AIGETOA writes to Hon’ble Secretary DoT and Hon’ble Chief Labour Commissioner with respect to the violation of Membership Verification/Election Code of Conduct by BSNL Management with Clear intent to Sabotage the Executive MV Process by Influencing the Minds of Voters and Encroaching into the Rights of Executives against REA Rules. Earlier we have reached to Management including CMD BSNL and Director HR and Chief Returning Officer but to no avail. Seeing no respite within BSNL, AIGETOA firmly moved on to next higher level for addressing the grievances.

Friends, from the series of letters issued by BSNL in the last one month which started from the transfer of our OBs and Members violating the code of conduct to the latest series of letters issued for notification of LICEs and syllabus, intent of management is very clear.

From the actions of Management, it is quite visible that a deliberate attempt to disrupt the level playing field is being done. AIGETOA wants to firmly reaffirm that we will not allow management to succeed in its misadventures and will ensure the promotions of all eligible Executives through the regular channel of SCF. We remain duty bound to ensure the promotion of all Eligible SDEs upto List 13 through regular channel of Promotions i.e. SCF, AGM to DGM Promotions, and JTO to SDE Promotions for LICE 2014 and future batches, AO to CAO Promotions and JAO to AO promotions. Similarly we are duty bound to ensure promotions in other streams also.

A lot of distance has been achieved and very soon all are going to see the light of the day in all promotions in the grade of DGMs, AGMs, SDEs. The provisional promotions of 2018 are going to be regularised very soon and this will open the road to Promotions in DGM, AGM and SDE cadre with inclusion of all consequential vacancies to enable immediate inclusion of vacancies in subsequent grades. Further Notional Promotions of those whose DPC was done in 2018 is also being pursued actively and we are very sure for achieving the same soon. Similarly we are expecting a breakthrough in AO to CAO Promotions also which will open the roads to JAO to AO Promotions. Similarly promotions in other streams are also to be ensured. Simultaneously our thrust is on Restructuring Review and to ensure more posts in all cadres and streams including Telecom, Finance, Civil, Electrical, CSS, PA/PS/PPS, AD OL, AGM OL etc.

We are not against the conduction of Internal Competitive Exam in AGM and DGM grades but we want that exam should be for the persons who have not completed the residency period. Those completing the Residency Period and in fact more than the required residency period should not be forced to appear in the exam and their promotions must occur through the regular channel of Seniority Cum Fitness. Further, it is our belief that Fast Track Mode must have a fixed number of seats available every year so that all getting eligible can appear in fast track when their chance comes. Such exams must have provision of separate and fixed number of vacancies every year so that there remains no clash between both the streams and the fast track remains fast track and do not meet the same fate like the current scenario where everything was marred upon legal tangles.

We are firm on our conviction to achieve this objective and we are committed to go to any extent to ensure this.

We request executives to not to get confused on such ridiculous and hasty issuances of notifications of BSNL which in our opinion is just intended to prejudice and influence the minds of Voters against AIGETOA. Let us all remain united. AIGETOA is reaching out to all authorities to stop this uncalled for prejudiced actions of management where they are just trying to take advantage of prevailing code of conduct and non absence of AIGETOA as representative association. Such actions further cements the fact that presence of AIGETOA is a must as Majority Recognized Representative Association else such type of actions will become a regular affair. It is also very much evident that except no other association bothered to raise the voice. Executive must understand now that it is AIGETOA which is only association concerned for resolution of the issues and raising the voice against the uncalled for actions by management.

We wish to convey that AIGETOA remains firmly committed to ensure the objective of promotions of all eligible and that too within a short period from here.

Vote and Support AIGETOA at Serial No. 3.

GS AIGETOA Shri Ravi Shil Verma writes to Director HR BSNL Board Shri Arvind Vadnerkar Ji with protest & objection regarding Notification for Limited Internal Competitive Examination (LICE) for AGM/EE (E).

The Examination Notification which pertains to the Limited Internal Competitive Examination (LICE) for promotion to the grade of AGM/EE (Elect.) for the vacancy year 2023 under the 33% Competitive Quota. AIGETOA wish to express our strong protest and objection on the unilateral action by the management in this regard.

The hidden agenda of hasty issuance is very much clear as the notification lack the clarity on the starting date of online registration, the last date of online registration, editing/modification in application data by the candidate, and the date of the online examination etc. This lack of clarity regarding essential dates creates an atmosphere of uncertainty and ambiguity on initiating such an important process where virtually the recognized executive association of executives are yet to be done as per REA rules and the MV is scheduled for 12-09-2023. The notification does not provide a concrete roadmap or timeline for the entire process, which prompts us to question the necessity of issuing this notification at this juncture.

The timing of this notification is also a matter of concern. Actions of this nature, which potentially have significant implications for the mind of BSNL executives, raises questions about the management’s intentions. This gives rise to concerns about whether the chosen timing for this notification is designed to favor or disfavor any particular association, thereby eroding trust and confidence in the membership verification process.

GS AIGETOA writes to CMD BSNL and Hon’ble Labour Minister seeking their urgent intervention in settling the EPFO Intimations Causing Confusion for those executives who opted pension for higher wages and EPF authorized signatories of BSNL :

GS AIGETOA writes to CMD BSNL and Hon’ble Labour Minister seeking their urgent intervention in settling the EPFO Intimations Causing Confusion for those executives who opted pension for higher wages and EPF authorized signatories of BSNL.

AIGETOA highlights the important issue that has arisen after the approval of the Joint Option for pension on higher wages by the employer (authorized signatories of BSNL). It has come to our attention that EPFO Regional Offices are sending error intimations to numerous members who opted pension for higher wages, requesting clarification, error correction, and the submission of accurate and complete information along with additional proof or evidence within a one-month period. In the letter sent by the EPFO, identical reasons are provided without specifying the exact mistakes or errors in question.

Without clear indication of the errors, members and authorized signatories are left unable to accurately correct the issues or provide the necessary documents. This approach by EPFO has led to significant confusion among BSNL employees and EPF authorized signatories of BSNL. Accordingly, GS AIGETOA urges the intervention of Hon’ble CMD BSNL and Hon’ble Labour Minister in this matter to engage with EPFO HQ to issue unequivocal guidelines that can clarify the course of action required in these situations.
