I am really thankful Ms Beeni for solving my issue.

05.09.2011 SNATTA CHQ calls upon its members to hold Lunch hour Demonstration on 06.09.2011. against the regressive decision taken by BSNL management to curtail the facilities given to the employees. BWA will hold the demonstrations throughout BSNL.

05.09.2011 BSNL management has withdrawn Medical Facility without voucher from 1.10.2011, All India LTC has been frozen for 2 years and Leave Encashment on LTC has been withdrawn with immediate effect.

05.09.2011                  In this crucial time who should BSNL employees look at for redemption? 

BSNL is made to bleed profusely by the management’s inept and inefficient attitude. Almost at all the times when the management was needed to perform it failed miserably in doing so. At the time when Raja’s were denying the market opportunities to BSNL, the same management failed to work out the way from the mess and loosing the considerable ground to the Ambani’s and Tata’s.

When the Mobile revolution was starting and there was a challenge thrown to the management to safeguard the Land Lines of BSNL it again failed miserably to salvage its’ pride. The Land Line connections which were costing merely Rs.50 per month were lost to the costly GSM handset. No planning or foresight was seen in the management for this impending danger.

An obsolete technology (COR-Dect) was purchased at the time when Reliance CDMA technique had already made headway in the Indian markets. No rational was behind the decision except the most obvious one. BSNL has suddenly out of the blue purchased BWA spectrum worth crores of rupees and are now offering WIMAX connections to the Rural Indian Customers who did not opt for Rs.50 per month Land Line service of BSNL which is far better than it. No sense of responsibility prevailed in Management when taking such decisions. Now it is learnt that BWA is being surrendered by BSNL.

Management had no foresight when it took the 3G spectrum in advance from the DOT and agreed to pay the highest bid amount. What kind of management is this? BSNL stands bankrupt only due to this decision of management. Maruti Car’s are purchased at the time when BSNL was bleeding but since the officials who were beneficiary had no attachment with BSNL did not find any wrong in it. Then Blackberry was issued, why? CDR is lingering and ERP is being loomed. Almost all the ITS officers are getting promotions uninhibited even the BSNL is on decline for several years. How come no responsibility is fixed for ITS? If BSNL is loosing then how com the ITS officers are performing well enough for promotions? Why all the perks and allowances of 6^th pay are being given and the other employees are being denied their genuine rights? Why the Executive Health Check up Scheme is being continued if they are not fitting in the scheme of things?

Who is responsible for the mess in BSNL? Certainly it is management and not the employees. Rise above the affiliations and raise your voice against the injustice being meted out to you. Today it is your LTC, your medical, your promotions. Tomorrow it will be your salary and yes it will be yours only and not for the management.

Let refuse to budge and fight for your right.

02.09.2011 Various unions are reporting that the BSNL management has decided to stop the LTC both Home Town and All India. Medical reimbursement scheme without voucher has also been completely stopped. Management is also planning to have moratorium on promotions till BSNL comes into profit.

Whereas all the decisions of the management are regressive but Withdrawal of Medical reimbursement without voucher by BSNL management shows their shortsightedness which would further lead to corrupt practices by the employees. This decision is like punishing the employees who were more loyal to the company.

31.08.2011 Today CGMT, M.P. Circle has awarded

1. Comrade Vikas Chaturvedi, TTA, Niwari for doing exemplary work in Telegraph services, CDOT Switching, Customer Relation and CDR Utility.

26.08.2011 जब राजा  ही  बन गया चोर । BSNL मे ऐक और WIMAX घोटाला।

Source: Times of India

NEW DELHI: The Central Bureau of Investigation(CBI) has registered a preliminary enquiry (PE) in connection with an alleged manipulation in awarding BSNL's WiMax franchise to a friendly firm, which may land former telecom minister A Raja in further trouble. 
 

CBI sources claimed that a case could be registered against Raja and top BSNL officials for conspiracy and forging documents in the WiMax franchisee deal. The Central Vigilance Commission had found major irregularities during allotment of BSNL's WiMax franchisee to Starnet Communications, which is purportedly owned by some of Raja's close associates. Allegations abound that Starnet had failed to meet BSNL's specifications, and yet it was given the franchise in six circles. 

Officials claimed Raja had reportedly intervened following which BSNL decided to give WiMax to Starnet on a revenue-sharing model in which the private operator would be the custodian of 20MHz of spectrum, and BSNL would get less than 30% of the revenue. Five companies, each of which had turnover of Rs 100 crore annually, had reportedly applied for the same franchise, but Starnet bagged the deal. 

Starnet had allegedly fudged its balance sheet to show a turnover of more than Rs 100 crore.

17.08.2011 "ANNA tum Sangarsh Karo, Hum tumhare Saath hain."

Friends, Anna has raised his voice against the corruption which has engulfed whole India including BSNL. We all know how the recent Ex-Telecom Ministers due to their corrupt practices of benefiting private companies has made BSNL to bleed to bankruptcy. Corruption in BSNL has in many ways is responsible for BSNL loosing out to private competitors.

SNATTA requests all the Unions/Associations to rise to this situation and extend the solidarity towards the ANNA Hazare's Jan Lokpal Bill Movement against corruption.

All are requested to extend the solidarity to the  movement in their respective places and with their convenience.

The support may be extended in following ways:

1. Wearing Gandhi Topi till the movement lasts.

2. Wearing Black badges.

3. By participating in the local level programmes organized.

SNATTA members should ensure that no any services of BSNL is affected and the esteemed customers of BSNL are not put at any inconvenience.

20.07.2011 It has appeared on the website of AIGETOA (All India Graduate Engineers and Telecom Officers association) that CMD BSNL has categorically suggested to them that if they (Direct Recruits) are worried about the career prospects, why they don’t just leave BSNL and find career somewhere else than waiting for career in this company as they are young, talented and qualified and have a lot of scope outside. Friends SNATTA has also got this type of answers from BSNL management at various levels when fighting for Direct Recruits. This shows a clear apathy of BSNL management on the genuine issues of Direct Recruits and their aspirations and in a sense justifies the court case filed by SNATTA on the issue of 30% fitment. We were very hopeful of the present CMD and Dir (HR) but they have let us down. It is really ironical that at a time when the head of the company should think of rewarding the performers and the younger generation of employees in return of higher outputs and exemplary performance, he has spelled out a controversy by suggesting such a negative idea. This will surely let the morale of the young engineers in BSNL to further fall. At one place CMD has endorsed the view of the Hon MOC & IT to reward the CGM’s for achieving the 25% excess revenue but has forgotten the workforce who will do it for the CGM’s. These double standards of the BSNL management and the vested interests have led to the fall of BSNL. Yes the time has come to seriously view the present dismal situation in BSNL. Yes we should also ask why we should continue to take such burdens on us. Why should we reap a fruit whose juice is and will be enjoyed by others? Yes we should introspect.
