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
(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

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.
High Power Committee under the Chairmanship of Chairman Telecom Commission has been constituted to work out the modalities and other details regarding merger of BSNL & MTNL. Other members of the committee are Member (Ser), Member (Fin), CMD BSNL, CMD MTNL.The Committee has been asked to submit its report with in a months time.

The Screening committee should assess the ACRs for the last five years in respect of eligible officers .Since the promotion is by seniority-cum-fitness method ,an officer can be assessed either fit for promotion or unfit.

BSNL Admn. agreed to do the needful. Pay
scales for Executives to be revealed after discussion in the

All
Circle Secretaries/Office bearers at various levels/activists of
the Association are appealed to maintain extraordinary
organizational preparedness to encounter any challenge in respect
of realizing our basic demand of IDA pay scales of E2/E3/E4/E5 for
JTOs/SDEs/Sr.SDEs/DEs etc. Our understanding is that BSNL
management is not prepared to concede our demand of above stated
IDA pay scales. It is reliably learnt that BSNL management is
considering intermediate scales which are totally unacceptable to
us. Maintain unity, solidarity and organizational alertness of the
highest order. Com.G.L.Jogi GS,BSNLEA(I),CHQ,New

Central
Working Committee of BSNL EA (I) met at Mumbai on 12th
& 13th August 2002
A
defeated, frustrated and crest-fallen TESA, continues their game of
misleading the members by spreading false propaganda. Do
not get confused by the untruth spread by TESA. The
law of the land declares unequivocally that absorption is to be
processed only after announcement of pay-scale,
fitment formula, and promotional avenues for the Executives
in BSNL within 8 weeks from the date of receipt of the judgment.
This is applicable to even those who have submitted the option
papers.
