Former top Executives of France Telecom facing trial for abetting suicides of employees.

Former top Executives of France Telecom, including the company’s CEO, Director (HR) and Deputy Executive Director are undergoing trial in France. The charge against them is that, they created a hostile work environment, as a result of which 35 telecom employees committed suicide between 2007 and 2010. France Telecom was privatised in 2003. In 2007, an aggressive plan was implemented to cut down the strength of the employees. Accordingly, 22,000 employees, out of the total 1,30,000 workforce, were retrenched. Consequent to this, the workload of the employees increased tremendously. Further, the employees were also subjected to humiliation, accuses Solidaires Unitaires Democratiques, a French trade union. For example, a 28 year old employee hanged himself in 2009, after being transferred. The day before he killed himself, the employee had worked a 12 hour shift, with a single 30 minute break. In 2013 France Telecom was re-branded as Orange. If found guilty, the top Executives will get jail term upto one year and a fine of 15,000 euros as fine.


Whatever happened in France Telecom appears to be repeating in BSNL. As a cost cutting measure, the government wants to retrench 40,000 employees through VRS and by rolling back the retirement age from 60 to 58. The young employees of BSNL are welcoming the government's move to implement VRS and reduction of retirement age. But they do not know what will happen in BSNL thereafter. What exactly happened in France Telecom, between 2007 and 2010 is likely to repeat. The youngsters have to think about it.

Government of India gave it's approval for "Net Neutrality".

In a major development, the government of India gave it’s approval yesterday for “Net Neutrality”. Under the principle of Net Neutrality, every Internet user must have equal access to all lawful online content, at the “same cost and speed”. The necessity for the government to announce this Net Neutrality arose because, some time back, the private operators attempted to start a system, in which those who pay extra money alone will be getting access to all the internet sites at assured speed, and others will be having only limited access and slower speed. The Telecom Secretary, Ms.Aruna Sundararajan announced yesterday that, this policy comes into effect immediately, and any violation of rules would attract severe penalties.

Hindi translation of "Victory has a hundred fathers."

अंग्रेजी में एक कहावत है,

"विक्टरी हैज़ ए हंड्रेड फादर्स एंड डेफ़ीट इज ऑलवेज एन ऑर्फ़न."
तात्पर्य यह कि "जीत के सौ दावेदार होते हैं और पराजय हमेशा अनाथ सी होती है।"

यह कहावत एक बार फिर सही साबित हुई है। AUAB को BSNL रिटायरीज के पेंशन रिवीजन के संबंध में एक और सफलता मिली है। अभी तक DOT इस बात पर अडिग था कि BSNL रिटायरीज को  कार्यरत कर्मचारियों के वेज रिवीजन के बाद ही पेंशन रिवीजन मिल पाएगा। इस संबंध में DOT द्वारा लिखित में CMD BSNL को सूचित भी किया गया था। BSNLEU का यह स्पष्ट मत था कि पेंशन रिवीजन को कार्यरत कर्मियों के वेज रिवीजन से सम्बद्ध (लिंक) नही किया जाए। इसी प्रकार अन्य संगठनों ने भी इस मुद्दे पर अपनी ऐसी ही राय रखी थी। लेकिन अब यह हर कोई जानता है कि AUAB द्वारा दिए गए जोरदार झटके की वजह से ही इसका निराकरण संभव हुआ है। अगर हम इसकी पृष्ठभूमि पर दृष्टिपात करें, तो यह स्पष्ट हो जाता है कि BSNL के असंख्य एग्जीक्यूटिव और नॉन एग्जीक्यूटिव के द्वारा प्रदर्शित हड़ताल की तैयारी की वजह से ही सेक्रेटरी, टेलीकॉम ने AUAB को 02.12.2018 को चर्चा के लिए आमंत्रित किया था। और इसी मीटिंग में, संभवतः पहली बार, सेक्रेटरी, टेलीकॉम द्वारा जानकारी दी गई कि DOT ने पेंशन रिवीजन को कार्यरत कर्मियों के वेज रिवीजन से पृथक (delink) करने का निर्णय लिया है। किंतु AUAB के नेतृत्व में देश के सभी एग्जीक्यूटिव और नॉन एग्जीक्यूटिव कर्मियों के जबरदस्त प्रयासों की अनदेखी कर कुछ लोगों द्वारा इस उपलब्धि का श्रेय लूटना अपने आप में हास्यास्पद है।
