Member (Finance), DOT has issued strict instructions to the BSNL as also CCAs to settle the pension cases urgently and without delay. The BSNL C.O. has also issued strict instructions accordingly.
We are happy that the efforts of BSNLEU and AIBDPA on this issue has been seriously taken by Member (Finance). During my meetings with Ms. Annie Moraes, Member (Finance) the long delay in some circles for settlement of the pension cases were pointed out and she has assured that these will be taken care of. She has immediately issued the orders for immediate action at BSNL/CCA Levels. Circle Secretaries of BSNLEU and AIBDPA should contact the CGMs and CCAs and ensure that the orders are implemented.

The DoT after keeping the file for long time has now replied to the Dept. of Expenditure giving the clarifications required. The Forum, AIBDPA, BSNLEU and all other organisations have been pursuing the issue vigorously. But still there are still some issues to be sorted out like the 60: 40 issue ie. the pension liability of the Government should not increase more than 60% of the payments being made by BSNL to Government. The AIBDPA, Forum and BSNLEU has already taken up this issue also.

The Supreme Court in its judgment in Dev Prakash Vs UP Co-operative Institutional Service Board has stated that disciplinary proceedings against an employee after retirement can not be continued. The judgement was given by the Division Bench of justice T.S.Thakur and Justice C.Nagappan.
The judgement stated that once an employee retires from service, there was no authority vested in the employer to continue the disciplinary proceedings even for the purpose of imposing any deduction in the benefits payable after retirement to the delinquent employees.
Allowing the appeal filed by the above appellant the Division Bench quashed the disciplinary proceedings and also directed the respondent to pay arrears of salary and allowances payable to the appellant and also to pay him his post-retirement benefits.

This is a good judgement. There are several cases in BSNL, where the retired employees are put to many hardships by continuing disciplinary proceedings even after retirement. These cases have to be taken up with the BSNL Management. (Courtesy : Hindu dt. 13th July)

I am reproducing below the news received 2011 Congress of ITUC Meeting at Vancouver

Dear Comrades:
Please read, below, Quim Boix, member of the Secretariat of the WFTU and leader of the WFTU Trade Union International for Pensioners and Retirees.

Comrade Quim and the comrade from South Africa delivered the historic critique of the 2011 Congress of the ITUC meeting in Vancouver. AT that meeting the subservience of the ITUC, and its affiliated unions. to the IMF and World Bank was made public. The AFL-CIO, the British TUC and other social democratic trade unions are the center of the ITUC.

Well, in the 2014 ITUC meeting, that subservience has continued, even though the barbaric policies of the EU, the IMF and World bank have created chaos around the world, i.e., Ukraine, Syria and attempting the same all through South America.

Comrade Quim deserves a major “thank you” for this contribution.

Com.V.A.N.Namboodiri, President, BSNLEU and BSNLCCWF met Shri R.K.Goyal, GM (Estt.) and discussed about the need to increase the wages of TSM and Casual Labour engaged in BSNL. It was demanded that the minimum of the pay of BSNL ie. Rs. 7,760 should be given instead of the present Rs. 6,600, which is based on the DOT scale. It was also pointed out by the union that even Rs. 6,600 was not the pay to be given as per the government pay, it should be Rs. 7,000 ( Rs. 5,200 pay and Rs. 1,800 Grade pay). The necessary orders and instructions were also furnished. But the management did not commit anything, instead justified the decision already taken.
The Union also demanded that the EPF contribution for the Casual labour should be from the date of employment. The GM (Estt.) assured that a decision will be taken within a few weeks and orders issued in this matter.
