09.06.2010 : Joint Action Committee (JAC) Meeting : JAC leaders met today to discuss and analyse the status of demands / assurances given by Hon'ble MoC&IT in the meeting held on 20.04.2010 during Indefinite Strike. JAC after detailed discussions and analysing the actions taken by DOT / BSNL expressed its serious dissatisfaction that there is no seriousness in DOT for the redressal of the JAC demands and on the assurances given by Hon'ble MoC&IT. Even after a lapse of 1 month and 20 days period the Cabinet Note on IDA pension revision and ITS officers' absorption issues has not been prepared and circulated to nodal ministries, whereas the assurance was given that within one month period the Cabinet Note on both the issues will be sent for inter-ministerial circulation and thereafter within 2-3 months Cabinet approval will be taken.

The 78.2% IDA fitment benefit instead of 68.8% as per DPE OM dated 02.04.2009 has not been implemented by BSNL Management, despite the assurance given by the Hon'ble MoC&IT. Issue is being dragged by forming a committee.

The assurance given by Hon'ble MoC&IT for the procurement of 10 million GSM lines immediately has been reduced to 5.5 million GSM lines by BSNL Board which will adversely affect the growth of BSNL and its viability.

BSNL Management has promptly paid 3G spectrum charges to DOT Rs. 10,186.56 Cr. without showing any resistance and request for deferred payment in view of the continuous decline of BSNL's profit and is now ready to make the payment of WiMAX and Broadband about Rs. 9000 Cr. BSNL Management ignoring the protest of JAC and without bothering the BSNL's financial health is trying to exhaust the BSNL reserves. It was seriously viewed and JAC demanded that 3G spectrum charges should immediately be refunded to BSNL and may be taken as deferred payment on yearly basis and further WiMAX/Broadband license fee charges should be paid only on deferred payment basis.

JAC demanded that Govt. of India should issue instructions / order to all Central / State Govt, departments and PSUs to take telecom services compulsorily from BSNL / MTNL only and also should allow BSNL to procure equipments on competitive rates from the suppliers / vendors on international security standards irrespective of technology.

On the above issues, JAC unanimously decided to resort immediate trade union action programmes i.e. Massive Demonstration on Monday, 14th June 2010 during Lunch / Closing hours and Mass Dharna for one day on Wednesday, 16th June 2010 at BSNL Corporate Office, all Circle / SSA HQs. All the Circle / Branch Secretaries are requested to ensure successful implementation of Agitation Programmes. Future course of action will be decided by JAC shortly.

08.06.2010 : GS, President along with CHQ office bearers at New Delhi met PGM (FP) and discussed :

(a) Unjust mass transfers of AOs & CAOs- We expressed our serious resentment against mass transfer orders of AOs / CAOs issued on pick & choose method in violation of BSNL Executive transfer policy. The AOs / CAOs having 57-58 years age have been transferred to distant Circles in large numbers from the Circles on the pretext of long standing and equalisation of vacancies in Circles. We pleaded that we are not against transfers to consider the request transfer cases as well as to fill up some vacant posts of deficit Circles but that should be strictly as per the guidelines of BSNL Executive transfer policy. We demanded to revise the transfer orders as per the transfer policy. PGM (FP) after detailed discussions assured to examine the objections raised by the associations.

We requested that the DE promotion orders on regular and adhoc basis should be issued before 30th June-2010. So that further ACRs / VCRs are not required. We also resented that for DE regular promotion ACRs of the year 2002 onwards have been again called for by GM (Pers) which will delay the DPC process. It is under stood that the ACRs screening work for DPCs of DE regular and adhoc was already completed by the committed headed by GM(Pers ) and now again repeating the same exercise will further delay the DPC process. We requested that at this belated stage the change of DPC members is not justified. Dir(HR) assured to look into the matter.

(b) Unjust mass transfers of AOs & CAOs- We expressed our serious resentment against mass transfer orders of AOs / CAOs issued on pick & choose method in violation of BSNL Executive transfer policy.
