AIGETOA Kerala placed it's strong protest against the displacements from existing BAs for Field Training of new JTOs. We had a series of meetings with GM HR and CGMT BSNL Kerala in this regard for last few days. Despite clear assurances from the management in the meetings with recognised executive association, the deviation made is not acceptable. It is quite disheartening to see that some self proclaimed corners have supported and advocated for such unrest , by seeing the trainees orientation towards AIGETOA. When management gone against their own commitment, these proclaimed corners stooped into such a low level that only the few cases which was already recommended medical & small kid considerations through RTTC principal need to be done. Their age old tactics of deriving Gains from other's Misfortunes is now out and public.

AIGETOA cannot stop by getting only a few cases , as We need all the newly promoted executives to be posted to their requested BAs. While the Management trying new JTOs to make for filling up deficit BAs, we made it clear that existing transparent policies and guidelines cannot be diluted. AIGETOA stand is clear that deficit manpower BAs may be addressed through long stay after considering OTP Transfer requests ( where list publishing is still awaited) and this can be implemented in forthcoming March. Hence we suggested that all the affected candidates are to be posted in their Home BA / requested BA itself in As Is Where Is basis. Even this is the simple and fool proof method being adopted by BSNL Corporate Office itself in promotion orders issued for SDEs and AGMs.

Pick and Choose method from among the affected candidates which is being offered as an interim measure by Management is clear case of Biased attitude. Today (4th Feb 2023) this Association once again deliberated the same with respected CGMT & Sr. GM HR/Admin BSNL Kerala, wherein AIGETOA has firmly reiterated our stand that no new JTOs can be made as sacrificial lambs for protecting long stay people from displacement.

Later on a direct hearing from Respected CGM Sir and association to break the impasse, Our OBs argued vehemently with the management to not disturb the new aspirants in executive hierarchy. AIGETOA left from the meeting by making its stand clear that AIGETOA shall not concede until the entire affected cases are resolved in total.

We appeal to our other Association, that instead of taking side with management and hoping to reap membership by putting the new JTOs in unwarranted hardships, they may please show the boldness to fight for the affected executives. It is easier to fight in WhatsApp and blow trumpets on somebody else’s efforts. But it requires nerves of steel to fight for Justified cause and protect the eligible new JTOs.

We don’t take any heed of the continuous negative campaigning through social media being undertaken from the opposite camp. Our Struggle is with the Management and will continue until the goal is reached and Justice is rendered
