  28-09-2024 : The General Secretary addressed the open session at Guwahati:-on the occasion of Asam Circle's executive committee meeting and Kamrup BA's biennial conference, an open session was scheduled to be held on 26th Sept 2024 at 11.30 am. The session started after flag hoisting. Com Chandeshwar Singh General secretary hoisted the NFTE flag. Shri J.B.Singh, GM.admin & HR, Shri Chourasiya, GM BA Kamrup other DGMs and AGMs of Kamrup BA were present in the session. com Singh GS inaugurated the session of a gathering of about 200 workers. More than a dozen lady workers were also participating.. GS in his inaugural speech exhorted and elaborately explained the suffering of employees of BSNL. He added that at the time of corporatization, none of the union leaders and employees expected that they would have to face such a painful situation after some time in BSNL. The BSNL which was a miniratna company in the year 2004-05 and was to be entered as Navratna company Of the country, due to the stepmother treatment of the Govt the financial position of the company started to decline from 2007-8. After VRS 2020 also the company did not turn fast toward growth rather a similar critical situation continued till December 2021. Even the salary of staff was not paid on time. The present situation is also critical for the staff. The wage revision is denied due to the loss of the company for which employees are not responsible at all. The profit and loss of any company depend upon the policy of the owner. It is a totally abnormal and peculiar situation prevailing in the company as it's 60 percent employees are facing stagnation. LICEs are conducted in half of the circles and employees of half of the circles are not getting chance to appear in exam in the name of no vacancy. The then BSNL management in 2021 ruined the future carrier of employees in name of restructuring staff and distribution of manpower. About 13 circles became surplus for all Caders. This methodology to manage human resources is unique in the country. This has blocked the facilities of inter circle / BA transfer of the staff, even the spouse cases are denied violating the order of DOPT. GS said that all together the development of human resources and welfare measures for them has stopped. The abnormal delay in rolling out of 4 G-based mobile services reduced the market share to worse. For all these lapses employees are punished which is beyond even the natural justice. Shri J.B.singh GM of HR addressed the meeting and reported that all HR issues of the employees are taken care of on time and settled within a time frame. Shri Chourasiya ji GM BA Kamrup also addressed and reported regarding the growth of services. He added that the relation with staff unions is very cordial and every issue are being settled very smoothly in Kamrup BA. The open session was concluded with a vote of thanks by Com P.C. patagiri who was the chairperson of the meeting. Click Here

  19-03-2024 : Extract from the meeting of District Secretaries of NFTE BSNL Maharashtra Circle on wage revision :- It's a unique situation in BSNL that their is no wage revision since 17 years & no allowances revised since 22 years. More than 54% of absorbed employees & 22 % direct recruited employees have lost their annual increments due to stagnation. This financial atrocity is imposed on the employees for the no fault of their own. New pay scales are denied in the name of affordability & profitability of BSNL. It is well known fact that BSNL is not working for profit only but it has to discharge its duty to serve the nation & society as a whole. To provide communication services in rural, hilly areas, & maintain during natural calamities has been a track record of BSNL although it’s a loss making activity. Thus profitability is accompanied by social obligation only in case of BSNL, being a Govt PSU. It is also performing it’s role as a price regulator & committed to expanding the services at an affordable rates. This all prestigious nature of BSNL is making it as a “strategic sector”. In short BSNL has to implement Govt agenda in which employees have no voice. Naturally denying the wage revision to the employees on the plea of profitability is totally wrong & unjustified. Taking this legitimate stand, NFTE on its own & also along with other unions & associations launched many struggles for getting wage revision implemented. Due to these sustained efforts DOT has permitted to start negotiations by forming joint wage committee & endorsed our right to get wage revision. We hereby earnestly appreciate the hard efforts & tedious exercises done by wage committee under the guidance & leadership of Com. C. Singh & Com. P. Abhimanyu. Now, as assured by the management during our Protest week from 13th February to 17th February, meetings of wage committee have been restarted. We honestly feel that we should use this opportunity to reach to the agreement for new pay scales which will remove stagnation & pave the way for considerable increase in basic pay of employees. In circle secretariat meeting held at New Delhi on 6th March, it was categorically told by Our GS that management is ready to protect Pay Loss & also demand of no stagnation till 2027 will also be taken care of. The maximum possible enhancement in NE-9 scale also can be considered. In view of this situation, we unanimously resolve to appeal to both the Stalwarts of staff side in wage committee to sign the agreement at an earliest for emancipation of employees from the evil of stagnation & financial distress thereof. We also hope that no other factor including fitment formula will become a hurdle in signing the agreement for new pay scales. However, if in future, executives get more fitment than non ex, the same should be made applicable to non ex also. Hope our expectations do not turn into despair. Click Here

  06-03-2024 : The meeting of Joint negotiation committee for third Wage Revision in BSNL for non executive employees was held on 05/03/2024 at the BSNL Corporate HQ in New Delhi. The three representatives of NFTE - BSNL, Comrades Chandeswer Singh, Islam Ahmad and Seshadri participated in it . According to the management side the pay scales circulated in 2022 was insisted for third wage revision on zero fitment formula. The staff side was asked to submit its opinion / objectively if any on the management’s proposal in the next meeting scheduled on 22/03/2024. After this committee meeting General Secretaries of both NFTE & BSNLEU jointly met the CMD and discussed about the third wage revision. The CMD expressed concern about the difficult financial condition of BSNL and requested both the unions to agree to the management’s proposal of pay scales with shorter span . However the CMD agreed to consider any reduction in pay or anomaly arising out of the wage revision despite the management’s best efforts to avoid this for 95% of employees. The notification for the General elections to the Parliament is expected in the second week of March 24 and the code of conduct for elections will begin immediately thereafter. Hence any decision on the implementation of third wage revision had to wait till the new central government is formed . But there’s no bar to continue the joint negotiations. Anyhow the two day meeting of the National Secretariat of NFTE -BSNL beginning tomorrow (06/03/2024) will be briefed elaborately by the General Secretary on the details of the joint wage revision negotiations committee meeting held on 05/03/24 and the opinion of the Circle Secretaries will be sought. Let us dispassionately assess the management’s proposal keeping in mind the difficult financial position of BSNL and evolve a concesus on the implementation of third wage revision which is already delayed by seven years and nearly one third of employees are facing stagnation for the past several years.

He further explained the wrong motive of the management to confine wage revision merely to formation of new pay scales only. For implementation of 3rd PRC & it’s benefits to all existing staff, fitment formula is equally important for which mangmnt adopting negative approach, he added.

  13-01-2023 : Deadlock in the Wage Negotiations - NFTE (BSNL) and BSNLEU write joint letter to the CMD BSNL, demanding his intervention. Com.Chandeswar Singh, GS, NFTE (BSNL) and Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS, BSNLEU have written a joint letter to the CMD BSNL regarding Wage Negotiation. The following points are mentioned in the letter. The Wage Negotiations of the Non-Executives is in a deadlock, due to the following reasons:- (1) The new Pay Scales of the Non-Executives are already finalised in the Wage Negotiating Committee meeting held on 27-07-2018. But, now, the Management wants to cut down the minimum and maximum of those Pay Scales, in the name of reducing the company’s expenditure on Pension Contribution. The 3rd PRC has already given the Pay Scales of the Executives. BSNL Management has no power to cut down those Pay Scales. Then, why the Management wants to cut down the Pay Scales of the Non-Executives alone? (2) The Management says that, they do not want to sign the Wage Agreement now, but only want to finalise the Pay Scales of the Non-Executives and send them to the DoT. This is not acceptable to us. (3) The Management says that, the Allowances cannot be revised now. Allowances of the employees are not revised since the formation of BSNL. Hence revision of Allowances must be done. Both the General Secretaries of BSNLEU and NFTE BSNL have demanded the intervention of the CMD BSNL to resolve the deadlock.
