  1.

GM(A) informed that out of 98 officers whose ACRs were called, 12 are still awaited. ED asked GM(A) and Association to pursue with the concerned GMs and officers to send CRs or certify that CRs are not ready. ED instructed GM(A) to expedite the whole process and issue the promotion orders at the earliest.
  3. Rationalization of staff in different units--Association raised that there is shortage of staff including officers and supporting staff, so rationalization of staff is to be done to meet shortage of staff in different units. ED asked GM(A) to work on this issue and short out the problem raised by the Association

Issue of posting of promotee officers at higher level, DGM and GM was discussed. ED was very positive on this issue, when Association raised that officers do not become eligible for regular DGM and GM because they are not promoted on regular basis and remains on look after basis years together, ED said that he is in favor that all looking after officers should be promoted on regular basis and assured that he will also take up this issue with corporate office.

<<<our<<letter>>>>                   <<<<CO letter to form committees>>

All are requested to give suggestions to the Committee members/ Chairman or Association, so that MTNL working procedures can be stream lined to improve the overall working of the company and ultimately its revenue to get it revived.  

   
09-07-17 Mumbai Circle CEC meeting was held on 07-07-17 in Prabhadevi, telephone House, in which CS Mumbai, Shri G P Yadav & CHQ President Shri P N Vasane explained  the issues like 3rd PRC, 78% fitment, 58 year retirement age etc as communicated to them by GS.They also discussed and decided many other issues, which are to be taken up with MTNL management like enhancement of ensured money in Medical policy .
   
09-07-17 GB meeting of WS Area--was held on 07-07-17 in CGO, which was attended by large number of officers of WS area. Meeting was presided over by Shri S P Singh, DGM. Meeting was addressed by GS, CS, AGS, Shri Sanjay Kumar, CT Shri Satyavir Singh, ACS, Shri M K Singh, & Shri B L Singh, Vice President Shri Pankaj Sharma and Area secretary Shri Mukul Dixit.GS, Shri V K Tomar in his address elaborately explained the issues of MTNL revival, 3rd PRC, 78.2% fitment, 58 year retirement age & promotion avenues in MTNL, 30% corpus and training increment.

MTNL revival---He said that govt policy is against the Public sector and Officers of all public Sectors and Central Govt has come together to oppose the govt policy and efforts are being made from different platforms to protect the Public Sector in general. MEA is part of every platform to protect the Public Sector. Recently BMS also protested against NITI AYOG decisions to privatize the PSUs, MEA extended its support and addressed their rally.

Particularly for MTNL revival, MTNL management , Association & Unions are now making sincere efforts to increase the revenue so that govt perception can be changed towards MTNL. GS emphasized that small increase in revenue can make big difference in the direction of MTNL revival and survival. He appealed all officers of MTNL to make their best efforts to improve the services and revenue of the company and also asked if their is any problem or requirement of any thing in this direction, let it be known to the Association so that matter can be raised before the Management. CMD has asked association to suggest ways to improve the revenue.  

78.2% fitment---GS said that 78.2% fitment is our legitimate right and we will achieve it. He said that Forum of MTNL Unions & Associations is resuming its protest action programme shortly. If 78.2% fitment issue is not resolved than all employees will go on indefinite strike. All officers and employees are appealed to be ready for a big agitation programme to achieve our legitimate right of 78.2% fitment.

Implementation of 3rd PRC in MTNL 

He informed that DPE will likely send cabinet note to cabinet in the next week for approval of 3rd PRC recommendations, and hopefully Cabinet approval will also come in this month. He stressed that Association will go to any extent to ensure that 3rd PRC is implemented in MTNL. He said that MTNL's bad financial condition is because of govt policies and management's inefficiency  than why employees should suffer. He also said that now Telecom Sector is under four lakh crore debt and govt is assuring Pvt Companies that Govt will take care of this debt, than why not few hundred crores for legitimate dues of PSU employees. We will fight upto last to achieve 78.2& fitment and 3rd PRC implementation. Resolution of these issues are important for MTNL revival.

Retirement age of 58 years--

It is the part of delloitte recommendation for MTNL revival, which MTNL board has placed before DOT, and DOT has asked MTNL to calculate financial implication on Govt if it is accepted. Associations & Unions have already opposed it and now also it will be opposed.

Other pending HR issues--

GS explained how there is dissatisfaction and resentment amongst the officers in different cadres and streams because of long stagnation and poor career progression in MTNL and other issues like 30% corpus for post retirement benefits to MTNL recruited employees who are not covered in govt pension scheme & trg increment and other HR issue. GS said that Association is persistently pursuing with management for resolution of these issues for quite long time, but inspite of getting convinced with the arguments of the Association, Management is not resolving these issues. So, now for these pending HR issues, MEA will launch protest action in the days to come.

If the member is coming forward to accept this and the employer also comes forward to agree, then the member will be paid the Pension benefits on the average Basic & DA drawn by them from 54 Yrs to 58Yrs [5 Years average salary]

The calculation of pension will be worked out as follows :

The Pension so worked out will be paid to the member on completing 58 years or 60 yrs as the case may be till the death of member.

Parliament March by NCOA

 

Congratulations to all the office bearers and activists of MEA for making the march a great success.

More than 1800 Executives from various CPSUs participated in the Parliament March organized by NCOA on 22.03.2017. It is a clear message to the Prime Minister, Niti Ayog and the Union Govt that the employees will not allow disinvestment and will go to any extent to protect the interest of the company. Employees form CPSUs also joined the march in the efforts to protect the CPSUs. The CPSU employees resolved to protect the CPSUs from disinvestment/strategic sale. On 3rd PRC, all demanded pay revision without linking with profitability and affordability. CPSUs become loss making due to the wrong policies of the Govt or by inefficient management and not by the employees. The employees are not part of any policy decisions.

  2. Implementation of 3rd PRC in MTNL--GS informed CMD that 3rd PRC recommendations have been submitted to the Govt and are likely to be accepted by govt  in next few months. Association asked him to implement 3rd PRC after the Govt orders in this respect. A brief discussion was held in which GS stressed that affordability should not be the criteria for PRC implementation, because employees are not responsible for dwindling financial condition of any PSU, the same views have been strongly conveyed to 3rd PRC which appreciated our views.
  3. Counting of training period for the purpose of drawing increment--Association took up this issue very strongly and conveyed the resentment of the officers who are being denied their legitimate right as per govt orders. CMD informed that he had noted on file to put up this issue for amendment in RRs, which is very much required to resolve this issue. He assured that he will ensure to get it approved in board, but the amendment in RRs will be from prospective date. It means that coming batches will be covered and for old batches ways and means will be explored how this benefit can be extended from retrospective date after amendment in RRs.
  4.  Changing SCF and Competitive quota as 75:25 instead of 50:50 for Sr Manager Promotion till MTNL promotion policy is revised in all disciplines--This issue was discussed in details and all the doubts of the CMD regarding this issue were cleared to his satisfaction and requested him to fill up the resultant vacancies to bring some relief to the officers who are stagnating in the same cadre for last twenty years. This time we were able to justify our demand and convince CMD that there is no problem if this is done. Let us hope for best. we keep fighting for justified demands
  5. Promotion of all AMs in different streams to DM by diverting LICE quota to SCF quota--Association stressed that the Number of AMs in every stream are less than the vacancies available in DM cadre in every stream, so there is no need to conduct the LICE, but by diverting LICE quota to SCF quota, all AMs can be promoted. But, CMD wants to LICE and said that LICE will be notified shortly.

27-12-16 Strike notice deferred after the Forum meeting with MTNL Management with CMD firm commitment to get 78.2% approved from DOT---

After  the long drawn protest and strike notice by Forum of MTNL Unions and Associations' indefinite strike notice w,e,f 28th Dec 2016, MTNL Management recommended to the government for extending the benefit of merger of 50% DA effectively amounting to 78.2%  in its meeting on 8th December 2016. But no firm commitment was given by management to get it approved from DOT and implement, so Forum continued with its protest action of work to rule, and mobilized employees and officers through Area general body meetings for indefinite strike w.e.f  28th December to get  our legitimate rights including 78.2% fitment and MTNL Revival/Survival. Various RLC conciliation meetings also held in RLC (Central) , New Delhi office. A big lunch hour central Area meeting was held in Corporate office, which was attended by more than 2000 employees and officers.

MTNL Management called a meeting of Forum representatives at 5 PM on 26th December  which was chaired by CMD Shri P K Purwar, and Dir (HR), GM(HR), ED, Delhi, GM(A) Delhi  and GM(IR) were present from management side.  GS MEA Shri V K Tomar and GS MTNLMS Shri Dharamraj Singh along with other office bearers Shri DPS Chaudhary AGS, Shri Sunil Kumar, CS Shri Subhash Gupta, Ex President MTNLMS attended the meeting. All India General Secretary, BMS, Shri Virjesh Upadhyay was also present in the meeting.

CMD explained that board recommendation has been sent to DOT, so there is no need to go ahead with strike. But GS, MEA & GS MTNLMS strongly raised that merely recommending to DOT and seeking financial support does not confirm the settlement of issue and wanted firm commitment from management that issue will be resolved in a stipulated time. CMD firmly assured that MTNL management will strongly pursue in DOT and get the approval to implement 78.2% fitment at the earliest and also assured that other issues will be discussed and resolved amicably in near future. He also agreed to to involve the Association and Union in the discussion and decisions to revive MTNL. After one week, a Joint meeting of Management and union/Association will be called to discuss the revival plan and improvement of services. At last CMD assured in writing that Management will pursue in DOT and appealed to withdraw the strike notice.

In view of firm commitment and positive approach of Managment to resolve 78.2% fitment and other issues, and also due participation of Association/Union in the process of MTNL revival, Forum has decided to defer the protest action of strike notice.

Congratulations and thanks to all office bearers and employees and officers for making all programmes a grand success. Keep it up

Association stressed on MTNL & BSNL merger. Secretary also agreed that merger is the only permanent solution of  MTNL revival and survival, but there are certain issues which need to be addressed before merger and it will take some time. GS asked him that till merger takes place, there is need to focus on certain issues to improve the financial condition of the MTNL and also made clear that employees are not responsible for today's condition of MTNL. Association stressed that first thing which is important for MTNL revival is regular CMD and proper coordination and trust amongst board of Directors, and also employees satisfaction, which is missing in MTNL.  And 2nd thing is the funds for expansion, up gradation and maintenance of services. Focus of the discussion was on these issues and Secretary said that chances are very rare that govt will provide financial support and funds will have to be generated by MTNL itself. He said that he wanted to reduce staff cost through VRS, but govt is not agreeing to give financial support in this respect. He said still he is making efforts to see that VRS is agreed by govt with financial support. He said assets monetization and converting short term loans into long term loans is being seen as  viable solution for funds generation and all efforts are being made in this direction. He said MTNL revival is the Top priority of DOT now a days. Association informed and assured him that employees and officers are doing their level best and ready to go to any extent to ensure the MTNL revival.  Association submitted to him a detailed MTNL revival plan which was shared by Dir (HR & EB) with the Association on the issues which were raised by Association time and again before MTNL management, DOT and Minister of communications..

MTNL board meeting was held yesterday 15-11-16, in which 78.2% fitment and M/S delloittee report on revival were the agenda point, but unconcerned management did not take any decision on these issues and deferred for next meeting. Get ready to fight to ensure MTNL revival and 78.2% fitment. We have failed to understand that what is the agenda of management, whether they really want MTNL to be revived ?. We neither see any action of the Management to improve MTNL services and its revenue, neither for employees satisfaction and motivation which is the key of revival of any company.

Meeting on MTNL Revival with MTNL Management--Meeting was held in committee room, Corporate Office on 11-11-2016. Meeting was chaired by Director (HR), other officers present in the meeting were, Director (Tech), Shri Sanjeev Kumar, GM(HR-I), GM(HR-II), GM(NB), GM(Fin) CO,EDDelhi, CGM(WS), PGM(D),GM(A), GM(IR), ED Mumbai along with other officers of Mumbai Unit and Executive Associations representatives of Mumbai were on video conferencing. GS, Sh V K Tomar along with Shri Praveen Passi, CHQ Vice President, Shri P K Gupta, CHQ Vice President, Shri D P S Chaudhary, AGS & Shri Sunil Kumar, CS Delhi attended meeting along with representatives of other Associations.  Shri P N Vasene CHQ President & Shri G P Yadav Circle Secretary Mumbai along with other office bearers were on video conferencing.

M/S Delloitte, a consultant appointed by MTNL management , submitted its report which  was taken for discussion. The basic salient point in the report was basically on as to how to revive the MTNL both operationally and financially. The time line suggested in the report for revival of MTNL was given to be in year 2024, which is not an acceptable preposition and Association asked to keep time line for 2 to 3 years.

The thrust was on reducing the retirement age to 58 years, so as to reduce the staff cost. In turn MEA suggested that instead of reducing the retirement age, emphasis should be on revenue growth by optimum utilization of manpower. As such, therefore, MEA along with other Associations categorically rejected the suggestion of reducing the age to 58 years in the report by M/S Delloitte but did not oppose the VRS proposal of management to reduce staff cost. ( if size of the shoe is short, you can not cut the foot to get fit in it, rather size of shoe is to be increased to get foot fit in it. Therefore revenue is to be increased to reduce staff cost)

Association also raised that the Delloitte report failed in fully appreciating the need of HR issues and staff satisfaction without which revival of MTNL shall be a distant dream. GS also raised certain issues to draw the attention on how management's negative  approach towards HR issues is demoralizing the officers, and asked to resolve pending HR issues to prepare and motivate officers to get MTNL revived.

GS also raised that reducing staff cost alone cannot work in revival of MTNL until and unless revenue is increased. We have seen that even after offloading the pension liability, MTNL financial condition has not improved, because our focus was on reducing expenditure not on increasing revenue.  Now time is to act on the revival plan aggressively with the focus on certain points like.

1.      Staff satisfaction/ HR issues

2.      Equity infusion by govt

3.     Land monetization to generate funds for expansion, up gradation & maintenance of network

4.      Participation in New govt projects like Digital India, smart city, cloud computing etc

5.      Exploration of new resources for more revenue generation

6.      Refund of Rs 2500/ crore of interest on BWA spectrum charges and other dues towards DOT

7.       Focus on high speed wired broadband ( Copper, FTTH and wi Fi)

8.      Partnership Model

Association assured full support and cooperation  in management’s endeavors to improve financial and operational condition of MTNL to get it revived in next 2 to 3 years and said that we have talked much and prepared revival plan, now action is required. In the absence of early action by management on revival plan, Association will launch protest action to save MTNL.  

Delloitte report on MTNL revival will be placed in board meeting on 15th November. Management has asked our comments in writing on this report.

<<our comments to managment)>>

 

   
08-11-16 MTNL management has called a meeting of all concerned persons to discuss revival plan on 11th November 2016.

20-08-16 Exclusive interview of Honbl'e Minister of Telecom Sh Manoj Sinha with First Post regarding current condition of telecom industry in India and also about MTNL & BSNL:

I am not the minister for just BSNL and MTNL but entire telecom industry. It is my responsibility to ensure consumer satisfaction and protect consumer interests. BSNL and MTNL have a lot of legacy problems. MTNL is worse. More than 70 Per cent of the revenue goes for salaries and pension. Some spectrum which they should not have procured, they had to take out of compulsion of being a government company. MTNL took a big loan whose interest is a burden to pay. Their financial condition kept deteriorating since 2008. In MTNL’s case, we are trying to revive it so that it can stand on its own. I believe that the existence of BSNL and MTNL is required to ensure healthy competition. we are not keeping them alive artificially. Employees of MTNL also realize this. The problem is that the average age of employees in MTNL is 54-55. We have to infuse new blood into the organisation. And we are working on that. Our intention is to make MTNL professionally-run, competent and efficient. <<<< click for full interview >>>>
