Appeal from General Secretary, AIGETOA

Dear friends,

As all of you know that AIGETOA is an exclusive association of direct recruitee executives and a platform to protect the genuine interest of it’s members. Association does not mean the gathering of people having different and contradictory interest but it mean the togetherness of peoples having similar interest. No one can deny that other executives association in BSNL representing basically the group of people having contradictory interest with respect to direct recruits in several aspects. It is evident from several court cases filed by AIGETOA in the interest of justice to the direct recruits but other executives associations have filed counter by spending lakhs of rupees by hiring prominent lawyers. It is also the fact that some portion of amount spent against direct recruits in the courts is contributed by direct recruits itself.

It is really hurting to learn that professionally qualified direct recruits are lacking in unity in protecting their own rights. Dear friend, this association cannot serve the purpose till every direct recruit shows their affinity with the association. There might be differences with individuals but in no way it should affect the association, the symbol of unity of direct recruits. Individual can be changed but association can’t.

AIGETOA MP Telecom Circle has served the notice to CGMT, not for shining the so called NETAGIRI as other associations are doing but it has become the need of hour. GM (Admin), MP is head of Circle (HR) and is supposed to be the official advocate of its employees. He is supposed to fight with other authorities for the welfare of executives and seek help from the executives association for early execution of welfare measures. GM (admin) is primarily responsible for ensuring the welfare measures for executives but it is the misfortune of this circle that GM (Admin) MP is always found searching how to stop the welfare of DR executives. GM (Admin) MP circle is known for his love for grabbing all the opportunities to harass the executives who do not support his vested interest. May it be framing transfer policy for above and below 10 years to target direct recruits, may it be operating longest stay list, may it be resolving EPF issue, may it be delaying time bound up gradation by calling unnecessary and unwanted clarifications to clarify the already clarified orders.

Circle representatives have tried every possible way to resolve the issues amicably but it is clear underestimation of our unity and misuse of power by GM (Admin). Circle representatives spoke and perused with CGM prior to serving the notice but that was of no use. At One side, we do respect the CGMT MP Telecom Circle for doing commendable job by visiting throughout the circle and motivating performers by awarding them to enhance the performance, on the other side some GMs like Shri Prabhash Singh are intentionally demotivating the DRs and in the process making the tireless efforts of CGMT null and void. It is surprising and strange that such a dynamic CGM seems to be helpless before such arrogant working of GMs for the reasons best known to him.

GS appeal all the direct recruits of MP Telecom circle that this is high time to show our unity before the management to recognize our issues by making this agitational program quite successful and historic as we have done in the past as and when required.
