ASK YOURSELF AND ACT AS PER VOICE OF YOUR HEART

Ask yourself and decide :

• Whether BSNL is having dearth of professionally qualified executives and need external candidates (MT/DGM) for executing the responsibility of managerial post?

• When all CPSEs of the country make recruitment of ET/MT at single level (Either E2 OR E3) and promote them to TOP management level then why BSNL is proposing MT recruitment above already recruited professionally qualified candidates?

• BSNL is giving pay scale upgradation but not giving functional responsibility of the pay scale to professionally qualified internal candidates but making recruitment of external candidates. Do we feel that we the professionally qualified direct recruits are not competent to handle the responsibility?

• BSNL has made recruitment of DGM from among the candidates working in any private company having engineering degree and 12 year post qualification experience in any domain but person working in BSNL having similar and even more qualification and having 12-20 years experience in BSNL are not even eligible to appear in the DGM recruitment. Do we think that we are the waste of the engineering graduate of the country and BSNL has given us job as we were rejected by all the private company of the world?

• BSNL has made direct recruitment JTO/JAO (Group-B) at E1A and have been placed en-block junior to under-qualified JTO/JAO (Group-C) in the name of experience but now we are having qualification as well as experience of 3-13 years but we are being placed en-block junior to similarly qualified proposed MT. isn’t it the dual stand of BSNL?

• Why BSNL has recruited qualified candidates at executive’s cadre in the name of JTO/JAO and not recruited MT just after formation of BSNL in Oct-2000?

• If BSNL will recruit external MT at E3 pay scale then how BSNL will extend E2 pay scale to JTO and E3 pay scale to E3? Are we ready to accept degradation i.e. E1 for JTO and E2 for SDE just to create the space for MT?

• If BSNL will recruit external MT at E3 then what will be the career of direct recruit JTO/JAO cadre? Very few individual may qualify the internal MT but what about whole cadre. Will this JTO/JAO cadre become absolute and their career will be mingle with the career path of TTA?

• All the ITS officers and absorbed employees are enjoying the government pension and even allowances but we the direct recruits are denied of superannuation benefits against the order of DPE/GoI. Do we think that this is not the discrimination and we don’t need social and future security for old age?

• Last but not least, do we think that only few direct recruits will sacrifice themselves and will be able to achieve all these? In other words don’t you think that we will definitely succeed if all the 10000 direct recruits protest together?

This association is very much sure that when you will ask all such questions to yourself, you will reach to conclusion that some big conspiracy has been done with direct recruit JTO/JAO in past. We have never been treated like officers but treated like non-executives hence always ignored our legitimate dues extended by DPE. This conspiracy was done just to prolong the deputation of ITS officers and to create batter bargaining situation by saying that there are no qualified officers in BSNL who can be substitute/successor of ITS. But now, the fates of ITS officers are decided and they are going to join BSNL after year-2016 taking the benefits of 7th pay commission of central government. Now present authorities of BSNL are not interested in making recruitment of external candidates in the name of MT/DGM but decision taken earlier by the past authorities to recruit external MT/DGM cannot be withdrawn simply. To withdraw such unwarranted decision authorities need strong will power to say that decision taken earlier is having no merit and part of some conspiracy but such will power seems impossible. There is only option of mass protest and unrest among existing qualified executives which can give present authorities a sufficient ground to withdraw such decision.

Don’t think that few direct recruits will be able to resolve all these problems. If you think that you are qualified direct recruits executive and having every talent and competency to handle the managerial responsibility and you deserve at par pay scale and retiral benefits, you must extend your unconditional support and active participation in this fight. This association doesn’t know what will be the end result of this fight hence doesn’t guarantee anything but it is quite sure that sitting ideal is not going to yield any result.

If you are direct recruits executives and convinced with the issues, don’t wait for others, please expend some time and money to send representation to all authorities as mentioned in website irrespective of your belongingness to the association. This will not only show our togetherness for common cause but 10000 representations will surly attract the attention of authorities. It is needless to say that this association is only association fighting for legitimate rights of the direct recruit’s executives since year-2005 with very limited resources and still succeeded in getting resolution of many issues. If all direct recruits will support this association in all dimensions financially, physically and mentally then definitely we can get all the things we deserve.
