19.09.2009]
Bonus 2009 – one more arbitrary decision of BSNL management.
BSNL has issued order for this year’s bonus (PLI).
Non-executives are paid only Rs. 3500/-. This is totally unacceptable
to us and we condemn this arbitrary decision. As per BSNL’s MOU rating for
this year, as per the bonus formula, Non-Executives are eligible for
minimum bonus of Rs. 7000/-. This was conveyed to the CMD, BSNL and
Director (HR), in categorical terms by BSNLEU and the United Forum, in the
meeting held on 15-09-2009. Country wide
Dharnas/demonstrations were also conducted by the United Forum on 17-09-2009.
Despite all these, BSNL Board has arbitrarily decided to pay a paltry
amount as bonus. Company’s reduced profit is not an excuse for denial of
eligible bonus. Bonus formula is the only criteria, according to which
Non-Executives are eligible for minimum bonus of Rs. 7000/-. In the case of
Interim Relief, we compelled the management to modify it’s arbitrary order.
Similarly, in the case of bonus also, BSNLEU and United Forum will get the
arbitrary order modified.

CONGRATULATIONS!
AGREEMENT REACHED ON STRIKE DEMANDS.
STRIKE DEFERRED.
Dear Comrades,
After detailed discussions the following decisions have
been arrived at:
1.
Two months pay will be immediately paid as advance in addition
to the 4 months pay advance already made.
2.
New HRA will be paid immediately with effect from February
2009.
3.
The wage negotiation will be expedited
4.
5 year periodicity for wage revision will be referred to DOT as
required.
5.
Pension orders issued as per VI CPC recommendations for BSNL
retirees.. Management will make efforts to get the 50% IDA merger orders
from DOT.
6.
Contract Labour wage issue according to management is beyond
scope of the BSNL. However we discussed the matter and asked the management
to peruse the matter.
On the above basis, the United Forum has deferred the
strike on 19th and 20th Strike.
The agreement copy is being put in
the website after some time.
It is only because of our strength,
determination for struggle and support from all that the management has
been compelled to agree as above.
Congratulations to all comrades.

CADRE OF BSNL.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BSNL has issued order for IDA increase of
0.5%, from 46.8% to 47.3% w.e.f. 01.04.2009. BSNL Lr.no.14-1/2007-PAT(BSNL)
dated 29.04.2009.
Interim Relief is usually granted when the due wage
revision is delayed. For Central Public Sector employees, wage revision is
due w.e.f. 01-01-2007. Already, more than 27 months have elapsed.
Management should have offered IR when there has been such long delay. Most
of the other PSUs have granted either interim relief or pay advance much
earlier. Even after BSNLEU/United Forum of BSNL Unions demanded interim
relief, the management did not take any decision. The demand of the UF is
that Interim Relief of 50% of pay or Rs. 3000/- whichever is more be paid.
If it is pay advance, Rs. 50,000/- to Rs.80,000/- be paid. This is similar
to what is paid in the other PSUs.
The management first offered two months basic pay as
advance. This will come to Rs.8,000/- at the lowest level. After much
discussion in the meeting on 29-04-09, CMD offered 4 months basic pay ie.
Rs. 16,000/- at the lowest level. We could not accept such very meager
advance. The workers are eligible for increase for the last 27 months
since 01-01-07.Even if an advance of Rs. 1000/- p.m. is calculated,
then it will come to Rs. 27,000/.It is pertinent to note here that in the
conversion from CDA to IDA in 2000, all officials got more than Rs.1500/-
p.m. But the management is not prepared to see reason and comparison with
other PSUs and concede our demands.
United Forum is not adamant that whatever it
demanded should be fully accepted. But there is always a benchmark below
which it is impossible to agree.
When even the lowest executive is being paid Rs.
one lakh as arrears (40% already paid and 60% being paid in 2008-09), leave
alone the top executives who are being paid arrears of about 6 lakhs or so,
why the non-executives can not be paid even half of it? Can we accept such
meager offer? Certainly not.
Let us seriously prepare for the two days strike
on 19-20th May 2009. Meet each and every worker and explain our demands and
the management's negative response.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meeting with CMD on Wage
Revision
A meeting of United Forum leaders was held with
CMD BSNL& Director(HRD) today, 29th April at 12 hours.
CMD wanted to know our demands on HRA & Interim
Relief. Com. V.A.N. Namboodiri, General Secretary, BSNLEU & other
leaders explained our demands in detail. The Management offered 4 months
basic pay as I.R.. Staff side stated that this is inadequated and not
acceptable. On HRA issue the management was not prepared to issue orders
stating that there is a difference between Government decissions on
VI CPC recommendations and IInd Pay Revision Committee recomandations. The
staff side demanded issue of early orders on HRA w.e.f.
November 2008 as ordered in the case of executives.
No decision could be arrived
at as the mangement was not prepared to accept our demands. From BSNLEU in
addition to General Secretay, Com. K.R.Yadav and Com S.C Bhattacharya
attended.
Meeting
with Member(F) / DoT on 17th April 2009:
Com.
V.A.N. Namboodiri, GS and Com. P. Asokababu, AGS met Shri R. Ashok,
Member(Finance)/ DoT today (17th April'09). Member(F) assured to settle 50%
IDA Merger for BSNL Retirees within one month. He further assured to
consider the issue of Pension on additional increment granted in lieu of
Grade-IV and to consider the anomaly in case of IDA merger for those
retired between 01.01.07 and 30.09.07 - V.A.N. Namboodiri, General
Secretary, BSNLEU.
Good
News! Promotion Policy approved by BSNL Full Board on 16th April'09 after
much discussion. Now, after cooling period of about a fortnight, it will be
sent to DoT for approval, since new higher pay scales are being introduced.
We are making all out efforts for early approval. - V.A.N.
Namboodiri, General Secretary, BSNLEU.

16th APRIL 09 - Interim
Relief – Discussion with Director (HRD)
Director (HRD) held an emergent meeting
with the representative union BSNLEU today. He proposed an advance equal to
4 months basic pay. But we did not agree and said we can accept Interim
Relief in case an amount equal to 4 months Pay + Dearness Pay is paid as
advance. Director (HRD) said he would discuss with CMD and will inform the
union latest by Monday.
