Dy CLC meeting- from SNEA.

Conciliatory proceedings with Dy Labour Commissioner: Dy LC called a meeting of Management and Forum of BSNL Unions/Associations on the notice for indefinite strike w.e.f 13.06.2012 as CLC was out of station. Management represented by DIR(EB), PGM(SR), GM(Estt) etc.Forum leaders participated in the proceedings.

 Management continued their earlier stand that the 78.2% IDA merger cannot be implemented now due to the financial condition of the company but salient on the crucial issue, why 100% DA neutralization was implemented for the unabsorbed Group A officers working in the same company and why discrimination? Forum leaders explained in the meeting that 100% IDA neutralization as on 01.01.2007 is nothing to do with todays financial condition and as per the Govt /DPE orders dated 26.11.2008, the profit for the year 2007-08 has to be take into account for the pay revision and on that year, BSNL was in profit with more than 30,000 Crores cash reserve. 

The present crisis occured due to the lethargic attitude of BSNL Mgt and the Govt in procuring equipments, taking prompt decisions and settling policy issues like ITS absorption for which the employees cannot be held responsible. BSNL employees are no way connected with this and they can merely implement the decisions taken by the top Mgt. Almost all the suggestions given by the Assns/Unions for the revival of the company in the last few years simply ignored by the BSNL Mgt and Govt. By non implementation of 100% IDA neutralization w.e.f 01.01.2007, BSNL employees are getting 12.5% less basic pay and salary from 01.01.2007. 

The pension of the retired employees including those retired prior to 01.01.2007 (2000 to 2006) also fixed with 68.8% only instead of 78.2% IDA.

As there is no breakthrough in the discussions, forum of BSNL Unions/Assns appeal to all our activists to make all out preparations for the indefinite strike w.e.f 00.00 Hrs of 13.06.2012.
