IMPORTANT DECISIONS TAKEN BY CWC
CWC declared full support and
solidarity to the serving staff and their unions in their efforts to get a
reasonable and decent wage revision. CWC called upon branches to extend all
possible help and support wherever possible.
Based
on information received through whatsapp, CWC felt that the AUAB may be forced
to make some understanding for pay revision with 0% or 5% fitment and such an
understanding between BSNL company and the staff unions in no way is binding on
pension revision which is entirely a different issue to be decided by the
Department of Telecom. Hence, we shall continue vigorously our efforts to get
pension revision with CPC fitment benefits. No benefit shall come to us
automatically or as Grace.
CWC authorized the CHQ Secretariat to take
appropriate action at the appropriate time to realize our just demand for
pension revision. Though it is time consuming and costly, legal remedy also can
be considered as the last resort.
CWC called upon branches to approach MPs
and enlist their support to our efforts and demand. Efforts may be made to
submit the memorandum on our demand to the Prime Minister wherever he visits
different places during election campaign.
CWC directed the CHQ to hold a
National Convention of BSNL/MTNL pensioners in New Delhi in consultation with
CBMPA constituents. .Efforts should be made to ensure participation of leaders
of all central trade unions in the Convention.
CWC expressed its anger and
anguish over the most negative and recalcitrant attitude of bureaucrats in DoT
explicitly expressed by not submitting concrete proposal on pension revision as
required by the Department of Pension & Pensioners Welfare.
[Decisions taken on
organizational matters and the resolutions adopted by CWC on other issues like
MRS, CGHS, CCA office staffing etc. will be circulated through the next
Circular from CHQ.]
