[03.12.2010]CHQ conveys revolutionary greetings

CHQ conveys it’s revolutionary greetings for all the comrades who organized and participated in the strike. This was a glorious struggle to save BSNL. The strike was very successful with the whole hearted participation of the Non-Executives and Executives. The 3 lakh workforce has told in one voice and with determination that the game plan of the government and other vested interests to weaken BSNL will not be tolerated any more.



Comrades, viability of BSNL was the main demand of our struggle. As all of us know that it is not a demand which can be settled in a single day. Rather, it is a continuous process to be persued with the government. Our strike has given out a strong massage to the government that BSNL workers and officers are very serious in restoring the viability of BSNL. Taking the message in right perspective, the new Secretary, DoT has assured his whole hearted support to strengthen BSNL. JAC will seriously pursue this issue through the Secretary, DoT. BSNL management has assured us that it would procure equipments for another 15 million lines, in addition to the 5.5 million lines for which tender is almost finalized. JAC will continue to pressurise both the BSNL management as well as govt. of India to take appropriate steps to strengthen BSNL. The record of discussion given by the BSNL management is placed herewith for information. <>

Rajkot | RajkotSamachar.Com



MNP is finally started
www.bsnlnewsbyashokhindocha.blogspot.com M-09426201999
Mobile number portability (MNP) has long been awaited in India. Its implementation was postponed several times due to technical and bureaucratic glitches.

The service was originally scheduled for launch in December 2009, but the launch date was postponed to March 31 this year. Then it was again postponed to June 30, and thereafter to October 30.

The government clarified that it had taken the decision to delay MNP to October after evaluating whether access providers and long distance service providers were ready to implement the service, and in consideration of the complexity and enormity of testing involved before MNP is implemented.

MNP makes it possible for people to switch operators while maintaining their mobile number. For fear of losing their number, people often continued subscribing to a certain operator's services despite being dissatisfied with service.

MNP finally!

The delay was caused by a variety of factors including policies and stakeholder preparation. Finally, though, MNP will now be available in Haryana starting today.


The countrywide launch of MNP will start from Rohtak district in Haryana. The service will be implemented across the country in a phased manner.

A subscriber who wants his mobile number ported (change service provider) will have to send an SMS to 1900 to obtain a 'unique porting code'. After getting the porting code, he will have to submit a duly filled porting form along with a customer acquisition form and a proof of identity to the service provider he wishes to shift. There will be a porting charge of Rs 19.


Upon completing the formalities, the customer will get the new operator's SIM card, and the new operator will inform him of when he can start using it, which should be within seven working days.

The subscriber can then start using his new SIM at the specified time.

A mobile number porting request can be withdrawn within 24 hours of having been made.

Conditions

For now, mobile number portability is limited to the Haryana circle.

Also, subscribers can switch their service provider only after 90 days either from the day when their existing number was activated, or from the time when they last ported their mobile number.

Before porting, all dues will have to be cleared if it is a post paid number. If it is a pre paid connection, any talk time that remains in it will lapse.

[11.11.2010]NEPP – a Himalayan achievement

Vested interests are vociferously trying to make a propaganda that employees do not get benefit from the Non-Executive Promotion Policy (NEPP) and that it is a useless scheme. But, in whichever SSA it is implemented, it is seen that a large number of employees are benefited. For example, Dharmapuri is a small SSA in Tamil Nadu Circle. The total number of Non-Executive employees in this SSA are only 425. Out of this, 318 employees have got promotion under the NEPP. It means 75% of the Non-Executives in this SSA are benefited. By any means, this is not a small achievement. The appreciation letter, with all the details, written to the CHQ, by the District Secretary, BSNLEU, Dharmapuri is attached for every one to see. <>

[18.09.2010]5th Membership Verification – Some feel helpless and frustrated

The time schedule for 5th membership verification has just been finalized. However, by this time some have already started feeling helpless and frustrated. Out of frustration they have started abusing us and the stand that we took in the all union meeting held on 16.09.2010.



In the all union meeting, held on 16.09.2010 with the management, some unions demanded that the Code of Discipline should be given up and BSNL should frame it’s own Recognition Rules. As far as we are concerned, we cannot take a decision on such a serious issue, without consulting our Circle Secretaries and CHQ office-bearers. So, we informed the management that we could convey our decision on this issue, only after discussion in our Central Executing Committee which is going to meet from 27th to 29th September, at Nagpur. Management said that they could not wait till such time and announced that the 5th membership verification would take place on the basis of Code of Discipline.



Some unions opposed this decision of the management and walked out of the meeting, declaring that they would boycott the 5th verification, if it is conducted on the basis of code of discipline.



As far as we are concerned, we have confidence on the workers. We are ready to face the election either based on the code of discipline or based on the Recognition Rule to be framed by the management. All that we want is some time to take a democratic decision at the appropriate forum. But some don’t have confidence on workers. They require the mercy of the management to run their show. When they did not get help from the management, they have become frustrated and abuse us. We can’t help them.

[16.09.2010]All union meeting with BSNL management on 5th Membership Verification

BSNL management had called for an all union meeting to discuss about the 5th Membership Verification. The meeting took place today (16.09.2010). Com. V.A.N. Namboodiri, President and Com. P. Abhimanyu, GS, represented BSNLEU in the meeting.



In the meeting, some unions proposed that BSNL should give up the Code of Discipline and should frame it’s own “Recognition Rules”, based on which the 5th verification should take place. BSNLEU took the position that introducing of BSNL’s own Recognition Rules was a serious matter and that the same could not be accepted without discussing it in the Central Executive Committee of the union.



Thereafter, management announced that 5th verification would be held on the basis of Code of Discipline only. Protesting this, some unions like NFTE, FNTO etc., walked out of the meeting. They also declared that they would be boycotting the 5th verification, if it is conducted based on the Code of Discipline. However, the meeting continued and the time schedule for conducting 5th verification was finalized. The following is the time schedule for 5th Membership Verification.



Calling for the applications : 01.10.2010

Withdrawal of the applications : 10.12.2010

Notification for dates of election : 01.12.2010

Date of polling : 01.02.2011

[14.09.2010]Delay in the implementation of NEPP- Circle and District Secretaries to note please.

It is learnt that the process of implementation of the Non Executive Promotion Policy (NEPP) has not at all started in many districts. It seems that there is a wrong understanding at the field level that this process can be started only after the expiry of the last date for giving options, i.e., 22-10-2010.If the process starts only after 22-10-2010,then there will be great delay in giving promotions to the officials. This is undesirable. At the intervention of the CHQ, BSNL CO has already issued order to implement the NEPP at the earliest. (Lr.no.27-7/2008-TE dated 06-09-2010) Hence, Circle and District Secretaries are requested to ensure that all officials give their options immediately and also to ensure holding of DPC etc. without further delay.

[10.09.2010]Meeting held on 09-09-2010 by Member (Services), DOT with Joint Action Committee of Unions / Asssociations of BSNL Non – Executives / Executives on Sam Pitroda Committee Recommendations.



Shri S.C .

The JAC submitted its views on the recommendations of Sam Pitroda committee. Discussion took place on the points submitted by JAC. The JAC strongly opposed disinvestment, VRS/Transfer of one lakh employees, unbundling, formation of subsidiary for cell towers, formation of subsidiary for developing vacant land of BSNL in collaboration with a Real Estate company etc. . The JAC told Shri. S.C. Misra that BSNL should be not only considered as a commercial organisation but also as a PSU having social responsibility and as an instrument in the hands of the Government to fulfill its social obligations. The JAC demanded that the Government should suitably compensate BSNL financially, for incurring losses while fulfilling social obligations.



Shri. S.C. Misra told that the meeting helped him in understanding the view point of workers. He further asked the JAC to submit additional note on issues like reimbursement to BSNL for fulfilling social obligations, business plan to utilise the local copper cable in best possible manner in case unbundling is not wanted, etc.



However, we should prepare for serious struggle in order to defeat the anti BSNL policies of the Government. We should make the JAC call for 3 days strike from 19-10-2010 to 21-10-2010 a grand success, in order to protect BSNL and our future.



Com. VAN Namboodiri ( Convenor JAC & President BSNLEU) and Com. P.Asokababu ( Dy. General Secretary BSNLEU) represented BSNLEU in this meeting. Com. P. Abhimanyu General Secretary, BSNLEU was out of station to attend the Circle Conference of Andaman & Nicobar circle.
