The Additional Secretary, Telecom, assured that further discussion would take place in this week. However, so far the AUAB has not received any communication from the DoT for talks. Considering the urgency of the issue, the AUAB has decided to convene a meeting on 25.01.2019, for taking appropriate action on this issue. Accordingly, the AUAB meeting will be held at 11:00 am on 25.01.2019.
A meeting between the representatives of the AUAB and Shri Anupam Shrivastava, CMD BSNL, was held today the 28.03.2019. Ms. Sujata T. Ray, Director (HR) was also present. Com.P.

Pathak, AGS, AIGETOA, Com.Suresh Kumar, GS, BSNL MS, Com.Rewati Prasad, BSNL ATM and com.Kabeer Das, GS, BSNL OA, participated in the meeting. The following issues were discussed.
(1) Imposition of break-in-service under FR 17 A.
The AUAB has already written to the CMD BSNL, stating that break-in-service under FR 17 A, cannot be imposed on BSNL employees, since it is not part of the CDA rules. In today’s meeting, the representatives of AUAB insisted for expeditious action by the Management, on this issue. The CMD BSNL and the Director (HR) assured to do the needful.
(2) Wrong calculation in the wage cut.
The representatives of the AUAB pointed out that the wage cut, for participation in the 3 day strike, has been done based on wrong calculation. That is, the three day wages has been arrived, by taking 28 days as a month’s salary. Instead, a month’s salary should be calculated as 30 days. As a result, more money has been deducted from the salary of the employees. Further, three days wage cut should be calculated on basic pay and DA only. But in many places, this calculation has been done wrongly. The CMD BSNL and Director (HR) assured to do the needful on this.
(3) March to Sanchar Bhawan – provoking instruction given by the BSNL Corporate Office.
The SR Branch of the BSNL CO., has sent an instruction to the CGMs, directing that the principle of ‘no work no pay’ should be implemented on those employees who take part in the March to Sanchar Bhawan. It was pointed out by the AUAB representatives that, as per rules, the principle of ‘no work no pay’ cannot be imposed on employees for their participation in the rallies. Responding to this, the Director (HR) said that, she was not aware of any such instruction having been issued by the Corporate Office, and assured to look into it.
The CMD BSNL informed the representatives of the AUAB that, the March salary will be paid to the employees on time and he also told that this payment of salary is being made purely from BSNL’s own earnings.
कॉन्ट्रैक्ट वर्कर्स की छंटनी नही करें- वेज एरियर्स के भुगतान के लिए फण्ड जारी करें- BSNLEU का डायरेक्टर (फाइनेंस) से अनुरोध...
कॉम पी अभिमन्यु, GS और कॉम स्वपन चक्रबोर्ति, Dy. GS, ने आज श्री एस के गुप्ता, डायरेक्टर (फाइनेंस) से मुलाकात कर निम्न मुद्दों पर चर्चा की...
(1) कॉर्पोरेट ऑफिस का वह पत्र जिसमें सर्कल्स को कॉन्ट्रैक्ट वर्कर्स की संख्या कम करने हेतु निर्देशित किया गया है।
(2) महीनों से कॉन्ट्रैक्ट वर्कर्स को वेजेस का भुगतान नही होना।
प्रतिनिधियों ने कॉन्ट्रैक्ट वर्कर्स के वेजेस एरियर्स के भुगतान हेतु यथाशीघ्र फण्ड आवंटन की मांग की। उन्होंने यह भी कहा कि कॉन्ट्रैक्ट वर्कर्स की छंटनी से मेंटेनेंस कार्य बुरी तरह से प्रभावित होगा। इसके प्रत्युत्तर में डायरेक्टर (फाइनेंस) ने कहा कि BSNL की वित्तीय स्थिति बेहद क्षीण है और फंड्स की उपलब्धता अनुसार आवश्यक कार्यवाही की जाएगी। उन्होंने यह भी कहा कि कंपनी की वित्तीय हालात की वजह से ही उन्हें कॉन्ट्रैक्ट वर्कर्स की संख्या में कटौती करने का अप्रिय निर्णय लेने के लिए बाध्य होना पड़ा है, क्योंकि इसके अलावा और कोई पर्याय नही था। फिर भी, प्रतिनिधियों ने डायरेक्टर (फाइनेंस) से इस निर्णय पर पुनर्विचार करने का अनुरोध किया।
