GS AIGETOA writes to Director (HR) regarding abysmal Delay in restructuring exercise and no formal deliberation with the Recognized Representative Association, AIGETOA till date and non-extension of regular promotions in various cadres resulting into severe stagnation of the executives across various streams.
AIGETOA has taken up with the CMD BSNL to ensure availability of the CAO post in every operational area HQ which are being headed by the DGM level officer to maintain the financial discipline, propriety and control in the interest of BSNL.
As requested by AIGETOA and pursued accordingly, wherein we have requested management for postponement of all offline training as well as financial upgradation exams till March 31, 2021, today BSNL CO has issued directions to CGM ALTTC for the same. This was requested by AIGETOA in view of the safety from traveling and staying in training centres in the pandemic by our Executives.
As per our discussion, the course content is also being upgraded as per current requirements.
GS AIGETOA has taken up the matter of releasing of the pending CAPEX and OPEX subsidies for 25000 Rural Wi-Fi Hotspot Project being run by BSNL under USOF. BSNL has successfully completed the target of the project as given by the USOF and raised the claim, which is awaited the payment. In the absence of the requisite payment of subsidies, it will be very difficult to run the prestigious project of rural Wi-Fi Hotspot in this financial stress of the organisation, which is very important to address digital divide of urban and rural population.
An unfortunate incident has taken place with one of our colleague at Barrack pore (BKP) Division of CTD Kolkata on 19.01.2021, which has shaken all of us. We strongly condemn the brutal attack on our executive and demand immediate action against the culprits and other suitable measures else the association will be forced to give a call to abstain from field works.
AIGETOA has reached out the CMD and Director (HR) BSNL and requested that if local authorities are not able to control the situation, they should intervene and ensure protection through Central Para military forces as BSNL is a Central PSU. We have apprised that in the absence of suitable confidence building measures and security arrangements, the association shall be constrained to give a call to all the cluster heads to work from home till suitable arrangements are made. It will not be possible to discharge duty in the field units in these life threatening circumstances.
2nd Formal Agenda Meeting of AIGETOA with BSNL Management:
As per BSNL REA Rule-2014 the formal agenda meeting of Recognized Representative Executive Association has to be carried out once in a quarter to take the issues of the executives and policy decision with the BSNL Management. As the AIGETOA is the representative association and last meeting held on 15-09-2020 and four months have passed and so the association has written to the BSNL Management to hold the 2nd meeting immediately.
GS AIGETOA has reached out to the CMD BSNL for releasing of Salary for the month of December-2020 without further delay especially in view of the upcoming festival of Pongal, Lohri, Makar Sankranti and Magh Bihu.
Today, BSNL Corporate Office issued instruction regarding non-posting of the office bearers of Executive Association as BA/Unit Head. GS AIGETOA has taken up this issue in Dec-2020 after getting various complaints from Circle Chapter of Kerala, MP, HP, Rajasthan, UP West and other Circles that the OBs of Executives Associations’ are being given charge of the BA and Unit in contravention to the guidelines issued by the BSNL CO and CVP New Delhi. Accordingly CHQ has pursued the matter with BSNL CO and these guidelines are issued . Circle Secretaries are requested to ensure that these guidelines are implemented in totality.
