Yesterday, BSNL staff Unions have organized a candle march in Delhi demanding wage re vision. We congratulate them for the united action. We know candle cannot substitute sun. But it is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.
A sustained, united struggle is the essential pre-requisite to get wage revision. Some have the illusion that CMD and BSNL Board will help them. Attitude of the government is most important.
We have no illusion that once the serving staff get the wage revision the pensioners will automatically will get pension revision. Pensioners have to struggle for that. Our pension revision should be completely delinked from the wage revision issue of serving staff.
However, we are keen that serving staff get wage revision. They lost bonus. Normally Telecom employees used to get maximum bonus. More than the railway workers. Had we continued as Department of Telecom, minimum 80 days’ pay could be expected as bonus for each serving employee. That comes around Rs 18000. BSNL management has saved more than Rs 350 crore. Navrathri and Durga Puja have gone without bonus for BSNL staff.That is another indication. United struggle by entire BSNL employees including officers will become inevitable for wage revision.
The Corporate Office of BSNL has sent another letter today to all CGMs asking to intimate number of cases processed by BSNL and forwarded to concerned CCAs for revision of DoT pension applying the new formulation granted vide order dated 12-5-2017.This is the third reminder in the matter.Number of cases identified against each circle is also attached to the letter from Corporate Office.The number of DOT pensioners in the Circles is as:
