executive association. GS explained the
power of negotiation that will follow post
becoming number one executive association.
Regarding E2 and E3 standard IDA pay scales

and E2A pay scales has been received and
shortly it will be put up to the competent
authority for further necessary action.

guidelines he informed that the matter is
pending with ED(Finance). We will be
discussing with the competent authority
shortly for further necessary action.
Regarding merger of Civil/Electrical/Arch.
wings with SSAs he said that we are strongly
protesting against the merger of
Civil/Electrical/Arch. wings executives at
SSA level beacuse one Executive Engineer
will be reporting to one SSA Head and will
work for 4-5 SSAs, which will adversely
affect day to day work of all the SSAs and
CE/SE will not have any control on these
executives directly. On this issue, we had
met ED(NB) who told that he has already
submitted a proposal to CMD, BSNL to stop
this merger in view of practical
difficulties.
Regarding
consideration of Para 8 transfers of JTOs
from hard tenure circles he informed that
about 60-70 JTOs, circles have already
considered para-8 transfers but the hard
tenure circles are yet to consider in view
of shortage. AIBSNLEA consistent efforts
yielded result in getting released order
regarding Modification in the guidelines in
transfer to Soft Tenure areas in BSNL
GS AIGETOA Shri R P
Shahu addressed the gathering and explained
the need of uniting. He briefed as to why
AIGETOA was formed? And what individual has
achieved because of joining AIGETOA?
Achievements are that as on date each and
every person in BSNL knows that what are the
basic rights of DRs? Be it management, any
other association or DRs themselves. This,
in itself is a very big achievement. Further
GS explained why to go in this referendum
with AIBSNLEA. GS explained that after
observing the background of other
associations, we came to a conclusion that
AIBSNLEA is the one, because they are
comprised of 10 different association and
issues of all the employee under their
umbrella has been addressed. Further GS
explained understanding is always a mutual
process in which two parties has to agree.
Hand that came ahead for betterment of DRs
was picked i.e. AIBSNLEA. GS tried to clear
the myth created in minds of all, that this
company is going to close and cleared how
management is putting fear into the minds of
employee. GS explained in details what is
meant by affordability of company, what is
meant by profit and loss of the company? He
gave an overview of 5Ps (i.e. Pay, Pension,
Promotion, Perks and Performance). At the
last but not the least GS recapitulated the
historic August agitation and part played by
NOC during management negotiation meeting.
