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.

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.

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.

GS AIGETOA writes to BSNL Management on Mass Exodus of Young and Dynamic Executives from BSNL, a concerning trend which BSNL must address with priority. GS AIGETOA emphasizes upon the fact that as many as 30 percent of the newly recruited JAOs and as many as 40 percent of the newly recruited JTOs have left the organization which is an alarming trend but never taken into cognizance by BSNL.

GS AIGETOA highlights that the mass exodus of these skilled professionals indicates a systemic issue within BSNL HR Policies that requires immediate attention. We believe the root causes of this situation are multifaceted, stemming from several longstanding grievances that have been repeatedly highlighted by AIGETOA but have largely remained unaddressed.

GS AIGETOA highlights the major reasons behind this attrition namely:

1. Working Conditions.

2. Stagnant Career Progression and Unjust HR Policies.

3. Non-Resolution of issues of Standard Pay Scales of E2 for JTOs/JAOs, non-settlement of issues related to pay loss and non-implementation of 3rd PRC.

4. Unfulfilled 30% Superannuation Benefits.

5. Lack of Revised TA/DA, non-availability of sufficient medical cover and non-extension of perks and allowances.

In light of these issues, GS AIGETOA urges CMD BSNL to take immediate actions to address these concerns comprehensively. This includes implementing a fair and timely promotion policy, revising pay and allowances, fulfilling all promised benefits, and fostering a conducive working environment that supports the professional growth of BSNL employees.

Team AIGETOA met with Shri Adhir Singhal Ji, the outgoing PGM Pers, who will be superannuating on August 31st, 2024. The team expressed their heartfelt gratitude for his dedication, guidance, and tireless efforts during his tenure as PGM Pers.

The team wished Shri Singhal Ji a happy, healthy, and peaceful life post superannuation, hoping that this new chapter brings him relaxation, travel, and quality time with his loved ones.

Thereafter, the team welcomed Shri Dinesh Mahur Ji, the new PGM Pers, and discussed the issues in transition and future plans. AIGETOA is optimistic about the new leadership and vision of Shri Dinesh Mahur Ji, and is confident that his guidance will bring positive changes and growth to the cadre.

As a token of appreciation and respect, the team presented both Shri Adhir Singhal ji and Shri Dinesh Mahur Ji with a flower bouquet and a shawl.

As informed earlier, BSNL CO has issued the fresh instructions for Rule 8 online applications. AIGETOA has been actively following up on the matter and providing input, most of which has been incorporated into the issued guidelines. It was the endeavour of AIGETOA to make the complete process online and transparent and finally the same has been achieved by AIGETOA. The portal was to be made live in July but the same got delayed due to some last minute bug fixes. The existing waiting list will hold priority over the new applications.

We extend our thanks to Director HR and PGM Establishment and ERP team for making this online process successful.
