Listing,Disinvestment,VRS in BSNL-The Hindu 12 12 12
Further, the Telecom Commission felt this was not the
opportune time for listing and disinvestment of BSNL, as the company was
on a downward performance path and disinvestment might not realise the
true value of the company. In the absence of listing, option of giving
stocks as incentive to key management is also not available.
On the
issue of VRS, the panel said that VRS across the board might not be
required; BSNL could examine option of VRS for select categories,
examining financial burden and cost/benefit of the company.

All Unions meeting on Recognition Rules.19 11 12.
The
All Unions meeting,convened by BSNL Management on
Recognition Rules, took place today the 19-11-2011.
Management gave it’s proposals for
framing its recognition Rules. It contains many
retrograde proposals, which requires in depth discussion.
It will take a least a few more months to finalise the new
recognition rules, based on these proposals. Since the
recognition period of BSNLEU will lapse on 13-02-2013,
there will not be any recognized union for the
Non-Executive employees thereafter. Such a vacuum will be
detrimental to the interest of the employees.
It seems
that Management also wants such a situation.We cannot
allow such a situation to arise. Hence, Management has to
immediately start the process for conducting the 6th
Membership Verification. In view of this, BSNLEU demanded
that the 6th Membership Verification should be
conducted based on the existing Code of Discipline and
thereafter the new recognition rules can be finalizedby
holding threadbare discussions.
On hearing the views,
Management side stated that unions can give their view
points in writing within the next ten days.
The following
are the proposals given by the Management for new
recognition rules.

Gear up preperations for conducting One Day Strike successfully on 16.11.2012.
The United Forum has given call for conducting One Day
strike on 16-11-2012. The strike is to condemn the brutal
murder of com.Sukendar Pal Singh, District Secretary,
BSNLEU,Gaziabad, and also to demand the immediate arrest
of Adesh Kumar Gupta, GM,BSNL, Gaziabad and other accused,
for the murder. As every one knows that CHQ has taken all
possible measures to ensure the arrest of the accused. But
the DoT officers as well as BSNL Corporate Management are
not prepared to take any action on the accused Adesh Kumar
Gupta. In fact, they are supporting and shielding him. No
one knows to what extent top officers are benefited from
Adesh Kumar Gupta who is involved in massive corruptions
in Gaziabad SSA. Under these circumstances, we are left
with no other option but to successfully implement the
call for One Day Strike on 16-11-2012. Circle and District
Secretaries are requested to immediately swing into action
to make the strike a historic success and to teach lesson
to the Management which has closed it’s eyes to the brutal
murder.

ITS issue - courtesy SNEA 07 11 12.
Status on ITS repatriation case at Hon Delhi HC:
At the very outset ASG representing UOI made submission before the Hon bench that a proposal to repatriate unabsorbed ITS from BSNL /MTNL progressively within a time span of 10 years is under the consideration of Group of secretaries and that will very shortly send to the Union Cabinet. On this submission of ASG, Hon Bench observed that "We are not concerned with what cabinet is to decide and the 10 year time period is absurd". Our Counsel informed the Hon bench that last time the plea of BSNL / MTNL to grant extension of 25 months was rejected by the bench and this time they are asking time for 10 years. At this the Hon bench observed “even now we will reject it”.
Counsel for the respondents (ITS) submitted that they have to be formally relieved from BSNL/MTNL immediately ending “deemed deputation” and thereafter they can be taken back to BSNL/MTNL on “deputation” which is legal. This is strongly opposed by our counsel quoting the DOP&T OM which strictly forbidden such deputation. Hon Court also observed that “this is nothing but the present situation going on” thereby ending the possibility of their entry through back door on deputation.
Finally Hon bench directed Counsel for UOI, BSNL/MTNL to relieve all unabsorbed ITS by 15th Dec failing which UOI should submit a detailed proposal. The case is posted for 18th Dec:’12.
