ஓருமாதம்ஆயிற்று,இரண்டுமாதம் ஆகிவிட்டது, ஊழியர்கள்ஏமாற்றத்தின்உச்சிக்கே சென்றுவிட்டனர், 78.2 சத கிராக்கிப்படி இணைப்புகானல் நீர்பொய்யான நம்பிக்கையை தராதீர் என கூறி, மாபெரும் பிரச்சாரம் செய்தவர்களை  வாயை மூட இது உதவும்.
இந்த ஒப்புதல் நமது சங்கத்தின் CWC நடைபெறும் நாளில் வழங்கப்பட்டிருப்பது நமக்கு கூடுதல் மகிழ்வை தருகிறது. இன்னும், DOT ஒப்புதலைப் பெற வேண்டியிருக்கிறது என்பதையும், ஒப்புதல் கிடைத்த பின்னர் அதை உத்தரவாகவெளியிடவேண்டிய அழுத்தத்தினை கொடுத்தாக வேண்டும் என்பதை NFTE உணர்ந்தே செயல்படுகிறது ! Forum of BSNL Unions / Associations - ம் இதனை மனதில் கொண்டே செயல்படுகிறது.
அடுத்த கட்ட்த்திற்க்கு தயாராவோம்.

Callous and indifferent approach is dangerous



Very recently a top Manager in Maruti Udyog has brutally been killed causing serious
concerns at all corners. Whatever be the cause for the cruel murder but the heinous act can
neither be justified nor appreciated. The violence has no place in Trade Union movement.
Nevertheless the management and administration of various PSUs including BSNL and the
private sector must ponder deeply on the incident and appreciate that the grievances and
problems of employees must get proper attention and there should not be casual approach
in the redressal. The workers should also be protected from exploitation and discrimination to
avoid such gruesome happening.

The greatest PSU, BSNL, is a service provider in which maintaining of industrial peace is
of great importance and significance. There should be congenial atmosphere for the workers
to contribute for the PSU and to serve the public without fear. This is obviously possible when
the workers are not ony discriminated but fairly treated. The administration at various levels
should be alive to their grievances and should not blame them for their own omissions,
commissions and failures.

Presently lakhs of employees in BSNL are working in the nook and corner of the country
and their problems are enormous. What to say of redressal of their grievances they are being
ill treated, discriminated and being denied their legitimate claims due to one union policy of
BSNL administration. Some officers sitting in the AC Room at BSNL Head Quarters and
within the secured zone are tight and determined to bulldoze the demand of Unions for
BSNL's own rules for recognition. This demand is to ensure that the workers representatives
are properly and adequately represented at negotiating machineries for settlement of their
problems. These officers are adopting casual and indifferent approach on the issue on one or
the other pretext causing unrest and dissatisfaction amongst the employees. While violence
has no place in Trade union movement but callousness some time provoke and compel the
employees to cross the Lakshman Rekha.

We request the top management to ensure that the proposals and suggestions are not
disposed of by lower level officers in a casual and arbitrary way resulting serious concerns
and provocation.

DOOM SAYERS-ON AGREEMENT-COURTESY VLR SSA


News from our CHQ : The BSNL Management Committee in its meeting held on 02.08.2012 has approved the proposal of 78.2% IDA fitment benefit to BSNL employees. The MC approved proposal will be sent to next BSNL Board Meeting, which is expected to be held in the last week of August 2012.
This may come as a shock to the doomsayers, namely PEWA and BSNLDEU, who are orchestrating that 78.2 IDA merger could never be achieved and that the signatories to the 12.6.2012 agreement - including the representatives of NFTE - are cheating the employees. Infact, the employees are well aware that any agreement having impact on our Pay needs to be approved by the MC, Board and DOT and that the signatories to the Agreement need to keep vigil so that such approval and implementation is not unduly delayed. The employees are also aware that 78.2 merger can not be implemented by simply issuing an administartive order.
The employees are also aware that the 12.06.2012 agreement would have definitely been called an Historic one if the representatives of these 2 Unions had got an opportunity to affix their signature on it !
Doomsayers = one who predicts calamity at every opportunity.

78.2% DA merger

02-08-2012 management meeting  approved  78.2%  merger as per the agreement.we expect the same will be approved by board also by last week of august.
