Meeting between the CMD BSNL and the General Secretary, BSNLEU..

Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS, met Shri P.K. Purwar, CMD BSNL, today and discussed the following issues.

 

1. Holding of the JTO LICE with sufficient number of vacancies – GS, BSNLEU, demands concrete steps to solve the problem.

BSNLEU is continuously demanding that, the JTO LICE to be held 07.08.2022 should be held with sufficient number of vacancies. In today’s meeting, Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS, BSNLEU, demanded that, the posts belonging to the Direct Recruitment quota of 2021, which comes to around 890 posts, should also be diverted for the LICE to be held on 07.08.2022. Further, the GS, BSNLEU, pointed out that, there are no vacancies in 11 circles and that only a few vacancies in 9 more circles. The GS, BSNLEU, demanded that, the Management should address this problem by evolving a suitable mechanism. The CMD BSNL gave a patient hearing and assured that the Management would take best efforts to solve this problem.

 

2. Career Progression of sports personnel.

BSNLEU is continuously pressurising the Management, demanding to grant special increment / promotion to the sports personnel who have excelled at National and International levels. Various circle administrations have already recommended such cases to the Corporate Office. However, without taking decision on those cases, the Corporate Management is now trying to introduce a new Career Progression Policy. In today’s meeting, the GS, BSNLEU, strongly demanded that, all cases already recommended by the circles should be settled first, before implementing any new Career Progression Policy.

 

3. Unlawful recovery of penal amount from the ex-gratia payment of 17 officials of Sultanpur SSA of UP (East) circle.

BSNLEU has already written to the CMD BSNL, pointing out that, penal amount has been deducted from the ex-gratia payment of 17 VRS retirees of Sultanpur SSA, in UP (East) circle. This penal amount has been deducted for non-renewal of the insurance that should have been taken for the HBA availed by these officials. In today’s meeting the GS, BSNLEU, raised this issue. He pointed out that it makes no sense to deduct penal amount at this point of time, when the officials had already repaid their entire HBA amount. However, the CMD BSNL replied that, this issue should be taken up with the CGM, UP(East).  

 

4. Holding of the JE LICE, TT LICE, JAO LICE, etc.

BSNLEU is also insisting upon the BSNL Management to hold the other LICEs for the Non-Executives, like JE LICE, TT LICE, JAO LICE, etc. In today’s meeting, the General Secretary insisted the CMD BSNL to take early steps for holding the JE LICE, TT LICE, JAO LICE, etc., without further delay. He also insisted that, the Management should ensure that, these LICEs are held with sufficient number of vacancies.

 

5. Non-payment of wages of the contract workers for the past 18 months in some circles.

It is disgusting to note that, the Management has not paid wages of the contract workers for the past 18 months in some circles. BSNLEU is continuously taking up this case. In today’s meeting with the CMD BSNL, the GS, BSNLEU, pointed out that wages are not paid for the past 18 months in some circles like West Bengal and demanded that, action should immediately be taken to make payment of this wage arrears. The CMD BSNL assured to do the needful.
