The house strongly reiterated the urgent need for immediate and time-bound action on several long pending issues including appointment of a regular CMD BSNL, implementation of 3rd PRC by waiving the affordability clause, settlement of all residual 2nd PRC issues, implementation of standard E2/E3 pay scales, 30% Superannuation Benefit contribution, creation of PRMB Fund, restoration of medical benefits and DA, resolution of various pay loss issues and ensuring parity between BSNL internal employees and Officers on deputation under the principle of “One Company – One Policy”.
The declaration further demanded immediate promotions in all streams and cadres, settlement of seniority disputes, restoration of allowances and perks as per DPE guidelines, scrapping of the SET recruitment process, review of transfer policy, implementation of COPU recommendations and immediate notification of next Membership Verification through secret ballot mode. Serious concern was also expressed regarding delay in HR committee reports and the expenditure incurred on BCG consultancy without visible outcomes and accountability.
Expressing deep displeasure over repeated assurances without tangible progress, the house resolved that in absence of concrete and result-oriented action by management, AIGETOA along with Bharatiya Doorsanchar Manch (BDM) will move ahead with the second phase of organizational action programs. The proposed course of action includes nationwide outreach to MPs, Governors and Union Ministers, coordinated struggles with unions and associations, signature campaigns, social media campaigns, black badge protests, demonstrations, mass mobilization, mass casual leave programs, hunger fast and ultimately Parliament March/Mass Dharna at New Delhi in the presence of BMS Central Leadership.
The house also authorized the General Secretary AIGETOA to seek a final and unambiguous response from the management side as a last effort towards amicable settlement and to coordinate with other unions and associations for a united organizational struggle on common issues.
AIGETOA emphasized that the Delhi Declaration represents the collective resentment of BSNL executives against prolonged inaction and non-fulfilment of repeated assurances despite continuous engagement at various levels. At the same time, the association reiterated its commitment towards constructive dialogue and meaningful engagement, provided it is backed by accountability, timelines and visible progress. AIGETOA urged the management to intervene decisively and resolve the long pending HR issues in a time-bound manner to avoid industrial unrest while safeguarding the legitimate rights and aspirations of BSNL executives and strengthening the future of BSNL.
