About 78.2% IDA merger

From SNEA site:
 
When the demand of fixation of new IDA scales @ 78.2% was strongly pleaded with Hon'ble MOC, he clearly directed CMD to discuss the issue with executive / non Executive Associations / Unions, failing which he advised us to meet him.

Our Comments: The issue of merger of 78.2% IDA merger with the pay scales of executives and non exeuctives  has to be done by the BSNL Management.
The issue of merger of 78.2% for non executives was all along advocated by FNTO.  Somedays back, DoT has also raised query why it has not been merged with the pay scales. 
It is learnt that the issue of 78.2% IDA merger which was not in the agenda of Joint Action Committee discussions cropped up before the Minister on 20 04 10 during discussions. 
Even at that time, BSNL management said there was no funds to merge 78.2% with the pay scales. The Minister immediately told the CMD,BSNL to look into this matter.If not, all unions can approach the Minister straightaway.
If it is merged with the pay , it is duly only  by virtue of unity among all unions.
Hope unity paves way for merger of 78.2% with the pay scales of executives and non executives.
