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.
