Whether the SNATTA members are prevented from improving the NE-9 pay scale?

SNATTA is accusing BSNLEU that, the two members SNATTA in the Wage Revision Committee were suddenly removed before the final meeting to be held on 08.10.2025. As a result, SNATTA members are prevented from effectively presenting the NE-9 pay scale in the final meeting. This accusation is being levelled by SNATTA leadership only to rouse the JE cadre sentiment and to gain the sympathy of JE comrades.

 

Com.Suresh Kumar and Com. Manu Mehra, were nominated by BSNLEU to the Wage Revision Committee in November, 2022, after the 9th Membership Verification. It is already 3 years since both the SNATTA members became members of the Wage Revision Committee. In the last 3 years, they have had enough time to improve the NE-9 pay scale. We ask why the SNATTA members have not been able to improve the NE-9 pay scale during the last 3 years? When they have not done anything in the last 3 years how they are expected to do the miracle in the meeting to be held on 08.10.2025.

 

The original plan of the two SNATTA members is to stop BSNLEU from signing the Wage Revision Agreement. They have successfully stopped the recognised unions from signing the Wage Revision Agreement in the meetings held on 17.09.2025 and 26.09.2025. They have planned to stop the signing of the Wage Revision Agreement in the final meeting to be held on 08.10.2025 also. Thereafter, no Wage Revision Agreement could be signed since the recognition of both BSNLEU and NFTE will expire on 16.10.2025. If the agreement is not signed on 08.10.2025, it will cause great loss to the majority of the Non-Executives. To stop this disaster from happening, BSNLEU took timely action by replacing the two SNATTA members in the Wage Revision Committee.
