Organisation of BSNL Unions and Associations decides to extend solidarity and support to the agitational programmes protesting against delay in 3rd pay revision for BSNL employees & other issues:
Leaders of Organisation of BSNL Unions and Associations (OBUA) met today and discussed the developments taking place on 3rd pay revision, pension contribution on actual pay, simultaneous pension revision, allotment of 4G spectrum for BSNL and other issues. OBUA has been pursuing all these issues with concerned officers in DoT and DPE and has been seeking intervention by MOSC and PM. The meeting expressed concern over the undue delay by DoT in submitting the Cabinet Note for relaxing the affordability clause as advised by DPE and the lackadaisical approach by DoT on the other issues. The meeting decided to extend solidarity and support to the agitational programme announced by the other forum of BSNL Unions and Associations. A letter to DOT & BSNL conveying our solidarity and support is being issued. We call upon our members to join the protests, starting with Dharna on 30.10.2018. Circle Secretaries are requested to co-ordinate with other constituents of OBUA while joining the protests.

Meeting with Director (PSU), DoT:
Today GS along with Shri S.P. Sharma GS BSNL WRU met Shri Pawan Gupta Director (PSU) DoT and enquired about the status of cabinet note for relaxation of affordability clause for implementation of 3rd PRC recommendation in BSNL. Director (PSU) DoT informed us that DoT Finance had earlier raised some points and DoT had written to BSNL for clarifying the points raised by DoT Finance. The clarification submitted by BSNL is being examined by DoT Finance. After clearance by DoT Finance, the cabinet note will be sent to all the concerned Ministries for their comments. Director (PSU), DoT assured us that all efforts are being taken for implementing 3rd pay revision in the coming months, but the main concern is the 22% fall in revenue in 2017-18 when compared to the revenue of 2016-17. In the present financial year also BSNL revenue has been coming down and this may be a stumbling block in getting cabinet approval.
