‘Non-Executives’ – The Negative term has to be changed.

change required, negative term, Non-Executive

Non-Executive is a negative term, meaning that the person/s is/are not executive. It is given for the employees at the so called ‘lowest level’.

If this is extended to ‘higher levels’, the terms will be like this: ‘Non-ITS’, ‘Non-IAS’ etc. It can be extended to the Ministers also like ‘Non-CM’ (for Ministers in the State Government), ‘Non-PM’ (for the Central Ministers) etc. Will anybody agree to these terms? Certainly ‘No’, a big ‘NO’.

It is time that the term ‘Non-Executives’ is replaced by a positive and honourable term.

78.2%, AIBDPA, pension, Secretary DOT

Com.V.A.N.Namboodiri, Advisor, AIBDPA, today, 31st March 2016, met Shri J.S.Deepak, Secretary DOT on the issue of 78.2% IDA Pension fixation for the pre- June 2013 BSNL pensioners. Com.Namboodiri pointed out the undue delay in submitting the case to the cabinet for approval. Secretary DOT assured that the the Cabinet Note is on his table and there will be no further delay in forwarding the same. Com.Namboodiri also demanded that the 60:40 condition for payment of pension should not be there which is creating difficulties in pension revision. He stressed the need for automatic pension revision, since pension revision is part of pension. He brought to the notice of the DOT the extra efforts made by the unions/associations in BSNL for improving the services which is showing results and the need for financial support from the government.

It is expected from the discussion that the file may be submitted to the Minister/Cabinet with out further delay. This is the second time that AIBDPA is meeting the Secretary DOT in this month, in addition to meeting the Minister Communications Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad on 09-03-2016, in which the entire issue was brought to his notice in detail for early decision.

Inoperative EPF Accounts will get interest from April 2016

30 Wednesday Mar 2016

Posted by VAN NAMBOODIRI in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

The EPFO has decided to restore interest on inoperative EPF accounts w.e.f April 2016. UPA government had taken an unjustified decision to stop giving intetest on EPF accounts from April 2011 for which no further contributions were made.
While the present decision is welcome, that is not sufficient. Interest from April 2011 retrospectively should be granted. Then only justice will be meted out to the account holders.
Out of about a total of 15 crore EPF accounts, 9.23 crore are stated to be inoperative according to Labour Secretary.

HMT, PSU employees, suicide

It is reported in the press today that a Joint General Manager of Public Sector company, HMT, Kanwal Singh Nagi, committed suicide by leaping down from a 45 feet high water tank. It is also reported that he took the extreme step due to financial difficulties, since salary was not received for months. HMT is in loss for some years and the staff are not being paid salary.

Thousands of kisans have been committing suicide in the last few years, unable to repay debts. Now an employee in a PSU has committed suicide.

We express our deep grief and convey our condolences to the bereave family, friends and colleagues. The government should immediately act and give sufficient funds to all loss making PSUs for payment of salaries to the staff.
