Participations by our team:  Besides the report by circle secy, our team participated in the following discussions:

1. VRS: There was serious discussion on this issue. Some members favours the scheme some opposes. General Secy briefed that as a trade union policy all Associations do oppose VRS as it is never a conducive affair for any company because of (1) the expert hands do drain out. (2) The company suffers financial burden. (3) The works of company hampers qualitatively and out-sourcing is a must. (4) Opposition to VRS will compel the company to enhance the quantum of offers etc. Our circle secretary gave the following opinion: VRS is a no doubt a lucrative offer for members but it is a sweet killing system of golden-egg-hatching hen for the employee. It will no doubt reduce the best working hands- the working strength (members) and thus the trade unionism, Associationism will automatically die out. Since working force will be less, Association will not be having strength to redress the service quality of employee with the company. Administration of company will exercise monopoly. Maximum work will be done by outsourcing. Thus it will lead to “Privatisation” that the department has been really trying since long. Days were there when privatization of a company in the international forum was helping its growth but those days have gone as seen from the decline economy of developed countries.  Thus it is advised to oppose the VRS tooth and nail.

   After deliberations from all the circle secretaries and CWC members it was decided to oppose VRS but the strike call given on 10th November be deferred to January because of present situations of BSNL.

2. ITS absorption issue:  General Secy first briefed about the issue with present status. He said that now the Telecom ministry is very serious on absorption. A final offer has been given to them that end on 8th November.  If they do not agree they must be sent to surplus cell of GOI. In that case our Gen Secretaries of Joint Forum was asked by Telecom secy whether our senior members can manage or not. It was advised to send the resolution of the house to submit to the GOI that we pledge to manage the situation if so develops. In any case our Association does not allow any further lingering on the issue.

3. Discussion on Gen Secy report:  The General Secy report was being discussed Para wise and passed with suggestions. In ACP scheme for Civil wing the views were placed by our CWC member Com S K Jena. He emphasized that the promotional avenue of civil wing JTOs is almost blink. The HR issued be properly dressed up with ACP up to 2007. The number of SDE posts also found less as declared by the Department.
