Is this way for unity?

 

Why two executive unions went to meet CMD, New Delhi when Joint Forum gives call unitedly to do demonstrations on 15 03 10.?

Why other unions were not called by CMD?

If CMD decides, is not the bounden duty of unions who were called by the CMD to take other unions for discussions on Pitroda Report.?

This is a burning problem which is unsettling the minds of all BSNL employees whether  they are exeuctive or non exeuctive. 

Pitroda committee has set the ball rolling in the courts of the all the unions/associations in BSNL to get united and save BSNL. 

All the moves taken by the forum must see that all the unions are represented in the meetings, take decisions constructively and do good for the employees, BSNL and to all the  public who are getting all benefits because of BSNL. If private operators started to control the telecom market, just imagine what will be in store?

The disinvesment process is just simply to sell the BSNL assets which are valued very low in the market. 

Let us all fight jointly to save BSNL . 

By taking decisions,meeting the higher ups with two or three unions will only pave for disunity among the employees. 

Let all take the pledge to fight together to save our company.

The portion below is from SNEA site for the viewers to see what is happening around us. 

Sam Pitroda Committee appointed by Hon. Prime Minister had submitted its report to the Hon. PM. The Govt sought the views of BSNL Board on various recommendations of the committee. CMD, BSNL called a meeting of SNEA(I), AIBSNLEA and BSNLEU (BSNLEU couldnot attend the meeting as their CHQ office bearers are out of Delhi) on 12^th March and briefed on the various recommendations of the Committee and BSNLs views on the recommendations as various conflicting paper reports are appearing in the press regarding BSNL Boards decision on disinvestment, VRS etc. Some of the recommendations such as unbundling of last mile copper, disinvestment, VRS etc has to be opposed as it will not solve the problem faced by BSNL. There are some positive recommendations also such as induction of professionals, completion of ITS absorption in a time bound manner, change of procurement policy, introduction of managed capacity, induction of young talents etc. BSNL Board submitted the following views on various recommendations.    

Recommendations of Sam Pitroda Committee	BSNL Boards view
Enhance the quality of Senior Managers by inducting 30 to 50 professionals from outside on Market rate.	Agreed
Bifurcate the CMD post and post separate Chairman and MD/CEO. Appoint an eminent person as Chairman.	It is up to Government.  BSNL has no objection.
Composition of BSNL Board has to be changed. --- from within BSNL only one member should be there in the Board and remaining members should be professionals from outside.	Partially agreed, Business heads like CFA, Mobile, Enterprises, HR, Fin also should be Board members
Complete the ITS absorption in a time bound manner.	Agreed, Govt. has to decide the time frame.
Interaction from Ministry should be through Chairman / Board only	Agreed
CTO & CIO should be appointed.	Since business heads are acting as CTO, separate CTO not required. CIO and CMO (Chief Marketing Officer) to be appointed.
Reduce the staff by 1 lakh though VRS	Within 5 years, 60000 employees are retiring at an average on 12000 per year. So even without VRS, the target population is getting retired. VRS will involve following challenges: 1)   Stiff opposition from Unions and Associations. 2)    VRS will give negative sentiment. 3)    Good people will take VRS. Still Govt feels that VRS is required, the area / cadre to be identified from which VRS has to be implemented and the entire financial assistance has to be borne by the Govt.
Disinvest 30% at appropriate time in stages	BSNL Board already approved 10% disinvestment through Employees Stock Option and Govt has to take a decision on that.
Unbundle last mile copper wire	Not agreed, BSNL will go for franchisee model to have maximum BB penetration.
3 years  fixed term for the professionals appointed.	Agreed, to be extended to other appointments also.
Introduce performance based organizational structure	BSNL already initiated the process and GPMS introduced
Induct young talents in the organization.	Already process is going on
Advisory Board to be formed.	If it is formed, it may be in advisory body without any overriding powers.
Change procurement policy by introducing e-tendering etc.	Agreed.
Enhance market share by introducing new market strategy.	BSNL already initiated.
Explore new market expansion.	Agreed.
Provide 30 Million BB connections in 3 years.	BSNL explore all the possibilities.
For subsidiary company for infrastructure sharing such as tower etc. Form separate land bank.	BSNL already started sharing of passive infrastructure such as tower. In the case of land bank, first the land has to be transferred from Govt to BSNL.
