On 15th Sept 2024, Team AIGETOA had the privilege of meeting with Hon’ble Finance Minister Chhattisgarh Government, Shri Om Prakash Chaudhary Ji, representing Raigarh constituency, Chhattisgarh, BJP. The meeting focused on critical issues related to BSNL and long pending HR issues.

We apprised the Hon’ble Minister about current developments within BSNL and emphasized the need for his intervention to resolve long-pending HR issues. Despite minimal financial implications, promotional issues have been ignored, with employees receiving only one promotion over a service span of 22-23 years. Since 2007, there has been no pay revision (3rd PRC) for BSNL employees, which was due in 2017. We also discussed the need for the implementation of standard pay scales (E2 for JTO/JAO and E3 for SDE/AO). We strongly urged Shri O P Chudhary Ji to take up these HR issues with the honorable Minister Of Communication at the earliest possible.

During the meeting, we presented the Minister CG Govt with a Memorandum for forwarding to the Hon’ble Minister of Communication with his strong RECOMMENDATION.

Shri O P Chaudhary Ji graciously agreed to take up the matter with the Ministry of Communication (MoC).

The Hon’ble Minister also promised his continued support for AIGETOA and BMS and promised to advocate for our issues with the Hon’ble Minister of Communication.

On behalf of AIGETOA – BMS, we extend our heartful thanks for Hon’ble Minister for sparing his valuable time and for patient listening and also positive assurances in the above issues even if it is on Sunday.

Team AIGETOA had detailed discussion with Management on the issues at all levels since yesterday including CMD BSNL, Director HR and PGM Pers.

With respect to the reversal issue, We presented the complete chronology, complete details of the various court cases, their orders and our point of view. We requested management to take a holistic view by immediately reinstating the Seniority of the affected executives and extending them their long due promotions. All the other things including legal proceedings and discussions can be dealt later on. We explained that there is no complexity in issuing the orders subject to outcome of pending court cases.

Management appears to be convinced but till the positive decision is taken, we need to keep pursuing till the final outcome.

BSNL CO issued letter to all Circle Heads calling for volunteers among SDEs/AGMs with legal background preferably with legal educational qualifications for legal works at Corporate office New Delhi.

The selection will be for a fixed term. Willing and eligible SDEs/AGMs are invited to submit their options by email to agsmpers1sta@gmail.com.

After the issuance of letter on People Analytical Mobile App, the issue was taken up with management today by AIGETOA.

Thereafter, both the associations AIGETOA and SNEA were called for formal discussions with PGM Restg.

It was informed that there is no negative intent behind this app and the same has been developed to capture the employee feedback on the works as well as any special initiative.by the employee or any special accomplishments by the employee.

We categorically told that this is an unilateral decision taken by management without consulting with associations on the merit and demerits associated. One side management is projecting that it has got no negative intents and on the other side, it is being made mandatory for marking the attendance. We said this practice itself is against the basic principles of REA and against the spirit of good employee employer relationship.

We informed PGM Restg that we don’t agree to the proposal and we shall be submitting our formal objections on the proposal in black and white.

Later GS AIGETOA and GS SNEA sat together and decided to give a joint letter to management on the proposed app.

BSNL Corporate Office, issued order for the retention of SDEs who are under long stay transfer to other circles and have represented for retention on grounds of their ward studying in 12th standard and appearing for Board Examination.

Team AIGETOA earlier took up the matters related to Promotions with Director HR who then guided us to meet PGM Pers for a detailed discussion:

Reversal Issue:

The issue was discussed at length. All the individual representations received from the sufferer executives were submitted in person along with AIGETOA letter. We strongly highlighted that the matter is unduly delayed and it’s high time that BSNL should take a decisive step instead of dragging the matter further in courts. We highlighted when BSNL issued show cause notices, BSNL did it for all and not for individual applicants. Now when the reinstatements are being done, instead of executing the court orders for individual applicants, BSNL should uniformly implement the Court orders and issue promotion orders for all the SDE 2007 reversal affected executives. It was assured to examine the matter in the backdrop of uniformity, national litigation policy and inputs submitted by AIGETOA. The discussion was positive and we sincerely hope that management will extend justice to all the SDE 2007 affected executives. AIGETOA is following up the matter and will not let any further injustice happen.

Issue Related to 147 :

We discussed the matter at length and once again explained the whole matter and requested management to look into the matter in totality instead of reading the judgement in bits and pieces. Management assured to look into the matter and examine the submissions given by AIGETOA.

SDE to AGM LICE Court Cases:

AIGETOA team explained the current situation and gave its suggestions for resolving the issue expeditiously. Management assured for its actions to end the stalemate soon.

JTO to SDE LICE and DPC Court Cases:

Current status was discussed and association requested for pushing the cases aggressively in court so that promotions can be extended in an expeditious manner.

SDE to AGM (T) Promotions:

Fresh Discussion on the issue started. Hopefully we will succeed.

AGM to DGM (CSS) Promotions:

We expressed our resentment on the undue delay and requested to issue the promotion orders. We said the promotions are unnecessarily being dragged and the same should be avoided.

Due to urgency, the meeting was concluded halfway and discussion on the same and promotions related to Finance and others cadres will continue.

Team AIGETOA welcomed the Director Enterprise Designate Shri Papa Sudhakar Rao Ji after his Joining at BSNL Corporate Office as Head Bharatnet and BBNL. We exchanged greetings and extended our best wishes. We also extended our support on all the good endeavours he takes for BSNL.
