While more than 1,60,000 employees have retired in BSNL since its inception in 2000, only around 40,000 have been recruited keeping a vacuum of about 1,20,000 vacancies. Of course, there may be justification of reduction of staff due to highly sophisticated equipments. Despite that there is acute shortage, resulting delay in providing a good service. Especially in the cadres of Telecom Technician, Assistant Technician etc. who are mainly attending to the day to day service and maintenance, there has been no recruitment at all, causing much difficulty.

To make the SWAS programme (Service With A Smile), adequate staff is required and new recruitment is the route. The unions / associations in BSNL can not sit idle in the matter.

State PSUs will protected and strengthened – Kerala Chief Minister

During his speech at Kozhikode Tagore Centenary Hall on 12th June 2016 when he was given a grand reception, Com.Pinarayi Vijayan, Chief Minister, Kerala stated that the state PSUs will be protected and strengthened. This is a very welcome assurance.

During the UDF rule, almost all the state public sector units have been weakened and made loss making. It is to be remembered that all these PSUs were strong and profit making during the period of the LDF government. Once again these PSUs are going to be revived.

Both the UPA Government as well as the NDA government at the centre have been systematically selling, closing and disinvesting the central PSUs during the past twenty years or so. They have become the promoters of the private sector and the corporates. The present position of the ITI, HMT and other such famed PSUs are well known to all.

The difference of attitude between the NDA/UPA at Centre and the LDF in Kerala towards the PSUs is well understood by the workers. While appreciating the correct stand of the Kerala LDF government, the working class have to fight and defeat the anti-PSU policies of the NDA government at the centre.

III Pay Revision Committee for the executives in the Central Public Sectors has been constituted with Justice Satish Chandra (Retd.). The Committee will submit its report within six months and the implementation will be with effect from 01-01-2007.

What about the wage revision of the non-executives? The recognised union in BSNL, BSNL Employees Union, has already demanded for starting wage revision. But the management has not so far agreed. There should not be any delay for the wage negotiation.It will be disastrous.

Com. Pinarayi Vijayan, the new Chief Minister of Kerala, in his meeting with the employees of the state Secretariat has sought their support for serving the public in an efficient way with a human face. He reminded the staff that the employees are for the functioning of the government and not vice-versa. Prompt attendance, clearing the files early, avoiding corrupt practices – his speech included all these.

It is a good beginning. The government and its employees are for serving the public interest and this has been clearly focussed by the Chief Minister.

A joint, determined effort to have an efficient service to the people is the top most priority.
