The representatives of Forum of BSNL Unions/Associations met Chairman TC & Secy(T), DoT  and submitted  memorandum copy regarding measures to be taken for revival and revitalization of BSNL and MTNL, the strategic Telecom PSUs, to protect the interest of the Telecom Industry as well as that of the public .

Secy(T) appreciated our concern and referring to our discussions held on 04.06.2013, he further told that since GoM are meeting on 11.6.2013 to discuss this issue, the strike call given is not proper. We mentioned that 78.2% IDA pay fixation case recommend by BSNL Board on the basis of an agreement signed on 12.06.2012 between Forum of BSNL Unions/Associations with BSNL Management  is pending in DoT for the last 10 months and now referred to BRPSE for comments whereas, the BRPSE Officers has clarified that since BSNL is not a sick PSU, BRPSE need not to give any comment & it is the concern PSU and administrative Ministry to decide such pay/allowance related issues. We also requested even if the comments are necessarily required he may use his good office to get the early comments from BRPSE for early settlement of the issue to avoid unrest in BSNL. Chairman TC & Secy(T) further   mentioned that he don't want  to go for further discussions on this issue since the BSNL Management has signed the agreement and he assured that he will try to resolve the issue at the earliest and advised us to speak him tomorrow evening on this issue.
