സന്തോഷം... അതിയാന്‍ പോയികഴിഞ്ഞപ്പോഴെങ്കിലും 'ഞമ്മള്‍ ഡീമോറലൈസ്' ആയി എന്നു പറയാന്‍ ധൈര്യം വന്നല്ലോ???
SNEA കഴിഞ്ഞ രണ്ടു വര്‍ഷങ്ങളായി പറഞ്ഞ കാര്യങ്ങള്‍ ഇപ്പോഴെങ്കിലും ശരിയാണെന്ന് ചില സംഘടനകള്‍ക്ക് പറയാന്‍ ധൈര്യം വന്നതില്‍ വലിയ സന്തോഷമുണ്ട്. ട്രാന്‍സ്ഫര്‍ ‍ പോളിസി പ്രകാരം രണ്ടു വര്‍ഷം പൂര്‍ത്തിയായ എല്ലാവരെയും തിരികെ കൊണ്ടുവരണമെന്ന് 2014ല്‍ ശ്രീ. എം‌എസ്‌എസ് റാവുവിനോട് SNEA ആവശ്യപ്പെട്ടു, പറ്റില്ല എന്ന രാജതീരുമാനം SNEA എതിര്‍ത്തു... നമ്മള്‍ അതിശക്തമായ സമരമാര്‍ഗ്ഗങ്ങള്‍ സ്വീകരിച്ചു..

ശ്രീ. റാവു അഴിമതി നടത്താനും കേരളത്തിലെ ട്രാന്‍സ്ഫര്‍‍ പോളിസി തന്നെ പിന്‍വലിക്കാനും തീരുമാനിച്ചു. SNEA മുട്ടുമടക്കിയില്ല, നമ്മുടെ സഖാക്കളെ ശിക്ഷാനടപടികളിലൂടെ വേട്ടയാടിയപ്പോഴും നമ്മള്‍ തളര്‍ന്നില്ല ... ഇവിടുത്തെ ഓരോ ജീവനക്കാരനും ഓഫീസര്‍മാര്‍ക്കും നീതി കിട്ടാന്‍... റാവുവിന്റെ അഴിമതി തടയാന്‍.. നമ്മള്‍ ഓരോരുത്തരും നമ്മുടെ ശമ്പളവും ഭാവിയും തുലാസിലാക്കിക്കൊണ്ട് പോരാടി. ധിക്കാരത്തിന്റെയും അഹങ്കാരത്തിന്‍റെയും ആള്‍രൂപമായി നിന്നിട്ടും ഒരു രാജാവിന്റെ മുന്നിലും നമ്മുടെ അഭിമാനം അടിയറ വെച്ചില്ല... ..

പക്ഷേ വല്യേട്ടനും ചെറുമക്കളും എന്നു അവകാശപ്പെടുന്ന രണ്ടു സംഘടനകള്‍ ഒറ്റക്കെട്ടായി 'എന്തൊക്കെയോ കാര്യസാദ്ധ്യത്തിനു' വേണ്ടി ഇവിടുത്തെ തൊഴിലാളികളുടെ ന്യായമായ ആവശ്യങ്ങളെയും BSNL താല്‍പ്പര്യങ്ങളെയും തള്ളി പറഞ്ഞു... സത്യത്തിനും ന്യായത്തിനും നേടിയെടുത്ത അവകാശങ്ങള്‍ സംരക്ഷിക്കാനും നമ്മള്‍ പോരാടിയപ്പോള്‍, അധികാരികളുടെ എച്ചില്‍ കഷ്ണങ്ങള്‍‍ വാങ്ങി അവര്‍ക്ക് വേണ്ടി വിടുപണി ചെയ്യുകയും സ്തുതിപാടുകയും ചെയ്ത ഈ സംഘടനകള്‍... SNEAയുടെ സമരം നേതാക്കന്മാരുടെ സ്ഥലംമാറ്റം മാത്രം തടയാനാണെന്ന് പത്രസമ്മേളനങ്ങള്‍ നടത്തി പുുച്ഛിച്ചവര്‍… ട്രാന്‍ഫര്‍ പോളിസി ഇല്ലാതാക്കിയ അധികാരിയുടെ മുന്നില്‍ മൌനം ഭജിച്ച് ഓഛാനിച്ചു നിന്നവര്‍… അഴിമതിക്കാരന്‍ കേരളത്തിന്റെ രക്ഷകന്‍ എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു കോടതികളായ കോടതികളില്‍ അഴിമതിക്കാരനെ രക്ഷിക്കാന്‍ ഉത്സാഹത്തോടെ നടന്നവര്‍… തന്‍പ്രാമാണിത്തം കാണിക്കാന്‍ ഓഫീസര്‍മാരെ ലക്കും ലഗാനുമില്ലാതെ സ്ഥലംമാറ്റി കളിച്ചപ്പോള്‍ പ്രതികരിക്കാതിരുന്നവര്‍… BSNLനേ കവര്‍ന്നെടുക്കാന്‍‍ ശ്രമിച്ചപ്പോള്‍ പഞ്ചപുച്ഛമടക്കി കൂടെ നിന്നവര്‍, ജീവനക്കാരുടെ ഡാറ്റാ സര്‍വീസ്, സൌജന്യ സര്‍വീസ് ടെലിഫോണ്‍ കണക്ഷന്‍ പോലുള്ള സൌകര്യങ്ങള്‍ ഇല്ലാതാക്കിയപ്പോള്‍ 'ഞമ്മള്‍ ഡീമോറലൈസ് ആയി' എന്നു പറയാന്‍ ചങ്കൂറ്റമില്ലാത്തവര്‍... ശമ്പളവും പെന്‍ഷനും ഇല്ലാതെ ആനയും അമ്പാരിയും പരിവാരങ്ങളും ഇല്ലാതെ തലയും കുമ്പിട്ടു ചെയ്തു കൂട്ടിയ അഴിമതികളുടെ പേരില്‍ ഒരു കൂന ചാര്‍ജ് ഷീറ്റുകളുമായി റാവു BSNLന്റെ പടിയിറങ്ങിയപ്പോഴെങ്കിലും ടിയാന്റെ ശിങ്കിടികള്‍ക്ക് ബോധോദയവും ധൈര്യവും തിരിച്ചറിവും വന്നതില്‍ SNEA അതിയായി സന്തോഷിക്കുന്നു. ഇപ്പോഴെങ്കിലും ഓഫീസര്‍മാരെ അവരവരുടെ സ്ഥലങ്ങളിലേക്കു തിരികെ മാറ്റണമെന്ന് അവര്‍ പറഞ്ഞു തുടങ്ങിയല്ലോ? ഇനി ഇതിനും എഴുതാമല്ലോ ‘With our tireless and consistent efforts…’ .

മാനേജര്‍മാര്‍ക്ക് വേണ്ടിയല്ല തൊഴിലാളികള്‍ക്കുവേണ്ടിയാണ് സംഘനകള്‍ എന്നവര്‍ തിരിച്ചറിഞ്ഞതില്‍... റാവുഖാണ്ഡം അവസാനിച്ചപ്പോഴെങ്കിലും ഇതൊക്കെ പറയാന്‍ ധൈര്യം കാണിച്ചതില്‍... അതിയായ സന്തോഷം തോന്നുന്നു.

അവര്‍ പറഞ്ഞതുപോലെ റിട്ടയര്‍മെന്‍റിന്റെ വക്കിലെത്തിയ ഏതാനും ജീവനക്കാര്‍ക്ക് ട്രാന്‍സ്ഫര്‍‍ കൊടുത്തപ്പോഴല്ല ഇവിടുത്തെ ജീവനക്കാര്‍ ഡീമോറലൈസ് ആയത്... റാവുവിന്റെ ദുര്‍ഭരണം മൂലം എത്രയോ കാലം മുന്നേ തന്നെ അവര്‍ ഡീമോറലൈസ് ആയിരുന്നു.. ട്രാന്‍സ്ഫര്‍‍ പോളിസി റദ്ദ് ചെയ്തപ്പോള്‍, ഓഫീസര്‍മാരെ തലങ്ങും വിലങ്ങും ട്രാന്‍സ്ഫര്‍‍ ചെയ്തപ്പോള്‍, ഒരു ബാനര്‍ വെക്കാനോ ഒരു ധര്‍ണ നടത്താനോ പോലും സമ്മതിക്കാതെ തൊഴിലാളികളുടെ പ്രതിഷേധം അനുവദിക്കപ്പെട്ടിട്ടുള്ള സമരമാര്‍ഗ്ഗങ്ങളില്‍ കൂടി പ്രകടിപ്പിക്കാനുള്ള‍‍ അവസരങ്ങള്‍ നിഷേധിച്ചു കൊണ്ട് സംഘടനാ സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യം നിഷേധിച്ചപ്പോള്‍, 2013ലെ ട്രാന്‍സ്ഫര്‍ ചെയ്തവരെ തിരികെ കൊണ്ടുവരാതെ യാതൊരു മാനദണ്ഡവും നോക്കാതെ തന്റെ ഇഷ്ടക്കാരെ മാത്രം തിരികെ കൊണ്ടുവന്നപ്പോഴൊക്കെയാണ് അവര്‍‍ ഡീമോറലൈസ് ആയത്... ഇന്ന് തലപൊക്കിയ ഇപ്പോള്‍ മാത്രം ഡീമോറലൈസ് ആയ ഈ 'ഞമ്മള്'‍ റാവുവിനെ പേടിച്ച് അന്ന് ആ പാദാരവിന്ദങ്ങളില്‍ സാഷ്ടാംഗം വീണു കിടക്കുകയായിരുന്നു... അതുകൊണ്ട് ഈ സാമ്പത്തിക വര്‍ഷത്തിന്റെ അവസാനം ട്രാന്‍സ്ഫര്‍ കൊണ്ടുക്കണം എന്നു പറയാണെങ്കിലും 'ഞമ്മള്'‍ കാണിച്ച ധൈര്യം അപാരം തന്നെ.

SNEA ആവശ്യപ്പെടുന്നത് അങ്ങനെയല്ല... ഇന്നെങ്കില്‍‍ ഇന്ന് അതായത് എത്രയും വേഗം ഞങ്ങളുടെ സഖാക്കളെ... സഹപ്രവര്‍ത്തകരെ... അവരവരുടെ സ്ഥലങ്ങളിലേക്ക് മാറ്റം കൊടുക്കണം... അതിനിനിയും കാലവിളംബം പാടില്ലാ... റാവു അഴിമതിയുടെ ആള്‍രൂപമാണെന്ന് SNEA പല പ്രാവശ്യം പറഞ്ഞു.. അന്നവര്‍ നമ്മളെ തള്ളി പറഞ്ഞു.. പക്ഷേ നമ്മള്‍ പറഞ്ഞത് സത്യമാണെന്ന് കാലം തെളിയിച്ചു… ഇത്രയും നാളും SNEA പറഞ്ഞത് ശരിയാണെന്ന് ഇപ്പോഴെങ്കിലും അവര്‍ക്ക് മനസ്സില്ലായല്ലോ...

വൈകിയാണെങ്കിലും അവര്‍ക്ക് വിവേകം ഉദിച്ചു എന്നു വിശ്വസിക്കാം.. അധികാരികളുടെ കാലടികളില്‍ തൊഴിലാളികളുടെ അന്തസ് അവര്‍ ഇനിയും പണയം വെക്കില്ല എന്നു നമ്മള്‍ക്ക് പ്രത്യാശിക്കാം..

Comrades, Gear up for the DHARNA on 12thJan2016 throughout Kerala Circle

Dear Comrades, Gear up and Mobilise for Dharna with BSNLEU on 12/01/2016 in all SSA's for withdrawal of vindictive actions and restoration of transfer/HR Policies in Kerala Circle.
View Letter for TU action

Comrades, the reply recieved from Kerala Circle Administration is unsatisfactory and completely disappointing (View Letter) and is listed below:

Demand 1: Withdraw all the vindictive actions against BSNLEU and SNEA leaders and workers.
Reply from Circle Administration: As per Corporate Office instructions, action is being taken.
Actual Truth: Director(CFA) in his minutes of the meeting clearly assured that all vindictive actions will be withdrawn. But in Kerala Circle, all procedures are going on and even diesnon cases are not settled and inquiry hearing is scheduled for 12-1-2016.

Demand 2: Cancel the illegal transfer orders of six officials enabling them to join their original offices.
Reply from Circle Administration: Clarification is sought from Corporate Office on this issue and as soon as orders from Corporate office is recieved, it will be implemented.
Actual Truth: The letter from Corporate office dated 02-12-2015 was not replied by the circle inspite of repeated reminders by the Association. Finally the Association handed over a copy of the letter on 30-12-15. Only after that the reply was forwarded. No effective persuasion is taking place to resolve the issues.

Demand 3: Implement the recommendations of the committee for contract labourers and enhance the wages from 1-8-2015 as agreed upon by Dir (CFA) vide letter No.ND/NCNGN/Cores/MOM/2015 dt 8th Sep2015.
Reply from Circle Administration: The recommendations of the committee as mentioned in your letter is not yet recieved in this office and after reciept of the same, action will be taken on the same.
Actual Truth: The minutes of the meeting held on 30-10-2015 was handed over to CGM in person by Com. Namboodhiri and requested further action. On 21-12-2015 DGM HR has acknowledged in the presence of GM HR that the minutes were received. No action has taken so far and today even the receipt of such minutes are denied by the administration.

Demand 4: Resort to healthy HR policies including transfer policy which was in smooth operation in the Circle till 2013.
Reply from Circle Administration: Long stay transfer will be implemented after have a meeting with the Associations.
Actual Truth: The long stay list of executives are called from all SSA's including Malappuram and Kannur and High ranges and Wayanad from where more than 100 officers are waiting for transfer after serving in these difficult stations. Once again it is clear that the Circle Administration has totally failed to the realities prevailing in the Kerala Circle.

Meeting with CMD BSNL

Circle secretary,SNEA and Assistant Circle Secretary, BSNLEU along with SSA office bearers met CMD BSNL at Cochin Airport on 10-1-2016. The office bearers thanked CMD for his extraordinary actions in the interest of BSNL and in particular for Kerala Circle. The Association requested the attention of CMD to the following problems in Service sector:

Consumer Mobility Sector

  • Mobile - Zero back up sites - Association requested for approval for procurement of 2200 Battery sets as projected by the circle. The Association pointed out that during last year 1400 battery sets which was approved could not be procured due the failure of vendor and requested to consider this fact for giving further approval.

  • Nortel BTS - The Association pointed out issues related with power and maintenance of Nortel BTS’s and requested for replacement of Nortal equipment.

  • PP and DG - the Association pointed out the infra issue of 2002-2006 and requested sanction for replacement of unserviceable PP and EA.

  • The Association requested CMD to sanction more BTS for Kerala considering the market potential, geographical features and revenue from the Circle.

  • The Association requested CMD to instruct the circle to restore the pre ERP operational model as suggested by the expert committee so that the BSS operations are made under single unit rather than fragmenting the same in to SSAs.

  • The Association pointed out the Tower sharing issues related to payment of rent and consumable items and CMD informed that suitable instructions will be issued to the Circle in this case.
CMD assured positive actions in the line and informed that CGMT will be instructed to discuss the issues with the Association.

CFA sector

  • OF cable - The Association pointed out acute shortage of OF cable and informed that only 100 Km of OF cable is allotted against the requirement of 2200 Km.
    CMD informed that OF cable procurement was not there for last 5 years and now tender has been finalised and the supply will be stared from this month.

  • 5pr cable and drop wire - The Association pointed out that in Kerala circle unlike others ,rural connections are double that of urban which require higher quantity of material for provision and maintenance. The present allotment of 5 pr cable and drop wire is too insufficient for the Circle and requested for more supply.
    CMD informed that Kerala will be given preferential treatment in allotment of funds and stores. CMD Appealed to work more as decided under SWAS programme announced by the forum particularly looking forward to 2017 pay revision.

The Association pointed out that though new CGM has taken charge in the circle, many vindictive actions and HR issues are still pending which require better attention to improve the HR and service activities.
CMD replied that he is aware of the issues and suitable instructions will be issued to the Circle. We thank CMD for his prompt attention to our request and his gesture in granting us the meeting inspite of busy schedule .

Completion of APAR for the period 2014-15 of DGMs!!!
DPC for DGM adhoc/regular in Engineering, Accounts, Electrical and Civil wings are in progress at the Corporate Office. However APAR for the period 2014-15 of DGM and equivalent officers in Kerala Circle have not yet been conveyed/shown to them as per the mandatory requirement. It is learnt from reliable sources that the APARs of these Executives have not been reviewed by the former CGM Sri. M.S.S.Rao. Therefore, there is every chance of these officers in the grade of DGM in Kerala circle, losing their long awaited promotion.

We are sure that the CGMT, Kerala cannot let such mishaps. Therefore, the Association requested CGMT to complete the review of APAR and submit them to the Corporate Office in time for consideration in the ongoing DPC.

It is further requested that the APAR for the year 2015-16 of the above officers for the entire period may also please be reviewed by the CGMT, Kerala.

We thank PGM finance Sri KK Vel and Circle administration for considering all request transfer cases in JAO cadre along with the posting of New JAOs.. This kind of Attitude in HR was completely missing in the circle during the past two years which derailed the peaceful environment of the Circle.

CEC of SNEA and Combined CEC with BSNLEU held at Ernakulam on 30th December 2015

CEC Report
Long Pending Transfer Cases.

Circle Executive Committee of SNEA discussed the pending Transfer cases in details who were transferred in 2013 and earlier. One of the major demand of the Association was the restoration of transfer policy which was ensuring the transfer back after 2 years.

During 2014 Sri MSS Rao refused to adhere to the above policy in spite of posting of more than 130 Executives in JTO Cadre in the circle . Eventhough he was compelled to consider most of cases due to our struggle some cases are still left out which was due in 2014. In 2015 he has completely negated the transfer policy in the circle resulting denial of transfer back of nearly 100 officers to their request SSAs.

In spite giving workable solutions without much difficulty to any section the present circle administration is also reluctant to consider the case in the last phase of the financial year. We have pointed out many cases completing 58 years and many can be done on mutual basis. It was assured by the Administration that all cases will be considered in the first week of March 2016 to which we have expressed our resentment. The administration agreed to consider the cases completed 58 years and which can be done on mutual basis. We have pointed out that the Corporate office is issuing orders for those officers who were posted to the Kerala circle on promotion at their request immediately after 2years to their home circle and there can not be any justification for delaying the request of these officers who were transferred in the interest of service.
The CEC meeting decided to pursue the cases further for early settlement the restoration of Transfer policy that was prevailing in the circle .

23rd Circle Conference at Kottayam on February 18 & 19, 2016

CEC of SNEA discussed in detail about conducting of Circle conference at Kottayam on February 18 & 19, 2016. Since our Fund have been diverted to conduct different Court Cases and Agitational Programs, it is decided to raise Rs.500/- from each member to meet the expenditure of Circle conference.
CEC also decided to give a Diary to All Members as a memento of Circle Conference instead of giving special mementos only to delegates for the circle conference.

Agitational Programs to Settle Transfer Cases and Vindictive Actions.

CEC decided to go for Agiation if required to settle the Transfer cases and to withdraw all Vindictive Actions taken including increment barring, Charge sheets, withholding Promotions, Dies Nons, Vindictive Transfers, etc. for questioning the Transfer/Rationalization Policy, Autocracy and Corruption of Sri. MSS Rao.

CEC also decided to conduct Joint Programs with BSNLEU for early settlement of All Vindictive Actions.

Combined Working Committee with BSNLEU

Combined Working Committee with BSNLEU decided to launch Trade Union Programs to bring Back Normalcy in Kerala. Combined Working Committee conducted at K.G Bose Bhavan, Ernakulam on 30-12-2015. Com. George Varghese, CS, SNEA presided the meeting. Com. Mohan.K, CS, BSNLEU addressed the meeting. Com. Sudheer. K, CP, SNEA, Com. Kuryakose CP. BSNLEU addressed the meeting.

SWAS (Service With A SMILE)

Combined CEC decided to go along with the Organizational Call from CHQ Forum to give Better Service to the Customers with the Program SWAS (Service With A SMILE). Since the present circle administration is not sensitive to address the core issues of the employees, CEC decided not to share platform with management for the SWAS program. The meeting called upon all executives and staff to work hard for the improvement of service and revenue as per the program called by Forum CHQ- Service with a Smile. The meeting also decided to conduct meeting at SSA/ Subdivision/ Exchange wise to impress up on the staff for the effective implementation of the program. It was also decided to make wide publicity among customers the role being played by BSNL in regulating the tariff and ensuring the service at the time of national calamities and in remote and in and inaccessible arecas.

Agitational Programs.
Combined CEC decided to go for Agitational programs from 12th January 2016 onwards demanding withdrawal vindictive Actions as assured by BSNLCO. CEC observed that no committee has been constituted by circle management for recategorisation of the workers to settle Wage Hike of Casual Contract Labours as assured by the Dir CFA on 20-8-2015. Combined CEC urged Circle management to settle All vindictive actions taken against the members of SNEA and BSNLEU since 2014 June and to settle the demands of contract labours for creating a healthy working environment.

Comrades, Lets work more united in 2016 for a better and Healthy Working Environment in Kerala circle. Lets make all out efforts to make the Programs Service With A Smile a Grand Success.
