There seems to be a great slackness on the part of the BSNL management on all activities. It is taking too long a time to take decisions and also implement them. The government machinery, DOT,  was slow, but the PSU, BSNL, is fslower. This has adversely affected not only  the developmental and expansion activities but also the settlement of the issues of the workers.

Have a look at this. The National Council is the forum for the staff side and the management side to discuss and settle important issues of the workers. Despite continued demand by the staff side, the management failed to convene any meeting since the last meeting in August last year. At last it has fixed the meeting for 27th February 2012. But whether the management is prepared to settle the issues focussed in the meeting? We have to wait and see.

The Designation Committee meeting is fixed to be held on 23rd February after a gap of more than one year. There was no difficulty for the management to change the designations of the executives and top management personnel more than once. But when it comes to Non-Executives, there is a negative attitude on the part of the management.

Removing anomalies for the ITS and Executives, management has got a a soft corner. But in the case of non-executives there is no soft corner.

There are many more discriminations, when the issues are concerning non-executives. The management should change its negative stand and must have sincere dialogue and settle the issues amicably. If it does not act, the workers will have no other course but to resort to strong agitational programmes.
