ALL INDIA BSNL EXECUTIVE ASSOCIATIONCHENNAI TELEPHONES

AIBSNLEA/ ChTD / 2017-18 / CEC/ 03 Date: 17-05-2017

Respected President,CWC members,circle Office bearers,CEC members,Branch President,Branch Secretaries and my dear Comrades,

I have great pleasure in welcoming you all for this 3rd CEC of AIBSNLEA-Chennai Telephones. This meeting assumes importance since we are having a full-fledged CEC after the resounding MVP victory for us in Chennai Telephones. Comrades, several important events has happened after the MVP and I request one and all to involve fully in today’s deliberations and guide the Circle body to further improve our performance. It is a mere coincidence that this CEC is conducted on this day the 17 th

May that happens to be “World Telecommunications Day”. On behalf of our circle body, I extend a warm greetings and Telecom Day wishes to all.

On the positive side, while we are extremely happy with our show and coming out with flying colors in the first MVP, it is a matter of great concern that the same winning streak could not be sustained PAN-BSNL and finally AIBSNLEA ended up second at CHQ level missing the top slot just by 3.80%. While the obvious decision should have been to accord second majority Association status to us and it was also mentioned by the SR Cell while declaring results, the BSNL Management bowed to the pressure tactics of SNEA and accorded only “Support Association” status to us at All India level and unable to bear this grave injustice, our CHQ is making all out efforts to retain equal status to us also at par with SNEA since none of the Association has crossed the magic figure of 50%. In this case also, I am proud to state that AIBSNLEA-Ch.TD is taking a leading role and we are the first to file an appeal in the court with respect to the MVP issues.

Comrades, I shall be failing in my duty, if we do not recall the effective role played by Com.P.Sangli, our President-in charge during the past few months in running the affairs of our Association. He was instrumental in the entire canvasing strategy adopted by AIBSNLEA-Ch.TD that fetched rich dividends for us. Comrade P.Sangli also played key role during our All India conference at Mysuru. He stands up to the expected qualities of a president for an Association like ours that has varied membership from all areas of operation like Finance,Engineering,Civil,etc., On behalf of AIBSNLEA-Ch.TD and on my personal behalf I take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to our beloved President-in-chrage Com.P.Sangli.

Before submitting the chronological activities for the past period, I am glad to inform that we had two DPC in JAG cadre one each in Accounts & Engineering wings during the intervening period. While 9 out of 11 CAOs promoted as DGM-Finance were retained in Chennai Telephones, 22 out of 32 DEs promoted as DGM-Engg were also got posted in Ch.TD. The postings of our senior comrades in present circle itself could be achieved mainly due to the extensive ground work done by our Circle body with due support from the local Administration and our CHQ. We are also vigorously pursuing the

1

remaining cases of DGM-Engg postings at Chennai itself and hope to get the desired results soon.

Important Events:Our circle was well represented during from16/06/10 to 19/06/16 Recall the Resolution presented by CS AIBSNELA during AIC, Mysuru

The following Important Resolutions are passed in the 1ST CEC meeting of AIBSNLEA of Chennai Telephones held on 10-06-2016.1. At present, the MRS Executive medical checkup is not allowed to the Executives of BSNL. But, the same is allowed to the ITS officers. It has to be extended to all the Executives of BSNL.2. Direct fibre connectivity instead of copper with more attractive BSNL BB plans are needed, as provided by other operators like Airtel, ACT, Cherrinet etc .for providing high speed Broadband service. 3. All the Court cases, which are delaying the promotions of Executives[ JAO to AO, JTO to SDE, AO to CAO and SDE to DE] are to be handled in true spirit, so as to pave way for timely promotion to the Executives of BSNL.4. Though BSNLCO has ordered the CGMs to promote the eligible DGMs to LA- GMs, wherever GM vacancies are there, the order is not being implemented in Chennai Telephones even after repeated perusal with CGM ChTD. The case has to be taken up with CMD for implementation in all circles uniformly.

All over India we got 18,438 votes and SNEA

14

got 20,128 votes. I am satisfied on the stupendous performance of entire AIBSNLEA during the 1st MVP on 07-12-2016. Even though we fell just short of first position, it is a remarkable show of strength on our part and the entire credit goes to our CHQ Team lead by beloved GS Comrade Prahlad Rai.Let us not lose our heart on falling short of expectations, since this happened because of a calculated last minute ditch on the part of our close confidant Sri.R.P.Sahu. It is highly unfortunate that a fighter like Com.R.P.Sahu has fallen prey to black mailing and threat from the other quarters. As I have published in my Chennai site, we have nothing but to sympathize for the so called majority SNEA for having stooped down to such a level. It is also a black spot for an Association like SNEA to take recourse in Sri.R.P.Sahu for a victory. Analysis for failure: However, a self-introspection is also the need of the hour for us to analyze the other factors that might have contributed for the reduction in votes and I observe the following are the probable reasons that might have been the cause for a reduction in our final count. 1. The splitting of votes amongst the DR due to a wrong illusion created in their mind by an orchestrated misinformation campaign that AIBSNLEA is not keen on E2- E3 even though the reality is otherwise. – We need to educate the base level members further.2.The apprehension that being an Association of senior Executives, we may not be vociferous in settling transfer cases under Rule-8 – we must impress them that we are a combination of young and experienced and we are second to none when it comes to the fighting spirit. 3. The absenteeism also has cast its shadow on our votes tally. – This must be taken as a lesson for the future.Points for deliberation:  Further, I would like to place before this august forum, the following points discussed in our CEC at Chennai on 04-01-17 for added discussion and early resolution.Apart from proposed Trade Union activities, we should resort to legal course to get equal status as that of SNEA. To substantiate our views, it must be argued that While SNEA has got 45.32%, it indirectly means that 55% of the Executives are not supporting it, and thereby they have not obtained a simple majority to stay alone. The results must not have been declared Circle wise, if they are to award a Pan India Recognition only. Having declared the results in such a fashion, the simple arithmetic and the principle of natural justice says 17/31 is bigger than 14/31, moreover this demand is also in line with the principle of Federal Structure envisaged in our constitution. Else it amounts to imposing the management’s choice on the voters ignoring their preference in the respective circles.For better coordination and in the interest of all the stake holders in the long run, the resolve to merge AIGETOA with AIBSNLEA (A decision of AIC-Mysore) must be implemented in true spirit and the amalgamation of AITEEA also must be completed soon to make ours a more vibrant organization. Once completed, we can go in for further consolidation by way of merger of more like minded groups viz ABLE, BASE, AIBSNLOA so that we can straightaway outnumber the so called Majority.

DPC from JAO to AO and AO to CAO should be done immediately and orders released before February 2017, since more than 1200 AO Posts are vacant and also it is almost three years ever since the last DPC to CAO was held. Further, posting of CAOs in the same circle wherever vacancies exist is to be taken care of.The promotion of JTOs is held up for an unprecedented period due to Court Cases and we need to intervene effectively so as to render justice for our comrades retiring month after month even without a single promotion spanning over 35 years of service.It is informed that our comrades after assuming charge as DGMs Adhoc are getting one increment but that is not taken in to consideration for their retirement benefit and this was taken up only by our GS earlier but it is still pending for resolution.The assurances given by the then CMD / Dir-HR regarding relieving the officers posted out of circle back to their parent circle exactly after two years of completion of their stay is not honoured in true spirit by the Personnel section and the delay some time exceeds six months. I request our GS to take up the issue and ensure that all officers completing two years of stay outside, are issued with Transfer Orders by the BSNL CO immediately. (It is to be noted that even after issue of BSNL CO orders, the respective circles and SSAs take their own time for relieving leading to heartburn amongst the Executives who have obeyed the orders of BSNL CO.We are constrained to record our displeasure by the way the issue of promotion to DGM-Adhoc from DE cadre for those who have completed 3 years of service in STS was handled. We are of the firm opinion that had we put in more efforts, most of our senior comrades would have got their DGM promotion 9 months back. Hence it is once again reiterated that our GS must use his best rapport with the Management and get the orders released this month itself.On the organization front, we are proud to state that AIBSNLEA-ChTD has taken extreme precautions to ensure victory for us in the 1st MVP and one such activity was the merger of NTEA with AIBSNLEA. Comrades, to conclude, I am fully confident that AIBSNLEA will bounce back like a “Phoenix” setting aside the temporary failure. I also wish to submit that we all should rededicate ourselves with further interest and enthusiasm towards strengthening our Association and concentrate more on membership enrolment. (P.UDAYASURIYAN, Circle Secretary, ChTD )13-01-17: Issues discussed in HRD Branch Meeting regarding Development in Central Area:Haddows Road Branch Emergency Meeting was held on 12.01.17 at HRD during Lunch hour.

SDEs expressed their displeasure and were restless about the negative attitude of DGM and GM Central.Local transfer Order was issued to One SDE during her medical leave against her existing transfer application pending with HR & Admn.

GM Finance and GM(HR & Admn) participated in the function. Circle Secretary delivered inspirational speech.Some key points are given below.For the past two years Chennai was severely affected by natural calamities. In 2015 from Nov 28th to 3rd Dec there was heavy flood in Chennai and in Dec 15th 2016 vardah cyclone devastated Chennai. Our network was badly affected. BSNL CO has not given timely support by allotting replacement for damaged cables and equipment.Customer Service Centre staff and officers who are in the front end to customers should be polite and receive customers with smiling face, treat them cordially, hear their grievances  patiently  for retaining the valuable customers and improve the customer base.Chennai Telephones and CPT SSA is a compact zone and we would have shown more improvement but could not do so as compared to TN Circle which is more vast and consisting of 17 SSAs. Deep study/analysis should be done in this regard.Proper Marketing and wide publicity should be given for BB plans available in BSNL since in this era everything is done through internet. All the institutions and colleges use internet. So irrespective of cadre kindly market 1091 plan.All the service Unions and Associations should educate their members and should work together especially both recognized Unions compromising their comforts/issues for improvement of BSNL Chennai Telephones.    Circle Secretary congratulated all award winners and appreciated the organizers for making the function a grand success.On 15-04-17:  CS submitted letter to CGM,

The Commercial important PRI customers like Apollo Hospital, MRF, PARK Hotel, Income Tax, SBI, Star Health (10 PRIs), SBI, SAIL, BHEL, AMMA call centre, Scope International and Indian Oil are served by OCB Switch.Hence it was decided to request your kind intervention immediately and retain the same SDE LA for maintaining the highest Revenue earning Exchanges in Ch.TD in a smooth manner.

This letter was reflection of the common opinion in the Association, and as a result of the demands of senior members of the Association. Hence, what audacity Secretary of other Associations have to request our members to protest against our GS. On resolution of E1A/E2A with E2/E3, executives will be forced to stay in E3 scale for 10 years and similar anomaly will be created in E3 scale. Hence cascading is the only solution.

CS gave a fabulous speech on the reasons of deterioration of BSNL.         Our Services are majorly concentrated across the villages of India, focussing on the service not on the profit. Other private sector companies are focusing only on the profit and giving services in urban areas only. During 2006, BSNL had a revenue of Rs.40,000/- Crores and a profit in the range of Rs.8000/- to Rs.10,000/- crores. In 2010, it met with loss for the first time in history. In between, in 2007, RS.450Lash Tender for development of GSM /Procurement of Equipment’s was cancelled and in 2009, Rs.930 Lakh Tender was cancelled. Due to this we were unable to compete with other Telecom companies in terms of technology.        No development activities are done from 2007 in BSNL. Overseas Communication Services were also taken from BSNL.  At Chennai, Uttarakhand and J&K when flood came BSNL was the only telecom company to give timely service to its customers, with least disturbance.       After BSNL was formed in 2000, around 1.5Lakhs Employees retired and only 30,000 employees were recruited.              Presently talks are about huge loss of MTNL and how to dispose MTNL. On one side plans are for how to merge loss making PSU MTNL with BSNL. On the other side it is planned to form a new Tower company by taking over 61000 towers out of 75000 BSNL Towers. Slowly the hidden agenda of bringing BSNL to sick PSU list is carried out and it has evidently come out now.It is underlined that until Unity of BSNL Associations and Unions is there, none of these hidden agenda are going to be happened in BSNL.Members of AIBSNLEA attended in the demonstration in large number.30-03-2017:- United Forum…..E1A-E2A…29.03.2017: Protest against lowering of equivalent cadres: United Forum of BSNL Executives Associations AIBSNLEA, AIGETOA & AITEEA strongly protest against the notification of DoT OM dated 28.03.2017 wherein pay scales of JTO/JAO, SDE/AO & equivalent cadres have been lowered arbitrarily, which will seriously demoralize & de-motivate the executives in BSNL. We express our strong resentment against the DoT decision & failure of BSNL Management in this regard.United Forum of Executives Associations will shortly finalize the protest actions against such demoralizing act of DoT / BSNL.

It is unfortunate that the matter has been mis-handled by some executives Associations by giving a call of agitation & withdrawing without any fruitful outcome. It has strengthen DoT to ignore the protest of BSNL Executives. The fact remains that efforts were taken by the same executive associations to sabotage the outgoing agitation call given by United Forum of BSNL Executives Associations in the month of Dec., 2016 and Jan., 2017 and they impressed upon the BSNL Management to victimize the CHQ/Circle/Distt. level office bearers of United Forum by issuing the memorandum & deduction of salary for two days i.e. 27th & 28th Dec., 2016 for participating in Dharna programme. These actions has strengthen the BSNL/DoT management to conveniently ignore the genuine grievances of executives in BSNL.Hence, United Forum has to decide its own course of actions to protest the interest of entire BSNL Executives community rather coming under the trap of so called executive associations to further damage the interest of executives of BSNL.Let us decide & keep ready for the conclusive struggle to show the strength of executives in achieving the settlement of legitimate demands.DoT issued Presidential order dated 28.03.2017 for E1A and E2A pay scales for JTOs, SDEs and equivalent cadres30.03.17: Circle Secretary met GM HR & Admn regarding development   activities. Circle Secretary met GM HR & Admn on 28.03.17 on courtesy meet and discussed various development activities of ChTD. Few important points are highlighted below.1. Shortage of SDE /JTOs at various places needs to be fulfilled.2. Request transfer cases of SDEs has been pending for years together. CS requested to take up the transfer cases at the earliest.3. Modification order is requested for DE like other DEs/AGM orders.4. JAO vacancies are available in Chennai Telephones. Officials (Sr.TOA(P) & (G) and TTAs) who have passed LICE 40% competitive JAO Exam should be accommodated.GM HR positively responded and intimated that he will take up this case with Corporate office.

It is matter of pride for us to state that AIBSNLEA always make it a point to attend any function organized by the Administration and our CS actively participated in the Independence Day, Republic Day and Ambedkar birthday functions. During all these events, our voice was carefully listened by the senior officers present.

Before winding up, comrades I wish to submit that a detailed report on the activities are putforth before this august body to study, analyse and come out with solutions and methods to be followed for still better performance. Further, I also appeal one and all here to pass on the message of need to maintain unity amongst us at this crucial juncture and strengthen the hands of Circle body as well as CHQ by way of increased membership. The MVP is a continuous process and we must be always alert to ensure that our strength is maintained and regularly increased to achieve genuine cause of our cadre.

With Best wishes,26
