KANYAKUMARI CWC Decisions & Our move ...PSR


CWC declared full support and solidarity to the serving staff and their unions in their efforts to get a reasonable and decent wage revision. CWC called upon branches to extend all possible help and support wherever possible. Based on information received through whatsapp, CWC felt that the AUAB may be forced to make some understanding for pay revision with 0% or 5% fitment and such an understanding between BSNL company and the staff unions in no way is binding on pension revision which is entirely a different issue to be decided by the Department of Telecom. 

Hence, we shall continue vigorously our efforts to get pension revision with CPC fitment benefits. No benefit shall come to us automatically or as Grace. 

CWC authorised the CHQ Secretariat to take appropriate actions at the appropriate times to realise our just demand for pension revision. Though it is time consuming and costly, legal remedy also can be considered as the last resort. 

CWC called upon branches to approach MPs and enlist their support to our efforts and demand. Efforts may be made to submit the memorandum on our demand to the Prime Minister wherever he visits different places during election campaign. 

CWC directed the CHQ to hold a National Convention of BSNL/MTNL pensioners in New Delhi in consultation with CBMPA constituents. .Efforts should be made to ensure participation of leaders of all central trade unions in the Convention. 

CWC expressed its anger and anguish over the most negative and recalcitrant attitude of bureaucrats in DoT explicitly expressed by not submitting concrete proposal on pension revision as required by the Department of Pension & Pensioners Welfare. [Decisions taken on organizational matters and the resolutions adopted by CWC on other issues like MRS, CGHS, CCA office staffing etc. will be circulated through the next Circular from CHQ.]

WAGE REVISION IN BSNL 

Comrades, BSNLEU CHQ has given some information about the latest position with regard to wage revision in BSNL. Neither NFTE nor the SNEA website shows anything till 1200 hours on today, 15-2-2019. According to BSNLEU Website, the Management offers wage revision with ZERO Percent benefit immediately; thereafter Minister will go to cabinet for approval to grant 5%. Union now demands minimum benefit of 10% fitment. 

Even if there is any agreement on 0% or 5% or 10% (I wish them the best) that has no impact on our pension revision. Nothing will come automatically to us. DoT will take time and go to cabinet for pension revision. If any understanding is reached with AUAB on fitment benefit in wage revision that will be used against us. Legally it is not binding on us. Pensioners are not party to the understanding on wage revision. 

A Company may give wage increase based on its affordability. Government cannot be led by that formula. The Govt is not under BSNL. We are covered by CCS Pension Rule 1972. PRC report or any formula suggested by PRC is not applicable to those covered by CCS Pension Rule 1972.

 So, as decided by Kanyakumari CWC, we shall continue our efforts more vigorously to realize our just demand for PENSION REVISION WITH CPC FITMENT BENEFIT as granted to all others covered by the CCS Pension Rule of 1972.

LET US MOVE ON.... 

CWC meeting at Kanyakumari is over. CWC decided to continue our efforts vigorously to achieve Pension Revision with CPC fitment benefits. ..... Service Unions in BSNL may strike a deal on PAY Revision with 0% or 5% fitment. That has no effect on our pension revision. ...Nothing will come to us automatically. .... Nothing comes as grace. Understanding between BSNL and AUAB is not binding on us. We are not party to any such understanding. AUAB doesnot represent pensioners. 

.... Govt need not follow decision of the BSNL company. 

.... Meet MPs and enlist support for our demand. 

.... We will hold a national convention in Delhi soon participating national trade unions. Date and venue will be decided in consultation with CBMPA constituents. 

.... It is a prolonged struggle. We want a permanent solution. 

.... CARRY ON THE STRUGGLE.
