It's disheartening to see that Kannur BA is getting lowered on operational and revenue matters for the last one year. This association was demanding various measures to boost the confidence of employees and to streamline various Operational segments including Mobile network and Transmission. Unfortunately the in-charge BA head and the DGMs are hell bent on various decisions which directly affects the productivity and the harmony among employees. In protest to the same , AIGETOA Kannur BA served notice for organizational programmes.

A Lunch Hour Dharna was conducted at Kannur BA HQ on 04/03/2023 ,as token protest against BA administration's biased approach on considering genuine transfer requests and postings of executives.Earlier,District OBs has requested BA Administration through meeting with GM and Agenda meeting on 02/03/23,to consider transfer requests while posting new incumbents in the BA and give importance to vital sections in posting orders but all went in vain.

Demands

1. Avoid negligence of Kasaragod district on mobile network

2. Stoppage of Misutilisation of manpower:
Strictly follow BSNL Rules & guidelines in posting of executives and review vested interests in postings

3. Execution of pending transfer requests

4. Enquiry on eavesdropping and related incidents

Executives also participated the WhatsApp quit program from various groups.

Lunch Hour Demonstration at BA HQ was inaugurated by Shri Muhammed Ali MC (Circle President, Kerala) and addressed by Shri Pramodh KJ(CFS, Kerala) , Sri. Abdul Basith PK(ACS,Kerala).

Notice for Organizational Protest Actions against the Biased Postings of New JTOs

Details

Published on Wednesday, 08 February 2023 15:30

AIGETOA Kerala served notice for Organizational Protest Actions  against the Biased Postings of  New JTOs. ( Letter ).  Even though We acknowledge that the BSNL Circle management has to a certain extent relooked in to the issue and on the basis of clear understanding of  our stand has issued modified Orders. But at the It is highly regrettable  state that management have failed to see broader aspect and genuine inputs involved in the postings and the apprehensions involved in the recent field postings of  new JTOs. We stand to oppose the manner in which these remaining 10 new JTOs are placed / disturbed from their Home BA while there are ample vacancies available in their BAs  and We demand the following

Posting of Remaining New JTOs to their Home BAs

Publishing of Inter BA OTP transfer requests & initiate the processing

A   Lunch Hour Demonstration will be conducted at Circle Office, BSNL Trivandrum on 13-02-2023. Further programs will follow if justice is not rendered.

Promotions Cannot be marked as tool for Displacement

Details

Published on Sunday, 05 February 2023 11:59

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
