Comrades, BSNL is passing
through a very critical and tough period. Due to our struggle, DoT given the
letter of comfort and Presidential sanction for Bank Loan for OPEX in record
time. Efforts are started for the loans. But getting Bank loan is also not so
easy. Due to the huge NPA in Telecom Sector and the closure of so many
operators, Banks are very reluctant to give loans. Bank loans are not the
solution for the crisis, it will give only temporary relief. We have to
increase the business and revenue that only will save us. Our efforts and
outputs should be double in this regard. We should be dutiful in increasing our
revenue of our company at this hour of crisis. Please strive to encourage our
family and friends to use BSNL services only.
Let us create positive atmosphere
in the organization instead of negativity. Negativity and negative propaganda in
the media will further damage our image infront of the public, customers and the
banks also. Let us isolate those who are propagating negativity. Do not share
the negative news coming in the social media. Think about its impact before sharing
to others.

Campaign
through Twitter: It is a very
effective tool to take the campaign SAVE BSNL forward. The social media plays a
very important role nowadays and Govt listen to that. The issues related to
BSNL is getting lot of media attention today. At the same time lot of negative and
fake news are also coming, tarnishing the image of BSNL. We have to effectively
counter those mal propaganda with factual statements in a systematic manner.
The number of Twitter accounts created and the use of Twitter for
re-twitting the messages are not upto our expectations. Our CSs, SSA secretaries
and Office bearers at all levels are to seriously involve in the campaign,
ensure all the employees and the family members joining the campaign by opening
the account. Pl ensure that our subordinate Non-Executives are opening the Twitter
accounts and re-twitting the messages in #SAVEBSNLINDIA.
GS writes to Shri Anupam
Shrivastava, CMD/BSNL:
Move for approval of Restructuring and HR plan of BSNL – the new
Time Bound promotion policy is to be implemented before taking the proposal for
the approval of MC and BSNL Board. More than 40% of the sanctioned posts and
almost all the vacancies in different cadres will stand abolished once HR plan
is approved by the Board. This will create huge unrest in the company which is
already facing financial crisis.
GS writes to Smt Sujata T Ray,
Director (HR):
The huge disparity and anomaly created in promotions among
equivalent cadres of different wings in selected cadres is to be resolved for
the motivation of the majority of Executives – the repeated assurance to
implement the new promotion policy w.e.f. from the same date of promotion,
29.06.2018 or the nearest review date, 01.07.2018 is to be materialised before
relinquishing your esteemed office to establish that management is impartial in
providing promotions to all the cadres.
MASSIVE RALLY TO SANCHAR BHAVAN ON 05.04.2019
The Govt is taking calculated steps to finish off BSNL, systematically by not allowing it to expand the network and provide 4G services, deliberately creating industrial unrest in the company by stopping the funds and salary payment and making BSNL gradually sick. This is deliberate because about 6,000 Cr rupees, payable to BSNL is blocked by DoT (Rs 2350 Cr on BWA spectrum refund interest, Rs 2100 Cr on excess pension Contribution paid, other receivables from DoT). This in turn will benefit the private operators especially Reliance Jio to capture the entire telecom market. The Administrative Ministry DoT and Hon Minister repeatedly assured AUAB that it is committed for revival of BSNL, 4G spectrum allotment and settlement of HR issues as we demanded, but not done anything on the assurances. When Govt slowly gone back from the assurances and started purchasing time, AUAB in strongest protest, gone for 3 days strike in February.
DoT is meticulously implementing the Govt decisions to finish off BSNL with the support of Niti Aayog, Finance Ministry etc. The DoT finance is creating all the hurdles on each are every BSNL proposal, with the tacit support of the higher authorities. This calculated move of the Govt and the DoT placed BSNL in such a critical condition, that the employees are unable to get their salary. The DoT is not allowing BSNL to take bank loan for the CAPEX for expansion of network or OPEX for operations when other operators are taken lakhs of Crores of rupees bank loan for the CAPEX and OPEX. Due to shortage of funds, BSNL is not even able to pay electricity bills, labour charges, maintenance charges, vendor payments for the AMC, vehicle running etc which in turn is seriously affecting the services.
The AUAB discussed all these issues during the last 3 days and firmly
decided to expose the conspiracies of the Govt and the DoT. Hence, the AUAB has
decided to organise a massive Rally to Sanchar Bhavan on 05.04.2019. It has decided to invite
the leaders of all political parties to address this rally.
All the Circles and SSAs are requested to mobilise the maximum number of
employees for the rally and to make it an historic event.
AUAB also decided to meet all the Political parties at Central level,
state level and the prominent candidates of each constituency to seek their
support for the revival of BSNL.
