According to CHQ-BSNLEU-ND
Yes! We lack that ‘expertise’ & ‘experiences’ which NFTE-FNTO boast!
FNTO has alleged that BSNLEU has got neither experience nor expertise to clinch any issue. We agree with them that BSNLEU does not have that ‘experience’ and that ‘expertise’ to clinch issues. A perusal of the track record will establish that NFTE-FNTO have sufficiently that ‘experience’ and that ‘expertise’ which we lack. The following few examples are sufficient for proving this.
1. NFTE-FNTO took 7 years for clinching One Promotion orders in 1980s. For this they agreed for ban on creation of posts and surrendered 15% in basic cadre and 5% in supervisory cadre.
2. NFTE-FNTO took another 6-7 years for ‘clinching’ second promotion. For this they surrendered additional 5% posts in basic cadre and 1% in supervisory cadre. Thus NFTE-FNTO took 13-14 years for ‘clinching’ with ‘expertise’ only two promotions after 16 and 26 years. For that they surrendered a total 20% posts in supervisory and 6% posts in basic cadres due to which more than one lakh posts were abolished. BSNLEU which has not that ‘experience’ discussed with management and within 4 years made agreement for four promotions after every eight years for new recruitees and 4-7-8-8 for DoT absorbees without surrendering any posts and not agreeing to any other anti-worker proposals.
3. When the Railway workers went on strike on the demand of Bonus in 1974, our group in NFPTE and Confederation went also on strike. NFTE-FNTO scoffed at us ridiculing whether there is ‘Bonus in China or Russia?’. Due to the strike, first Railway workers got Bonus and then P&T.
4. NFTE-FNTO agreed for 75% Bonus for 2002-2003 as per their ‘expertise’. BSNLEU which does not have that ‘expertise’, through its ‘lack of experience’ got the balance of 25% of Bonus, when it got recognition.
5. NFTE-FNTO surrendered one advance increment as per FR22(1)(a)(1) for promotions in 1999 through their ‘expertise’ and ‘experience.’
BSNLEU got it restored in the New Promotion Policy through lack of that ‘expertise’ and ‘experience’.
6. In the 1st wage negotiation NFTE demanded a minimum of Rs. 3400/- whereas others demanded Rs. 4400/-. Because of its ‘expertise’ and ‘experience’ only Rs. 4000/- could be clinched.
There are umpteen examples and track record of NFTE-FNTO ‘expertise in clinching’ with management and ‘experience’ in surrendering the rights of workers.
BSNLEU don’t have that ‘expertise’ and ‘experience’. Our track record and experience is pro-worker and not pro-management. Our track record is not surrender of rights of workers but fight for workers rights and settle them.
BSNL workers fully understands the role of both BSNLEU and NFTE-FNTO. That is why even combining together, NFTE-FNTO, the biggest two federations in DoT had to eat dust in the 4th membership verification losing more than 50,000 votes compared to what they got in first membership verification. Now they want to act against the workers since they did not vote for them. We sympathise with NFTE-FNTO in their sad plight.
