WAGE AGREEMENT ON 29-12-2009 DEFERRED

At the last moment, the management insisted to abolish provision of dress, washing allowance, chapal, shoes, stitching charges, raincoat and umbrella etc. which union not agreed. The union insisted to continue the same as a major section of employee are getting the facility since long. A responsible union like BSNLEU can not agree for abolition, instead proposed to provide dress code for all, like other PSUs and demanded the span of pay scales be increased to avoid large scale stagnation.

In the meeting held on 24-12-2009 after a marathon discussion, management agreed to examine the issues.

Secondly due to Ex-Mass and New Year holidays, the top level officers of BSNL are on leave. Hence the date is deferred.

WAGE NEGOTIATION MEETING HELD ON 19-11-2009

THE MEETING OF THE WAGE NEGOTIATION COMMITTEE HAS HELD TODAY.  DISCUSSIONS WERE HELD ON HOW THE REVISED SCALE CAN BE CONSTRUCTED. VERIOUS SUGESSIONS WERE DISCUSSED ON CONVERSION FACTOR , SPAN OF SCALES , STAGNATION INCREAMENTS ETC. DISCUSSIONS ARE IN CONCLUSIVE. NEXT MEETING WILL BE HELD IN COMING WEEK.

IT IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT FOR FRAMING THE PAY STRUCTURES FOR OUR FUTURE BENEFITS. CLAIMING CREDIT AND SPREADING RUMORUS FOR SUCESSFUL WAGE REVISION BY SOME OTHERS

IS JUST LIKE NAMING SOME ONE’S CHILD TO HIS OWN CHILD.

GRASS ROOT MEMBERS ARE NOT FOOL. THEY CAN UNDERSTAND

WHAT IS REAL,
WHO IS REAL,
WHO IS DOING REAL
AND
WHO IS FIGHTING FOR WORKER’S BENEFIT.
