As per this Policy, promotions and special increments have been recommended by the respective Chief General Managers and the cases were sent for the approval of the Corporate Office. However, the Corporate Office did not approve these cases and put them in the cold storage. In the meanwhile, the BSNL Corporate Office has arbitrarily issued a new Sports Compendium on 20.12.2022. Ever since then, BSNLEU has been writing letters to the CMD BSNL, demanding to approve the cases for promotions and special increments as already recommended by the respective CGMs and send for the approval of the Corporate Office. Today, once again BSNLEU has written letter to the CMD BSNL, demanding to approve the cases which are already approved by the respective CGMs, as per the Career Progression Policy-2008.

It has been brought to the notice of the CHQ that Circle Councils are not yet reconstituted in many circles.

The CGMs of those circles are blatantly violating the Rules on the matter. Hence, BSNLEU has written letter to the Director (HR) today, demanding immediate reconstitution of all the Circle Councils and Local Councils.

BSNLEU has expressed deep concern and disappointment about the cancellation of the All India Football and Basketball tournaments in BSNL for the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 seasons. In a letter written to Shri Arvind Vadnerkar, Director (HR), BSNLEU has emphasised the significance of these tournaments in promoting employee engagement, healthy competition, team building, and physical well-being within the organization. There may be valid reasons for the cancellations, but BSNLEU has urged reconsideration due to the numerous benefits these tournaments bring to the organisation.

The BSNL Management did not conduct the Sports and Cultural Board meeting for many years. It was only after the continuous insistence from BSNLEU, that the meeting was held on 19-04-2023. It is going to be almost 5 months, since the meeting was held. However, the minutes of the meeting has not been released by the Management till today. BSNLEU has already expressed it’s concern to the Director (HR) in this connection. However, the stalemate continues. It is the duty of the BSNL Management to communicate to all the stakeholders, including the Recognised Trade Unions, as to which were the items discussed in the Sports and Cultural Board meeting, and what were the decisions taken there on. However, not releasing the minutes for long five months only exposes the lack of transparency and the “Don’t - Care - Mindset” of the BSNL Management. Hence, BSNLEU has written a letter to the Director (HR), demanding to immediately release the minutes of the Sports and Cultural Board meeting. 

The Joint Forum of the Unions and Associations of the Non-Executives has organised Human Chain, March to Raj Bhawan and Dharna at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi, demanding settlement of the most burning issues, including the Wage Revision.

To discuss and decide about the future course of action on these issues, the Joint Forum will hold a physical meeting at New Delhi on 25.09.2023.

As all are aware, for the past many months, BSNLEU is continuously writing letters to the Director (HR) and other senior officers in the Corporate Office, demanding to review the results of the SC / ST employees who have failed in the LICEs. BSNLEU has specifically taken up the case of Shri L. Mothi Lal, Motor Driver, HRMS No.199601629, Karimnagar, Telangana circle. BSNLEU has also been demanding to implement the orders of the DoP&T on this matter. However, the Corporate Office is refusing to implement the government orders on the matter. Hence, BSNLEU has specifically written letter to the Director (HR) on 09.09.2023, stating that, the Union would be constrained to take the matter to the notice of the National Commissions for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.

जैसा कि सभी जानते हैं, पिछले कई महीनों से BSNLEU लगातार कॉर्पोरेट कार्यालय में निदेशक (एचआर) और अन्य वरिष्ठ अधिकारियों को पत्र लिखकर एलआईसीई में असफल एससी/एसटी कर्मचारियों के परिणामों की समीक्षा करने की मांग कर रहा है।BSNLEU ने विशेष रूप से श्री एल. मोती लाल, मोटर ड्राइवर, एचआरएमएस नंबर 199601629, करीमनगर, तेलंगाना सर्कल का मामला उठाया है। BSNLEU भी इस मामले पर डीओपीएण्डटी के आदेशों को लागू करने की मांग कर रहा है। हालांकि, कॉरपोरेट ऑफिस इस मामले पर सरकार के आदेश को लागू करने से इनकार कर रहा है। इसलिए, BSNLEU ने विशेष रूप से निदेशक (एचआर) को पत्र लिखकर कहा है कि यूनियन इस मामले को अनुसूचित जाति और अनुसूचित जनजाति के राष्ट्रीय आयोग के संज्ञान में ले जाने के लिए बाध्य होगा। 

In the CEC meeting held online on 01.09.2023, it has been brought to the notice of the CHQ that, in some of the circles, circle councils and local councils are not yet constituted by the Management. But, such cases have not been brought to the notice of the CHQ. Hence, circle secretaries are requested to immediately send details of the cases where the circle, BA and OA administrations have not constituted councils. This will enable the CHQ to press upon the Corporate Management to intervene in such cases. 

It has been brought to the notice of the CHQ that the TA bills of the National Council members, who have already retired from service, are not being settled by the circle administrations. This will hamper the functioning of the National Council. BSNLEU has written letter to the PGM(SR), requesting to issue necessary instruction to the CGMs for the prompt settlement of the TA bills of the National Council members, who have already retired from service.
