The CHQ office bearers and Circle Secretaries of the Association met at Hyderabad on 25-09-2002 with representatives from all parts of the country actively participated in the deliberations The following important resolutions/decisions taken.

(1)           Resolution   

  Central office bearers and Circle secretaries of BSNL EA(I) in their meeting held on 25 Sept 2002 at Hyderabad unanimously resolved to out rightly reject the tentative proposals of the BSNL management relating to the pay scales of Executives in BSNL. The House further urges the BSNL management to give due and considered weightage to the recommendations of the Mohan Committee relating to pay scales.

 (2)           The meeting expressed the unanimous opinion that the action that the action initiated by the management for filling up the vacant STS posts by promoting SDEs to Adhoc DEs is far from satisfactory in two counts                     (i) The number of vacancies proposed to be filled                                                         (ii)Screening procedure of ACRs .The house decided that savingrams protesting the inadequate action of the DOT should be sent from all branche/circle secretaries on 30-09-2002.

Kerala Circle forms Coordination Committee of Telecom Executives

Circle Office Bearers of BSNL EA (I) and TEOA (I) met at Ernakulam on 14-09-2002 and decided to form the Coordination Committee of Telecom Executives of Kerala Circle. Com.G. N. Hariharan Nair Circle Secretary BSNL EA (I) as Chairman, Com. K. Sebastian as Convener Circle Secretary TEOA (I) and Com. Abdul Rassac A.S. as Financial Secretary.

          Body unanimously resolves to protest against the proposed IDA pay scales and urged the CHQs of both the Associations to work out the modus-operandi of agitational programmes to ensure the pay scales demanded by us.

       The meeting also decided to work as one body in future programmes and actions. The meeting also decided to direct the SSA office bearers to form Coordination Committee of Telecom Executives at SSA level by 30th Sep 2002 and also gear up for organisational actions and agitational programmes to achieve the justified pay scales as already demanded by the two Associations.

 

An Association representing only SDEs and DEs bargains (?) for one or two increments for JTOs and remain silent on the shameful proposed pay scales of  SDEs/ Sr.SDEs/ DE !!!The simple fact remains that the proposals on fitment formula (Part-B) provides for a minimum net gain of Rs 2500/-.For 11 stages of the present JTO scales the proposed scales falls short of Rs.2500/-. It is only a natural corollary of the proposed fitment formula that appropriate increments are to be made in the proposed JTO scales .Perhaps the leaders who negotiated for increments on behalf of JTOs must have forgotten to go through the proposals on fitment formula in Part-B.

BSNL EXECUTIVES' ASSOCIATION GRANTED STATUS FOR DISCUSSIONS, NEGOTIATIONS AND MEETINGS AT ALL LEVELS OF ADMN.

This is applicable to even those who have submitted the option papers.
