Salute to STM Comrades !
Comrades of STM branch, unable to tolerate any further the harassment of DE Intl STM which exceeded all limits, unitedly
and strongly protested against the inhuman attitude of Sri Ganapathy DE Intl STM. On 31st Jan 2009 when Circle
office bearers along with CS visited STM exchange for mobilisation for our all India struggle during first week of Feb 2009
demanding implementation of new IDA pay scales, CS along with some office bearers met DE Intl STM to ascertain the status
of relief of Com Loganathan SDE who got local officiating to STS at the fag end of his career before his retirement in April
2009. His relief was delayed for more than 10 days and DE STM Intl was not only inclined to relieve him but also harassed
Com Loganathan SDE. Even though GM(S) and DGM assured on his relief, DE disobeyed
their instructions and refused to give assurance on his relief to us. Instead he asked CS and other office bearers to get
out and also uttered un parliamentary words against our office bearers. This led to spontaneous protest by our comrades who
raised slogans against the autocratic attitude of Sri Ganapathy DE STM Intl whose behaviour on that occasion was unbecoming
of a responsible officer. Sri Manickam DGM rushed to the spot and he tried to
assuage the strong feelings of our comrades by patiently hearing our grievances. He tried his best to convince DE to issue
relieving order as promised but DE refused. DGM got in touch with GM(S) and the instructions of GM(S) to DE was also not obeyed
by him. Then as per the advice of GM(S), DGM gave his instructions on relief of Com Loganathan
in writing to DE and the copy of the instructions was also given to us to assure us about the relief. Then based on
the request of DGM we withdrew the protest and once again requested DGM to ensure that Com Loganathan SDE is relieved as promised
and also to ensure that our comrades are not harassed by DE. While condemning the attitude of Sri Ganapathy DE STM Intl, we
appreciate the role of DGM in resolving the issue by his unbiased attitude and for handling the situation deftly in spite
of the adamant attitude of DE STM Intl.
We are happy that Com Loganathan SDE was relieved on 2nd Feb 2009. We hope that Sri Ganapathy DE STM Intl will at least in future change
his inhuman attitude and desist from harassing our members

2008 at Chennai that
CHQ will explore the possibility of impleading in Supreme Court to safeguard the interest of seniors'
RESOLUTION
The Circle Executive Committee of SNEA(I) Chennai held on 26th Sep 2008 unanimously resolves that
- The fixation of
seniority in TES Grp B had created heartburn among senior comrades who genuinely feel aggrieved.
- The Dept. did not follow the DOP order
of 1985 on fixing seniority and carrying over the vacancies
- The attitude of department deserves condemnation as it acted in
a partisan manner in implementing the earlier Tribunal orders not only in respect of applicants but for all similarly placed
group of officers and it filed writ petition on their behalf in Madras High Court vide W.P.21961 of 2001, against CAT Madras judgment, which was rightly dismissed by
Madras High Court while upholding the CAT Madras judgment which was delivered after detailed study of the whole seniority
issue. Now also when the group of officers went to Supreme Court against the Madras HC order and when status quo is ordered
by SC the department initiated action against the spirit of Madras High Court judgment when no stay is in force. (We fail
to understand that what was the urgency in releasing the promotion order in a piecemeal manner beneficial to one group of officers when thousands of STS vacancies are available to cover the broad spectrum
of officers in the seniority list)
- CHQ cannot remain silent on this crucial
issue citing court orders as it affects the morale of many senior comrades who continue to stand solidly by the side of the
CHQ in all its endeavors. CHQ should immediately intervene effectively to urge
the department to drop its partisan attitude and present facts before the courts so that natural justice is delivered to senior
comrades and CHQ should ensure that the department does not sabotage the justice delivered by Madras High Court to senior
comrades. CHQ may explore the possibility of impleading in Supreme Court to protect the interests of senior comrades
- CHQ should ensure that DPC is convened
immediately for the thousands of STS vacancies and promotion orders issued in one bulk at the earliest

Circle Secretarys Report presented in CEC on 26th September
2008
Comrade President and my dear comrades,
After the success of IDA Merger and new progressive promotional policy
we are faced with the threat of IPO and other moves of Government detrimental to the interest of BSNL. Top management controlled
by ITSA again tries to manipulate and delay absorption into BSNL when we were made to believe that the issue is reaching stages
of final settlement.
IPO and Other Issues of Financial Viability: On the issue of floating an IPO, MOC&IT
assured that the government would take final decision only after consultation and discussion with the Unions and Associations
of BSNL. The representatives of the Joint forum out rightly rejected the offer of giving a minimum of 500 shares at Rs 10
each to each employee of BSNL on ESOP scheme Hon'ble MOC &IT also highlighted the decisions that DOT has already taken
to strengthen the financial position of BSNL like waiving off license fees on wired lines in rural areas, earmarking slot
for 3G spectrum for BSNL/MTNL, compensating BSNL to the tune of Rs 2000 crores from USOF On the issue of merger of ITI with
BSNL, Secy/DOT informed that an overall plan for the revival of ITI is being presently examined by a committee in BIFR and
they are yet to finalize their recommendations. Joint Forum lodged their strong protest and opposition over the proposed move
of the BSNL/Management to allow private service providers to roam on BSNL network. Our association and AI BSNLEA were called
for a discussion by CMD on the issues relating to very low growth of services. CMD informed that while BSNL added nearly 3.5
m lines ( Wired+ GSM + CDMA ) during first quarter of this year, nearly 2.8 m were surrendered and the net addition during
the first quarter was hardly 0.7 m in all the segments. What is alarming is that CMD revealed that surrender in GSM segment
has reached incredibly high proportions.
Absorption of ITS : With the approval of the note by the Union Cabinet we expected
that the ITS absorption issue has come to the conclusive stage. But top management controlled by ITSA again tries to manipulate
and delay absorption into BSNL and aspire to be on deputation for some more years. Joint Forum leaders met at New Delhi on
17th Sep 2008 and resolved to demand repatriation of all employees and executives who were absorbed in BSNL back to DOT
Fixation of Seniority in TES Grp B: The fixation of seniority in TES Grp B is under
detailed discussion due to various court judgments. This issue has created heartburns among senior comrades who genuinely
feel aggrieved. They expect the CHQ to focus this serious issue and impress upon the management to settle the issue finally
without affecting the interests of senior comrades
STS Promotion : 59 SDEs of Chennai Telephones (out of total 1099) have been promoted
to STS cadre on ad hoc basis. In the promotion order issued by BSNL HQ only 8 SDEs have been posted to CHTD even though as
on date 20 posts of STS were vacant. We met CGM on 3rd July 08 and requested him to write to BSNL HQ for re allotment for
all SDEs based on the justification that in Chennai telephones lot of developmental activities are taking place. Based on
our letter CGM wrote to BNL HQ requesting re allotment for all. Meanwhile we took up the issue with our CHQ also. Re allotment
orders have been issued periodically based on our request
Payment of arrears of Stipend : Com GS took up with Dir(HRD) the issue of payment of arrears of stipend
on IDA scales instead of CDA for JTOs recruited in 2001 and 2002.
Local Issues
Transfer Issues: Due to pressure from vested interest administration transferred
Com Lakshmanan without any reason. The matter was taken up with GM West by CS,AS(W),OS(W) Subsequently the matter was escalated
to the level of GM(O). President, CS, ACS met GM(O) and GM(O) was convinced and ordered cancellation of the transfer order.
The issue of transfer of Com Uma SDE KOD Extl was taken up with GM(W). After GM(W) clarified that the services of the comrade
were required the comrade accepted the transfer. The issue of relief of Com Rama JTO STM Intl taken up with GM(S) by CS and
ACS(S). Com Vasanthy SDE Ponneri on transfer to Chennai relieved. Com Viswanathan SDE KAL on transfer relieved .
Security at GSM sites: Tender has been finalized for providing securityCash
Collection at CSC: The issue of collection of cash at CSC by JTO/SDE was discussed with CGM. As a sample case KKN CSC
was taken up and we impressed upon the CGM that we are not against opening cash counters at CSC. We are ready to arrange for
infrastructure and maintain them. But the supervisory function of cash counter operation is to be done by accounts personnel
only. But Administration is trying to play with us on the argument that in some CSCs cash counter operations are handled by
JTO/SDE and going on smoothly. We have to take a uniform stand and implement
Other Issues taken up:
· The executives of IT Cell were agitated over the move of large scale displacement
of SDEs from IT Cell. A special meeting was held Com President, Com CS attended and a resolution was passed. Based on the
resolution the issue was taken up with administration.
· Based on the instructions of BSNLHQ the issue of EPF Contribution Statement
was taken up with GMF requesting to send a copy of Annexure A containing the details of EPF contribution deducted for all
employees to us regularly for effective monitoring. We have also requested to accept enhanced employees contribution from
JTOs
· The issue of reorganization of STM division was taken up with GM(S) and
DGM(A)
· The issue of harassment of Smt Mangalam
JTO STM Extl by subordinate staff was taken up with GM(S) demanding action

Brief of the proceedings and
important decisions taken by the CWC meet at Thiruvananthapuram on 28th & 29th Sept.,07.
CWC meet was held
at RTTC Thiruvananthapuram where the arrangements for boarding and lodging and the meeting at the auditorium were quite comfortable
and the ambience in which the RTTC is located made the meeting quite memorable and exciting. Besides, the involvement of Comrades
of Thiruvananthapuram RTTC in particular and of Kerala Circle in general for the success of the meet was extraordinary. That
way we are all satisfied that Comrades of Kerala Circle put in their best efforts and their role for successful completion
of the conference was quite commendable.
All
the Circles, except NE I were represented. However, CSs of Uttaranchal, NE I & II and Chattisgarh Circles did not participate
in the meet.
The
meeting started on 28th sept.,07, with flag hoisting ceremony at 0930 hrs, amid slogans of SNEA(I) Zindabad, Inquilab Zindabad,
CWC Thiruvananthpuram Zindabad etc. After unfurling of flag by the CHQ/ President, the business of the august house commenced
in the auditorium of RTTC at 1000 hrs, after observing silence in memory of the departed Comrades and self introduction. GS
recalled the services rendered by Com Vithal Rao, our beloved ex/AGS, his commitment and sincerity, and a resolution expressing
heartfelt condolences of the entire house to the bereaved members of his family was adopted by the house.
After opening remarks by the Comrade President, GS reported the developments
having taken place in the intervening period from holding of Goa CWC meet till date, highlighting notably following significant
breakthroughs accomplished during the period of about a year:
A) Settlement and implementation of promotion policy
-- radical changes in very harsh attendant conditions imposed on both time bound as well as functional promotions, getting
first financial up gradation for adhoc STS to the scale of JAG, reducing outside recruitment at STS from 50 to 25%, ensuring
functional promotion from TES Gr B to STS, getting one increment on functional promotion without change in scale.
B) Fulfilment
of our demand after sustained efforts of providing residential service mobile connections with STD/roaming and other facilities
and enhancing the limit of fixed line residential facility,
C) Counting
of residential period after tireless persuasion from 1.10.2000 for the purpose of getting first financial up gradation in
respect of all those whose pay scales were upgraded after 1.10.2000 and thereby bringing about complete uniformity in implementation
of new promotion policy,
D)Issuing of promotion orders from JTO to TES Gr B
for 75 % quota against the vacancies of 2004-05 and 05-06, after continuous persuasion,
E) Holding of TES Gr B competitive examination for
about 4000 TES Gr B vacancies, despite lot of hurdles,
F) Creation of 2300 posts of JTOs, 600 SDEs, 400 STS
and 150 JAG for the man power plan for the years 2005-07 in high technology areas, and
G) Playing a frontline and crucial role in mobilizing
media, political and public opinion which finally led to observance of historical strike on 11th July,07 on the critical issue
of placing of orders for procurement of GSM, 2g+3g, equipment and which finally resulted in placement of orders for procurement
of 22.5 m GSM lines.
Unresolved
issues mentioned by GS relating to promotion policy are A) service weightage, B) no outside recruitment at STS, and C) first
financial upgradation after maximum of five instead of six years. Issues like extending benefit of five years of qualifying
service for those seeking VRS, withdrawal of order of MOF restricting payment of pension by govt. to 60% of payment that it
receives from BSNL on account of licence fees, cess tax, dividends etc., are under serious consideration of DOT and the govt.
Issue of option to continue in CDA scale till the date of promotion/retirement is under serious consideration of DOP &
PW. Future challenges enumerated by GS to be effectively met are recruitment of MTs, deficiencies existing in new transfer
policy, absorption of ITS and continued financial viability of BSNL.
Decisions of the CWC on some important issues.
A)
Recruitment of MTs: After detailed discussion on this important issue for about four
to five hours in the context of the instructions issued by BSNL Management on recruitment of MTs and the stand taken to oppose
it organizationally, along with other Associations, it was decided to make all round and complete organizational preparation
to face the situation arising out of issuing of instructions of 13th Sept.,07 on recruitment of MTs. GS summed up the elaborate
discussion by urging upon everyone present in the august house to immediately undertake extensive organizational tours and
prepare grass root membership for an inevitable struggle on this important issue. As regards the opinion expressed by the
house on various aspects of instructions issued by the BSNL Management on recruitment of MTs, GS felt that, in view of diverse
opinion on and the complexity of the issue, CHQ should have some flexibility to negotiate on the issue to reach a settlement,
of course, within the ambit of the opinion expressed by the house. But what is extremely significant and vital is the level
of organizational preparedness, GS informed the house. As of now, BSNL Management appears to be quite firm to go ahead with
the decision that it has already taken on the issue of recruitment of MTs, GS apprised the house. This stand of GS was by
and large endorsed by the house.
B)
New transfer policy guidelines issued by the BSNL Management: GS informed the house
that this Association has all along opposed tooth and nail the policy of rotational transfers, both in DOT and in BSNL. Even
though the instructions of DoT on rotational transfers date back to 1981, yet they could not be implemented primarily because
of their irrelevance for a massive sized service organization like DOT/BSNL and our tough and vigilant stand. However, the
new guidelines issued by BSNL do not speak of any rotation, but only addresses the issue from point of view of meeting the
shortages, exigency of services, meeting requests and shortages at tenure stations etc. Even with regard to losing claim over
time bound promotion in case of JTOs seeking transfer from one circle to another, it is applicable to only those who seek
transfer before completion of five years and is meant to discourage JTOs from seeking transfer through political and other
means. In those cases where the transfer is issued under rule 38, after completion of five years, existing situation remains
unchanged. GS also informed the house that the criterion for counting of stay for inter circle transfers has also been changed,
the stay now onwards shall be counted from the executive cadre i.e JTO onwards, and not from the cadres below JTO, as used
to be the practice. We also had demanded counting of stay from SDE onwards for inter circle transfers. After detailed discussion,
lasting about four hours, GS rounded off the discussion by informing the house that genuine discrepancies existing in the
policy and pointed out during the course of discussions shall be duly communicated to the Management and best efforts would
be made to sort them out.
C) ITS absorption and financial viability of BSNL: - GS apprised the house about the sustained, consistent and virtually
single handed efforts of the association in the direction of forcing the absorption of ITS Gr A and the steps it has been
relentlessly taking in this direction. GS also gave a detailed account of the legal action that it has been contemplating
to initiate and the extensive discussions it has been having of late with the lawyers on the question of finalizing most appropriate
legal action that could be taken and accepted by the courts. As regards creating pressure on DOT to initiate tough measures
on the issue by way of appropriate trade union actions, GS informed the house that such actions shall have no affect in isolation
and have to be initiated from the platform of joint forum only. GS did not agree with the suggestion and perception of CS
and CWC member from MP Circle that Association should chalk out independent organizational actions and accordingly adopt a
resolution. They felt that Association at the CHQ level is not serious on this issue and is not taking any concrete action.
GS reiterated that their perception on this issue has to be realistic and the right strategy would be to create sufficient
pressure through united action from platform of Joint forum and also to continue to explore appropriate legal intervention.
GS assured the house that Association shall continue to treat this as a priority issue and act accordingly as it has been
doing. He urged upon the house to appreciate the limitations that it is subject to as far as taking decisions to launch independent
organizational actions on this issue is concerned. However, both the representatives from MP Circle remained unconvinced.
On the issue of financial viability of BSNL, GS informed the house that the association shall continue to play a frontline
and major role in focussing all important issues of viability of BSNL and also shall play a positive and leading role in mobilizing
opinion on issues of importance in the joint forum. This has again to be done from the platform of the Joint forum.

DT. 5TH JULY 2007.
URGENT – FOR THE KIND ATTENTION OF
ALL OUR MEMBERS AND THROUGH US
TO ALL IN BSNL REALIZE AT LEAST NOW OR REPENTENCE WILL BE OF NO MEANING
LATER
Dear Comrades,
You are aware of the
ongoing conspiracy from the top level of the communication ministry, not started just this day, but going on for quite some
time in such a way to push BSNL down to its extreme and nothing short of putting ‘death nail’ to BSNL.
We, as responsible
persons in BSNL, owe a strong duty to unite all the people in BSNL, irrespective of caste, creed, union, association, cadre
(by which we are normally divided), educate the entire three lakhs and odd non-executives and executives of BSNL and fight
against the calculated attack and the conspiracy. Racing for the credit etc. will be of any meaning if only we are able to
unitedly fight against the plots and attacks both open and hidden.
We already staged one
day Dharna on 29th June 2007 throughout the country pressing for the release of P.O. for 4.5 crores GSM lines Equipments. The relentless Government does not seem to realize its responsibility to upkeep and
support BSNL which is a Government owned PSU.
The talks presently going on in the Governmental
side indicates that the Government (Ministry of Communications in particular) is not likely to nod for the P.O for 3-G for
BSNL now through this present tender (if at all it is finalized as promised). This clearly means
that BSNL cannot be in the contemporary list of Service Providers on the 3-G area which again is similar to the same status
when the cell connections were introduced in our country, licence of service providing
given only to private operators and not DOT, a Government organization.
With our tireless workforce,
adaptability, patriotism and selfless service from all in BSNL, we have come thus far in the cellular area in spite of very
late entry. But the hard reality remains that however you strive hard, we are not in a position to capture the entire market
since the ‘gap of starvation years’ and the effect of first entrant’s advantage in any trade, is yet to
be wiped out.
It is time, we realize the reality, conceptually understand the conspiracy and the calculated
attack on BSNL, so steep an attack that BSNL cannot range in the competition, why range in competition, cannot even survive.
All these moves not from any invader, but from the Government and the Ministry.
Parent attempting to
poison the family. Let us awake, club ourselves will all the forces that would be interested in the survival of BSNL, unite
the forces, and fight. Unity and timely action is second to none in getting the desired laurels. Even now if we do not realize
and act, any repentence of the future will be of no meaning.
L.H DEMONSTRATION IN ALL
MSUs of Ch. TD by members of Joint Forum of Unions and Associations in BSNL on 6th and 7th July 2007.
Invite all and participate.
Full Day Dharna on 9th
and 10th July (Venue will be intimated later)

PSU officers to go on nationwide strike from Dec 22
New Delhi, December 19, 2006
M
Rajendran
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's assurance that he will examine their demand for salary revision has
left the 1.60 lakh central public sector officers unmoved. Their decision to start an indefinite strike from December 22,
which will badly disrupt telecom, power and oil services, remains unchanged.
A four member delegation of the coordination committee of officers' associations of central public
sector units (CPSUs) that has called an indefinite strike across the country from Friday, met the Prime Minister on Tuesday.
The prime minister told the group, led by Basudeb Acharya of the CPM, that he would take the matter with the Minister for
Heavy Industry.
The committee has apologised to the general public in advance for the inconvenience and hardship
it will inflict in coming days.
"The indefinite strike is going to affect the life of countrymen adversely. The forum apologises to all countrymen for all the inconveniences caused due to our strike.
The forum reiterates that its movement is a step to save PSUs and prevent an exodus of talent from
the PSUs," said Secretary General, NTPC Executives' Federation of India, and Convener of the forum told Hindustan Times.
The Forum of officers has demanded merger of 50 per cent of dearness allowance (DA) with their basic
salary from January 1, 2005 which will put them on par with the Central government employees.
Removal of monetary ceiling on payment of gratuity, release of lump sum ad-hoc pending discussion
with next pay panel for salary revision from January 1, 2002 and retaining years' periodicity and removal of 50 per cent ceiling
on allowances.
In the power sector, NTPC, NHPC will participate in the strike while in the Oil sector 13 PSUs like
Oil and natural Gas Commission (ONGC), Indian Oil Corporation, BPCL, HPCL, EIL, Oil India Ltd will participate in the strike.
Amongst the PSUs in communications sector BSNL and MTNL officers will take part in the strike along
with BHEL, Coal India Ltd and all its companies, and SAIL and all its subsidiaries.
Pandey pointed that the extreme step was being taken since their issues have not been addressed even
after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had appealed to all PSU employees on September 5, 2006 to desist from strike and promised
that their demand of DA merger will be met with in 4 weeks.
"We were told that Department of Public Enterprises (DPE) has initiated a Cabinet note sheet in this
context but it got stuck some where in government process," said Pandey.
About 45,000 executives from the oil sector are taking part in the strike. About 18,200 officers from coal
sector across the country will join the strike. (courtesy:- Hindustan Times)

Officers
of PSUs to go on strike
CUDDALORE:
The officers' associations of the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd and other public sector undertakings (PSUs) will go on an indefinite
strike from December 22 in support of their demands.
According
to N. Balakrishnan, State secretary of the BSNL Officers' Association, the officers of the 14 PSUs, including the oil companies,
Steel Corporation of India Ltd and the National Thermal Power Corporation, will join the strike.
Their
demands include improvement in service conditions, merging 50 per cent of dearness allowance with basic salary and formation
of a pay commission to revise the salary structure. — Special Correspondent (courtesy:- The Hindu)
Our Assistant
General Secretary, Comrade Vithal Rao, From Karnataka Circle is no more with us today. He breathed his last at around
11:30 am today (29-07-2007)due to a massive heart attack. He was our young, bold, dedicated and dynamic CHQ office bearer
and had also served as Circle Secretary, Karnataka for a long period.
His demise is an
irreparable loss to the SNEA(I) fraternity. We express our deep condolences to the bereaved family and pray to the Almighty
to give strength and courage in this hour of crisis. May, his departed soul rest in peace.

Central PSU employees observe hunger strike

They demanded merger
of 50 % of Industrial Dearness Allowance with basic pay |
CHENNAI : Employees of central public sector undertakings (PSUs) in Chennai
observed a day-long hunger strike on Thursday demanding merger of 50 per cent of Industrial Dearness Allowance (IDA) with
basic pay.
More than 200 employees, a majority of them members of the telecom union
— Sanchar Nigam Executives Association — took part in the protest organised in front of the office of the Chief
General Manager, BSNL Chennai Telephones.
The strike call was given nation-wide by the National Confederation of
Officers' Association of Central PSUs (NCOA).
According to NCOA, though the Wage Revision Committee had taken a favourable
view on merging 50 per cent of IDA with the basic pay for central PSUs, a final decision on the matter was getting postponed
inordinately.
The NCOA said though the revised rates were already in place for other
Central Government employees, the Finance Ministry was taciturn in approving of a similar merger structure for Central PSUs.
Speedy clearance sought
Activists said the irony in their case was complete as even their respective
PSU managements were willing to fork out the revised rates. Through the protest, the NCOA sought to expedite the Finance Ministry's
clearance of the proposal.
COURTESY: THE HINDU DATED 11-05-2007
CHQ
CALL:
All SNEA
units may observe one day Hunger Strike on 10th May,2007
at NCOA Zonal HQtrs. as described earlier. please note
that the Hunger Strike is for One Day on 10th May,2007 All Office bearers/Activists are requested to coordinate with the NCOA units and make the
programme a total success.
Congratulations to the fighting Comrades of SNEA who with determination
and patience continued the struggle until most of the adverse clauses
relating to both time bound and post bound promotion were amended and benefit of one increment on vertical promotion in current
scale was achieved. Let's clearly recongize and understand meaning and importance of struggle and patience and denounce opportunism.i.e. "whatever management offers .....accept theory" Keep on fighting...... Keep united to win further battles...
Co-ordination Committee has deferred the ongoing
programme of agitation to give more time to the DPE to study the demand in the memorandum submitted to the Hon. Prime Minister
by the Co-ordination Committee. The Prime Minister forwarded the same to the DPE through the Cabinet Secretary. The
Secretary Power who had a meeting with the Cabinet Secretary assured the leaders that the Cabinet Secretary informed him that
the issues will be seriously considered by the DPE for its resolution. The Cabinet Secretary has also assured the merger
of 50% DA with the basic w.e.f 1-01-2005 will be included as a special item in the terms of reference of the Wage
Revision Board for Executives in CPSUs after obtaining the approval of the Cabinet. The Minister for Heavy Industries and
Public Enterprises away in Assam will return to the Capital only tomorrow night. The Co-ordination Committee is likely to
meet the Minister as soon as he returns to the Capital for taking up the matter directly with him also.
Congratulations Comrades, it was a superb fight. Your magnificent response to the first-ever stay out strike launched
by the association was incredible. Throughout the country the valiant comrades of SNEA stayed out in large numbers with strong
hearts. Keep up the spirits - - We applaud each one of you!!

Dear Comrades,
You are aware that
NCOA (of which SNEA (I) is a constituent) has given a call for observation of Lunch Hour /Closing Hour Demonstration throught
the country on 4th May 2007 followed by observation of Relay Hunger Strike on 10th and 11th
of May 2007 to press for merger of 50% of DA with Basic Pay (the issue is presently pending with the Wage Revision
Committee)
You are also aware
that TRAI, the supposed to be a Regulatory Body, has for quite some time been indulging in affairs/decisions either directly
or in concealed manner to to weaken the two Government owned PSUs viz. BSNL and MTNL. The recent move of TRAI that the infrastructure
of BSNL/MTNL will have to be shared by all the service providers is one such cynic move, which cannot be accepted by anybody
who is patriotic. The Joint Forumn of Executives and Non-Executives has given a call for observation of Demonstrations throughout
the country on 4th May 2007 to oppose and defeat the ill motives of TRAI. As persons who are deeply and sincerely
concerned on the viability of BSNL, we are unequivocal means, joining the Demonstration.
To suit the local conditions,
it has been decided to join the Lunch Hour Demonstrations being held in the following four places. The slogans during the
Demonstration will include ‘merger of 50% DA with Basic Pay’ as part of NCOA call.

Our Central Working Committee meeting was held at GOA on
25th and 26th Sep.06. Our Chennai Telephones Organisation
was represented by our three CWC members Com.M.Munuswamy, Com.S.Venkataraman and Com.B.Karunanithy in addition to the Circle
Secretary Com.V.Sundar. Shri A.K.Sinha CMD BSNL was the Chief Guest. The salient
points of discussions in the CWC are as follows:
Transfer Policy:
No transfer order should be issued in the middle of the academic year. No
transfer for those who are at the age of 55 or more to any tenure circle. Our Association should impress upon the BSNL management
to cancel the transfer order already issued in respect of Divisional Engineers/Sub Divisional Engineers. The counting of stay
in a territorial circle whould be finalized after having a detailed discussion with our Association.
Promotion Policy:
Though it is said to be in the final stage and that all the decks have been cleared, we should impress upon the management
to release the policy and implement the same without any further delay. The CMD
promised that he would personally take all the needed steps to clear the Promotion Policy.
Promotion from JTOs to SDEs: The entire process has already been completed including the DPC.
The promotion order would be released immediately after ascertaining the vacancy position in various circles and after
consolidating them. The orders are expected to be released by mid-November 2006.
Promotion from SDEs to Adhoc STS: Already most of the circles have complied with the furnishing of CRs and the assessment reports. Once all the CRs are received at the Head Quarters, the process would be completed and promotion order
issued in phases.
JTO (officiating) Pay Scale: We would strive for getting the pay scale at Rs.9850 as in line with the judgement of Ernakulam Court and
done in Kerala Circle. However it is understood that the BSNL is likely to prefer
an appeal. We are also contemplating with the BSNLEU to take up the matter of
‘one time special relaxation’ so that all those waiting are covered in one
lot. The seniority question is also to be sorted out.
The aspirations of our young comrades recruited by BSNL
are all to be considered positively and will be taken up with the management to the best of our efforts.
Viability of BSNL: Very serious discussions took place. We should not allow the sharing of infra-structure by other operators at any cost. Quick decisions in respect of tariff changes/relaxations in offers, deep-routed marketing
of our schemes etc. are the need of the hour.
The magnificent NCOA Congress unfolds at Birla
Institute of Science and Technology (BITS) Goa. His Excellency Shri.S.C.Jamir Governor of Goa inaugurates the function
. In his address Shri.Jamir described the PSUs as the temples of India. He also traced the historical facts about the setting

“
Our Circle Office-bearers
had a meeting with our CGM in the Conference Hall on 29th April 2006 to discuss the following agenda items:
Issuance of service cell connections
to the left out executives as agreed to in principle and as an interim measure, restoration of
95/other level access to the WLL mobile service connections of the executives::::::::::::CGM opined that provision of service cell
connections can be considered for specific areas based on merits. CGM also expressed
that restoration of 95 facility and other level access to the WLL mobile service connections can be considered if ceiling
limit for WLL mobile bill is fixed as Rs.500/- per month.
Calling for options/requests
prior to issuance of Transfer Orders both within the Zones and between Zones in respect of executives in order to be in smooth
transition:::::::::::: General Manager (O) stated that options are being called for issuance of
Transfer orders and for considering officiating arrangements in maximum cases. All the request transfer applications will
be recorded and orders will be issued during the month of March/April of every year except on Administrative emergency cases.
Request transfer applications are to be forwarded with the recommendation of the concerned GMs.
Filling up vacant DE posts
by local officiating in time and without delay by taking advance action ::::::::::GM (O) stated
that delay will be avoided for issuing local officiating orders and now the cases were taken upto August 2006 for considering
officiating arrangement
Non-refunding of excess Income
Tax recovered from the executives by Zonal DDOs causing ordeal of claims from the IT Department posed on individuals:::::::::
GM (F) stated that AO HQ has issued a circular to all officers well in advance (July 05) for furnishing
the details of savings etc. But it has been noticed that many of the officers
have submitted the savings details during Jan 06/Feb06 and by this time the IT has been deducted and remitted to IT on quarterly
basis. In some cases the IT recovery is more. As IT has already been remitted
it was not possible for the DDOs concerned to return back the excess recovered IT amount.
GM (F) also appealed for submissions of the IT proposals well in time by the executives so that this like hardship
could be avoided in future.
Posting a regular incumbent
Director (Senior Principal) to RTTC Maraimalainagar::::: Administrative action has already been
initiated and is under process for posting DGM to RTTC
Sanction/Payment of Honararium
to the Engineering Executives in a very belated, hap-hazard, unpragmatic, injudicious approach and with extreme partiality
which is causing heart-burns and demotivation amongst our members::::::::: CGM opined that sanction
memo for honorarium should have been issued in advance and suggested for issue of appreciation letter for the best performance
exhibited by the executives.
Unhelpful/Inhuman treatment
meted out to some of our executives ordered to officiate in next higher grade (SDE to Adhoc DE local officiating)/denial of
due fixation of pay on absorption in BSNL to some of our members by wrong/unhelpful interpretation of BSNL Corporate Office
orders/clarifications::::The option exercised at the time of absorption has to be honoured for
pay fixation also and this issue will be looked into and cases will be sorted out zone wise with uniformity
Hardship/Difficulties faced
by our members in respect of certification of residential telephone connection bills generally and in particular in the Administration
Areas
RSTC bills can be certified
with justified reasons by the controlling officers.
The following items were also discussed outside the agenda:
EPF contribution of JTOs recruited by BSNL::::GM (F) said the matter has been taken up strongly
with the BSNL HQ and decisions are awaited. Understandably, BSNL would make the
payment affront and later recover from the individuals.
Posting of exclusive Broadband maintenance team with Laptops to each division:::GM
(O) said that this would be put into effect initially DGM wise. After balancing the availability of JTOs in various units with excess/shortage, division wise arrangement would be considered.
Issuance of ID cards to the
officiating JTOs as JTO::: GM (O) opined that we can consider issuance of ID cards to the officiating
JTOs as Officiating JTOs after taking approval for the same from the CGM.
Non-drawal of annual increments for those who are officiating as JTOs during the officiating period::::
Case will be studied and suitable instructions will be issued to the respective pay drawing officers
Extra-ordinary gap between surrender of impress and payment
of imprest causing a virtual halt-mechanism on day-to-day work as well as cases
of exigencies:: GM (F) said that instructions would be issued to reduce the gap to minimum without
crippling the BSNL accounting procedure. Also, last time, the over-delay was
attributable to the SBI strike.
Entry of pension contribution
in the Service Books::: This would be studied and suitable instructions would be issued to the
zones.
Circle Secretary said that more than year-old problems faced by our members in the GSM units are
pending in spite of assurances given in various meetings. CGM said that we can
discuss the issues pertaining to GSM units in a separate meeting which can be arranged later.

CGM indicating the fields like external/transmission installation, transmission

Ltr No. SNEA/Admn.Corr/2006/7
Dated 14th June 2006
To
The Chief General Manager,
BSNL Chennai Telephones,
78, Purasawakkam Road,
Chennai-600010.
Sir,
Sub: ‘Resolution passed in the Circle Executive Committee of our Association’ and Request for personal
immediate intervention – reg
Please refer to our letter No.5 dt. 25th
May 2006 wherein we had expressed our deep shock over the issuance
of charge sheet under Rule 14 to Smt. Chandra Radhakrishnan JTO Vadapalani RSU/CSC by the General Manager (West) as a reward
to the enthusiasm shown by the J:TO in promotion of BSNL and having acted as per the oral directives from time to time from
the senior officers and our serious concern that the demotivating effects such deeds would cause to the interests of BSNL. We had appealed to you to take immediate remedial action to get the
charge sheet withdrawn forthright.
To be honest and in fact, the Circle Executive Committee of our Association which met on 24th May 2006 and
the extended General Body which met on the same day, directed us in one voice to condemn the attitude of the General Manager
(West) and to issue notice for Trade Union Actions with immediate effect starting from non-cooperation, Demonstration etc.
and to go for further intensive T.U.Actions. But, ours being a very responsible Trade Union Organisation containing membership which is fully devoted to the cause of
BSNL in its priority, which we have amply proved right upto this time, we did
not choose to act in haste. We tried our level best to restrain the feelings
of commotion and emotions in their minds
and appealed to them to hold patience, purely with the hope and confidence that we would be able to sort out the issue
with the pragmatic officers in the healm of affairs. But, with the indications
that are present, we are apprehended that the situation is slipping out of our
hands and we are getting extra-ordinary pressure from our membership whose resentment is steeply growing, to implement the
decision taken in our CEC viz. to start Trade Union Actions immediately if the charge sheet is not withdrawn forthwith.
We would like to reiterate the following three points:
The charge sheet has been issued by the General Manager (West) without application of mind and without making any
personal assessment.
The charge sheet has been issued to the JTO for no fault on the part of the JTO except obeying the directives of the superior officers from time to time and taking personal interest and showing enthusiasm
towards the interests of BSNL.
When corporate outlook and mindset is expected of everyone as has been indicated from time to time by all officers,
starting from CGM to officers down below, especially in the present competitive scenario, if any problem surfaces during the
acts carried out with customer oriented and corporate outlook, in stead of settling the problem and offering a strong supporting
defence in favour of the person facing the problem, letting them down with a rigid governmental mind, spineless escapism under
any guile whatsoever, shirking the responsibility as a superior without any leadership quality, etc. cannot take the organization
to the desired extremes and supremes.
Sir, these days, when we are fully conscious of the fact that there is absolute need to take our organization and the
products of our organization to the customers’ doorsteps and in these directions we are directed to carry out marketing
activities through door-to-door canvassing, umbrella markettings, lavish offers of relaxations, redunding rigid formalities, we feel that we should not be driven into the confusion of whether to market our products
or show our rigid rules. If the management is of the opinion that it is one’s
own responsibility to safeguard himself/herself with the application of rigid rules of a typical Governmental set up rather
than enthusing towards the growth, development, sustenance and pride of the organization, let it be indicated to us black
and white so that we can direct our members to choose the right priority unmindful of the organizational interest.
In view of the above facts, we are driven to feel that the frustration, anger and resentment in the minds of our members,
feeling of insecurity in the hands of officers like the General Manager (West) is fully justified and, if the management fails
to understand the sentiments in its correctness with a corporate outlook, leadership quality and if the charge sheet issued
under whatsoever guile is not withdrawn unconditionally and henceforth, we are
unrestrainably constrained to inform you, Sir, that we will be left with no alternative except to launch the Trade Union Actions
as has been directed by our Circle Executive.
The T U Actions will start with a Lunch Hour Demonstration in front of the O/O General Manager (West) on 21st June 2006 and non-cooperation from the same date. Further course of the Trade
Union Actions will be intimated in due course.
With still hopes prevailing that your goodself would personally intervene and do your best to avoid confrontation,
Yours sincerely,
(V.Sundar)

Dt. 25th May ‘06
To
The Chief General Manager,
BSNL Chennai Telephones,
78, Purasawakkam Road,
Chennai-600010.
Sir,
We are pained and constrained
to bring the following for your kind information and immediate corrective action.
You are aware of the stiff
competitive environment that the telecom providers face and as one of the service providers, BSNL Chennai Telephones is bound
to take and is taking all steps to retain the existing customers and to increase the customer base. We hope you would agree
with us that time and again, we, the field level executives in all the areas are being directed orally/verbally to keep the
customers at ease and comforts and promote the interests of BSNL. Many instances
are there when our senior officers have told us to sell maximum sim cards keeping in view only the promotion of business. With these directions and on our own interest, keeping in mind only the interest of
BSNL, you are aware, that our field officers work extra-time, take extra and personal initiative and interest to promote the
business of BSNL unmindful of the hardships and risks involved. To site an example,
the Road Shows and Umbrella Marketings have been ordered and are being implemented sheerly with the intention of bringing
back our lost customers, increase the customer-base mostly breaking the ice of rigid formalities and creating an easy reachability
to the customers to be at least in tune with other service providers. (Many rules, laws, regulations have become either redundant
or absolute barriers for promotion of business especially in the existing competitive environments). For these all to be in
sustinence, mere directives from the top level officers are not sufficient but an encouraging, motivating and protective mechanism
is also absolutely essential. In the competitive marketing strategies, ‘strict dos and donts, rigid formalities, hard regulations etc’ cannot and should not have any place. This is the reality.
We are pained to bring to your
notice that the General Manager (West), without applying his mind and making any personal assessment, has issued a Rule-14
charge sheet to one JTO Smt. Chandra Radhakrishnan of Vadapalani RSU/CSC. This, for no fault on the part the J:TO, except
obeying the directives of the senior officers from time to time, working extra-time, taking extra initiative and trying to
keep the customers at ease with the interest of BSNL only in mind. This extreme demotivating act of the General Manager (West) has spread like a wild fire and has created in the minds of the field executives,
a feeling of insecurity, resentment and anger. (Sir, it I not diffricult for
us direct our members to give top priority for ensuring their personal safety and security in the official dealings, if we
also forget the present scenario and the interest of BSNL). Irrefutably, this
like demotivating actions would only create a serious set-back to our machings forward. Sir, you being the Head of Chennai
Telephones, would agree with us that there is a strong duty for you to remove from the minds of the executives the ‘doubts
and apprehensions’ ‘feeling of insecurity and demotivation’ by taking immediate corrective action. We are under tremendous pressure from the entire membership of our organization, to
give a call for Trade Union Actions. But, being a very responsible T.U. Organisation
and containing membership which in entirety is for protecting the interests of BSNL, we are of the opinion that this like
a situation should totally be avoided. Under the guile of any external agency,
if the directives (oral/verbal) given from time to time by our top level officers, when implemented, are not supported if
not appreciated, we are afraid that the situation may go out of control and ultimately
the interests of BSNL may lose any priority that is needed.
We hence appeal to you to immediately
interfere and direct General Manager (West) to withdraw the charge sheet immediately so that ‘confidence would be instilled’,
‘feeling of security will be regained’, ‘demotivating actions corrected’, ‘non-recurrence of
such disturbing misdeeds ensured’ and our members can continue to work still more vigorously with the objective of promoting
the interests of BSNL for which timely and correct act we would be grateful to you,
Thanking you in anticipation of your positive response,
Yours sincerely,
(V.Sundar)

Charge (ADC) - There should be no further reduction in ADC. strict action should be taken by cancelling licence and initiating
criminal proceedings so that such violations and cheating do not take place.

last mile copper

BSNL executives call off stir
By Our Special Correspondent
NEW DELHI, MARCH 23. The executives of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) today called off
their work-to-rule agitation following an assurance by the Communications Minister, Dayanidhi Maran. The stir had affected
STD links, points of interconnect with mobile networks and railway reservation at several locations.
"This morning, we met the United Forum of BSNL Executives along with the CPI(M) leader, Nilotpal
Basu. An agreement was reached and the executives decided to call off the strike. Normality will be restored soon. With this
we can go the next step forward that all the other issues can be handled by the BSNL management," said Mr. Maran. "Their issues
would be heard by the BSNL management and there are certain grievances which will be discussed. But the Department of Telecom
will not go further into that and we will be behind them to see that everything goes smoothly."
The BSNL Chairman and Managing Director, A.K. Sinha, later said that a committee of senior
officers would be formed to look into their demands, including the main one of addressing their promotional avenues at the
time of absorption.
The BSNL management had taken a tough line during the initial days of the agitation that began
on March 15 with the management at some regional centres even threatening the executives with dismissal. However, with the
stir showing no signs of weakening and communication links being increasingly affected, the Indian Telecom Service cadre-dominated
BSNL opted for a conciliatory approach that led to the meeting between the executives and Mr. Maran.

The Hindu Report:
Gear up for competition, telecom employees urged
By Our Special Correspondent
CHENNAI, OCT. 30. The Union Communications and Information Technology Minister, Dayanidhi Maran, today told
telecom employees to consider the present realities and gear themselves for competition from private players.
If they did not get their act together now, it would be too late, he said them at the first all-India conference
of the Telecommunication Employees Progressive Union (TEPU) here. "If one BSNL connection is gone because you were not polite
to a consumer, it is gone for ever," he reminded the employees. It was because the public sector telephone manufacturer ITI
did not act early enough that the Centre had to bail it out.
Though there were persistent demands from some quarters to privatise Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited, he and
his party, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, were against the move, he said. Mr. Maran told the employees to treat the consumer with
due respect and courtesy.
G.L. Jogi, general secretary, Sanchar Nigam Executives' Association, wanted the Minister to ensure a level-playing
field in the sector. "We do not have a level-playing field," he said and alleged that the regulator had become "an ally of
the private operators" and that the licenser too was looking the other way when private operators blatantly violated norms.
"The private sector has not provided a single connection in the rural areas... we have done miracles," he said and added that
the practice of one major private operator creating dummy numbers had jeopardised network security.
The TEPU president, C. Kuppusamy, said the union had representation from 11 States. Over 200 delegates, including
80 from other States, were attending the first conference. He handed over a memorandum listing the demands of the employees
to the Minister. Mr. Maran said he would consider the demands and respond later.

calculating the arrear for the respective years. So this has to be settle before 6th of April as they will be submitting the
Tax Report by 7th April.
Hence it is requested to submit their 10E1
Form positively 31st March 2004.
2.Those who got promotion after 1-10-2000
are requested to excercise their option to the Department to fix from the date of Promotion.

The case taken
by our Association for allowing option to retain CDA pay scales till next promotion has been accorded in the PO itself. This
has been further clarified by our GS - and text of the relevant order is reproduced below.
The POs issued for permanent absorption contain instructions regarding regulation of pay on absorption- " pay will be regulated
in terms of Para 4 of DOP& PW OM No.4/18/87-P&PW (D) dated 05/07/1989" which reads thus "The Public Sector Undertaking/
Autonomous body will formulate the terms and conditions of service in the new body at the earliest possible date. The Employees will however have an option to retain
their Government pay scales till their next promotion or retirement whichever is earlier or to come over to the service conditions
of the PSU / Autonomous body. However until the exercise of option they will be continued to be governed by the pay scales, leave entitlements
and terminal benefits under the Government." Members find
it beneficial to exercise such option may do so immediately with a copy to our Circle Secretary. Our Circle Association will meet our Circle administration and bring this order to
the notice of the Accounts & Finance authorities for implementation of the said order in respect of the optees.
This is likely to benefit thousands of officers belonging to Telecom, Civil/Electrical and , Accounts & Finance wings.
