DOT (CCAs) should ensure that the justified demands of the senior citizens who have worked their entire active life for the service of the nation should be conceded with out further delay.

AIBDPA calls for CCA/Circle Office March on 28th November on Pensioners’s issues

As per the decision of the Jaipur central executive committee meeting of AIBDPA held on 5-6th october,2013,we have already conducted the protest day on 25th October by holding demonstrations at district/circle level and sending fax messages to the minister for communications and Secretary, DOT most successfully on the 23 point charter of demands, focusing 78.2% IDA fixation.

On the initiative of BSNLEU, the CMD, BSNL wrote a DO letter to the Secretary, DOT clarifying the exact agreement provision with regard to the arrears of 78.2% IDA fixation, since the DOT order dated 10-06-2013 has a clause which stated “no arrears will be paid”.

These developments had the desired result and the DOT approved pension revision based on 78.2% IDA merger and sent to the pension department for their approval. However the file has not been received back to DOT. BSNLEU is pursuing at the pension department for early approval.

Meanwhile we have to implement the second programme of the Jaipur CEC,march to CCA office /Circle office with maximum participation.

BSNLEU has been demanding that a new PLI formula should be framed, in consultation with the Staff Side of the National Council. In the last meeting of the National Council,  it was agreed that the Secretary,  Staff Side and Leader, Staff Side will be members of the Committee.  Accordingly,  the Committee has now been formed.

1st October - BSNL Day

BSNL will be completing 13 years of its existence on 1st October 2013. It was formed on 1st October 2000 as part of the neo-liberal policy of the Government with the intention of gradually disinvesting and privatising the same. The Telecom Unions under the banner of National Action Committee led by AITEU. Class III (N) organised two successful strikes and other agitational programmes against corporatisation. Then recognised Federations, NFTE and FNTO went on strike in the last moment but made an agreement with the DOT accepting corporatisation. Thus BSNL was formed on 1st October 2000.

What happened during the last 13 years are well known to all. The company was running well and improving its position. The government and the private sector which thought that BSNL will crumble down on its own were disappointed. When they realised that BSNL is strengthening they started the operation to weaken and destabilise it. Government support on financial viability was stopped, the procurement process was destabilised and along with the same, many actions were taken to favour the private companies and against the interest of the incumbent operator, BSNL. The government decided to disinvest BSNL, but the Joint Forum by going on strike defeated the same. On the strong opposition from JF, VRS could not be implemented. But the anti-PSU policy of the government and the lethargic working of the ITS led management resulted in continued loss for the company for the last four years. The Forum of BSNL Unions/Associations is making all out efforts to pressurise the government and BSNL Management to take pro-BSNL decisions and implementation of the same. It called upon the workers to improve the customer services. The National Convention on Revival of BSNL held at New Delhi on 3rd August adopted a Declaration with proposals and suggestions for strengthening the company and for a better service to the customer. This process is continuing.

And now the 13th anniversary of the formation is coming. Let us continue our work to improve the service and pressurise the management and the Government for taking suitable decisions for strengthening the company.
Best Wishes and Greetings to all the BSNL workers on this 13th Anniversary of BSNL.

6.6% IDA increase from October 2013

It is reported that BSNL employees will get an increase of 6.6% IDA with effect from 01-10-2013.Accordingly the total IDA from October 2013 will be 78.9 + 6.6 = 85.5%. The order is expected soon. Pensioners will also be eligible for 6.6% IDR increase. It is only a few days back that the Central government issued orders for 10% DA increase for CG employees w.e.f. July 2013. While the PSU employees get increase of IDA every three months, for the CG Employees, it is once in six months.

JAO Examination - Letter to CGM to publish the result of balance vacancies of JAO examination (click here)

BSNL Corporate Office, vide it’s letter no. BSNL/7-9/SR/2013 has given direction to all the CGMs of BSNL not to allow demonstration, dharna strike and other forms of protests in BSNL premises. The letter says that such protests can be held only in a designated place. This is nothing but an attempt to stifle the voice of the trade union movement in BSNL. The order of the Corporate Office unfailingly reminds us of the dark days of emergency, promulgated by Smt. Indira Gandhi. We cannot allow such restrictions. We have expressed our protest to the CMD BSNL. We hope he will take appropriate decision.

BSNL to enter into agreement with two state owned companies of Bangladesh. 

BSNL is to enter into an agreement with two state owned telecom companies of Bangladesh, viz., Bangladesh Telecommunications Co. Ltd (BTCL) and Bangladesh Subamarine Cable Co. Ltd (BSCCL), to establish optical fibre cable connectivity between India and Bangladesh. This decision is taken in a meeting held at Dhaka on 30.07.2013, between the govt. officials of the two countries. As per reports, BSNL plans to lease nearly 100 gigabytes of international bandwidth from the two Bangladeshi companies, to route a chunk of it’s overseas call and data traffic. This agreement will reduce BSNL’s dependence on Tata Communications for routing it’s international traffic.
