Dear GM SR,
 
Firstly, we would like to express our thanks for at least conveying circle heads first time to have a mutual discussion whereas previously you yourself used to say directly or indirectly to not have any official dialogue with AIGETOA as they are "Stranger and Non-Recognized" in this company. Following your unwritten order many CGMs refrain to meet AIGETOA.

Secondly, we are happy to know that you are in regular touch with our website which will definitely help you to understand the reason behind any misfortune in this company. But it is regrettable that still you read our web site with prejudice and biased manner. We have no where written that we will not report our senior officers which you have communicated in writing.

One side you are blaming the leadership of AIGETOA for not projecting the proper things, other side you have written that most of the demands of AIGETOA have been accepted by management but not revealed the same. Your blame to leadership for not projecting the things properly to the members is nothing but directly abusing our members and their intelligence as nothing is hidden and all our members are well qualified to understand the things by their own intelligence. Being GM (SR) you should know leaders are only representative for the resolution passed in executives meetings. Moreover, we do not have any vested interest in this company like many guest officers, one of whom is holding the post of CGMT and asking nonsense clarification like meaning of “Superannuary” post and whether time bound policy is applicable after pay revision despite being one key member of the time bound policy making and depriving numbers of direct recruit executives. An officer like you sitting in the corporate office says it is not easy to clarify, we have to put up before management committee and form a committee to analyze than after 4-5 years only we can clarify.

You wrote that JTO have been given opportunity to reach up E-6 level, dear sir management is giving time bound scale up to E6 level in whole career i.e. approx 30 years but thanks to PRC who have pushed us to E-4 scale within 8 years and by the next PRC (5 years) we will cross your given career progression in terms of finance then what is the use of your time bound ? Moreover, your time bound is itself biased for direct recruits in BSNL. Qualified peoples always bother for "Respect and Responsibility over Money". Money is always a secondary thing.

You have written that quota in LDCE have been increased from 25 to 33% recognizing the performance of GE-JTOs.

• Dear sir, first of all after qualifying all India cut throat competition, why should we appear in the LDCE for getting promotion to the post which we were supposed to be given after training and LDCE was designed basically to upgrade the Group-C employees to Group-B officers?

• Secondly, what is the good for the department in taking LDCE? Whether you feel that GE-JTOs, who cannot pass the LDCE are not competent enough to deliver the responsibility of SDEs ?

• Do you have any data that all outperforming executives who have been appreciated in recent past and even awarded by various prestigious award of BSNL have qualified LDCE?

• Do you know any PSU in the world where Qualified Engineers who have been screened through all India competition and by very prestigious institute IIT are given JE status since last 8 years and on the other side below matriculates are being promoted to the JAG/SAG level?

This LDCE is nothing but one of the important sources to run parallel business and make illegal money on the cost of the company by some guest officers and nearing to retirement officers.

Dear sir, you have also mentioned that there is ample of opportunity for career growth of direct recruits. Your statement is so childish as it is contradicting to the actual situation that despite having ample opportunity more than 90% qualified executives are still waiting to come out from the status of JE even after 8 years?

• You have mentioned that there is scope to become MT through the MT recruitment. Are you not directly abusing these qualified executives by saying we have scope to become MT while in any PSUs Engineers Trainee (ET) and MT have no difference ? 

• You have appealed to CGMTs to give wide publicity regarding the ample opportunities for direct recruits. Why are you wasting the energy of CGMTs while we are already giving you full opportunity to address the whole executives at one platform after 18th Aug 2009, just come and address all the executives in your funny ways definitely they will get back to work if satisfied.

We are not misguiding our members but it is damn truth that officers like you are not only desperately trying to mislead several executives but also misguiding the board of directors for vested interest. Instead writing such folderol letter undermining the intelligence of qualified executives you should have tried to answer the questions raised, in details with full justification. I hope this time you will avoid saying “it is discretion of the management.”

Staff Relation (SR) Issue:

• On what basis you have given full facilities in the name of limited recognition to some of the executives associations while rule and guidelines does not permit the same? Kindly provide details rules and guidelines, if you have else explain how dare you have given such illegal privilege to others but not to AIGETOA?

• What was the necessity to issue circular in recent past clarifying that only two associations are limited recognized. Was it not your biased intention to give some indirect base to CGMTs so that by showing the same they can refuse to meet with AIGETOA?

• How many letters of AIGETOA asking very genuine clarification have been answered by your office?

• Every associations/unions have right to put up their grievances through democratic way but why do you write biased and unique letter in respect of AIGETOA?
   

Human Relation (HR) Issue:

• On what basis all Group-C JTOs have been upgraded to JTO Group-B and given enblock seniority over direct recruits?

• On what basis many under qualified employees have been promoted to JTO cadre violating BSNL JTO RR 2001?

• On what basis many employee working under GE-JTOs have been suddenly promoted to JTO with illegal relaxation and now to SDE by giving retrospective date seniority of 1996 to 1999?

• Why there is minimum 10 years of experience required for the new TTAs to become eligible for JTOs while it was earlier 5 years?

Financial Issue:

• Why company is loosing market share, revenue and profit if every thing is right?

• Why all 2005 batch GE-JTOs are not getting 30% fitment? Earlier you have given only one reason that JTO is circle cadre and can not be compared with joining of other circle JTO while we have supplied you that in one circle itself juniors are getting fitment over seniors due to randomness in training schedules.

• BSNL has implemented sixth pay commission recommendation in totality for absorbed and guest officers but not implementing cost to the company recommendation of DPE and forming separate trust for the employees who are not covered under pensionary benefit. Why?

• Why qualified executives are not being compensated for their qualification and efficiency when under qualified are working with them are even above them.

• Why BSNL is not capable of maintaining proper accountability of EPF account of hardly 15000 employees while well maintaining the GPF/Pension record of over 3 Lakhs employees?

• Why all executives are getting first time bound in four years but direct recruitee in six years?

• Why BSNL is recovering illegal retrospective contribution of EPF against the law while have already deposited retrospective tax on HRA in recent past of more than 3 lakhs employees?
   

Transfer issue:

Transfer policy in any company is made keeping two basic things in mind 1) requirement of the company 2) to avoid irrespective of cadre the hardship of the employee. Kindly answer following question:

• Whether it is justified to transfer all the GEs who became SDE in either hard stations or rural where simple manning is required?

• Why Inter circle request transfer of GEs who became SDE have not been considered at the time of first posting despite securing high merit in LDCE? Some of the cases have been considered after joining by strong persuasion of AIGETOA but without TA/TP. All these cases would have been considered at the time of first posting so that they could get TA/TP.Who is responsible for the losses incurred to those individuals?

• One side all executives can be transferred to their choice of circle/place mere in three years other side direct recruitee GE-JTOs/JAOs are working for more than 7 years even in hard station have no way to get transfer, are they not human being?

• Why request transfer of GEJTOs/DRJAO have not been considered despite subsequent recruitment?

Finally, we want to appeal Honorable CMD BSNL to be aware and not trust these guest officers who are only working for their vested interests. They may be talented and knowledgeable but their integrity and belongingness to the company is seriously doubtful. We request you sir please spare some time and examine personally the things which are going ahead. Nothing can be so disappointing that being head of the HR, Director (HR) has to ask these guest officers about the experience required for internal candidates in proposed MT recruitment. It shows that how much board of directors are aware about the proposed MT? It also shows that proposed MT is only the vested interest of these officers instead requirement of the company.
