The first meeting of the reconstituted ‘Change of Designation Committee’ entrusted for making suggestions on the subject will be held on 24th April 2014. BSNLEU demanded for the change of designations of the non-executive years back and a committee was appointed for the same. After much delay a report was jointly submitted on the change of designation for RM and TM, signed by the committee (including official side), but it was not approved by the Management. hence the new committee.
We are at a loss to understand why the management has not approved the committee report earlier. If there is no assurance that the management will accept the recommendations of the committee, then why a new Committee. Of course, the union has demanded it.
Let us hope that the Official side and Management will see reason and agree for the changes.

It is understood that that the reconstituted Designation committee meeting will be convened on the 24th of this month. Since the change of designation of Sr.TOA and TTA cadres has not been finalised despite 5 years, it is requested that the same may kindly be finalised in the next meeting itself. I am giving some options for the change.
It is understood that that the management side is not in favour of Associate Officer and Junior Engineer designations. As such the following options may be examined and finalised, since it is badly delayed.
Regular Mazdoor desgn has been changed to Telecom Assistant. As such Assistant word cannot be incorporated to Sr.TOA and TTA new designations.

Dear Comrade,
Thank you for your suggestions. But in fact, these suggestions had already been made in the earlier committee and it was not accepted by the official side stating that Manager, Officer, Engineer, Supdt. etc. can not be accepted for the non-executive. We will try again for a respective designation for all.
For TTA cadre what designation is expected to be finalized as per your view??
We do not know what is the present position of management.We have demanded for Junior Engineer. By the way, please give your name, address etc. when asking questions.
There should be modification with the present basic i.e. after pay fixation by taking 78.2% to other allowances like HRA, SDA,TA,HCA etc instead of DESIGNATION.
Pay revision is important; change of designation also.
