It was after sustained and serious struggles that we were able to get the decision and orders on the Pension Revision of the pre-2007 retirees. In fact this was one of the main dmands of the two strikes orgnnised by the Joint Action Committee of BSNL Unions /Associations in April and December 2010. But even after issuing the orders, its implementation is getting delayed. Neither the concerned SSAs are completing the process and sending it to CCA, or wherever it has been sent to CCA the orders and payment of arrears have not been paid.
It is in this context, I along with other leaders of BSNLEU as also JAC met Shri R.K.Upadhyay, CMD BSNL and also Shri S.C.Misra, Member (Services), DOT and demanded early fixation and payment of arrears to the concerned pensioners. Both agreed to the urgency of the problem and assured that all efforts will be made to settle these cases. Much pressure is required at the field level also.
