It is reported that BSNL will have an ‘operational profit’ of Rs.600 crore in 2014-15. Well and good. The joint effort of workers and Management is getting results. If BSNL is able to keep the trend and/ improve, it can be profitable within two- three years.

According to Chairman of VII Central Pay Commission, Justice
Mathur, the report will be submitted to Govt. On 19 November 2015.
The Staff Side of JCM of Central Govt. Employees has called earlier for massive dharna on 19th protesting delay in submissoon of report etc.

I am in train to Jaipur to attend Circle Conference of AIBDPA tomorrow.  Circle conference being held before All India Conference at Tirupati being held in February 2016.

As per reports in the press, there are 30 lakh central government employees and 50 lakh central pensioners. Due to non- recruitment, number of employees has gone down. Every month, pensioners are going to increase due to large scale retirements.
Pensioners are a force. Settle their genuine grievances. Otherwise there will be retaliation from these senior citizens.

The intolerance against union and its genuine activities by certain top officers in BSNL has gone beyond all limits. What else is to be understood from the compulsory retirement of District Secretary BSNLEU Jharkhand and suspension, transfer and FIR against Circle Secretary and office bearers of BSNLEU and SNEA in Kerala ? BSNL C.O. has to immediately intervene and settle issues, failing which, serious agitation will take place.

The executive associations in PSUs have decided to organise programme in front of DPE office demanding appointment of next Pay Revision Committee for recomending wages w.e.f. 01.01.2016.
It is time for the non- executives also to raise the issue for wage revision.

The suggestion of Supreme Court to shift the crematarium nearby to avoid pollution and damage of Taj Mahal by smoke and heat should be honoured by the U.P.Government. Taj Mahal is one of the World Wonders and has to be saved for future generations.

The decision of the AAP government in Delhi to stop interview of nursery children  and parents for admission to private schools is a welcome step.

A report in Times of India states that the VII Central Pay Commission may submit its report by end of November 2015 and that it may recommend 15 % increase in pay.
This is unacceptable to the employees. 15% increase in 10 years since 2006 means only 1.5% in a year, which is far below the growth in GDP as also far less than the increase given to PSUs. More than 15% increase has been granted to PSUs with 5 year wage revision, which comes to about 30% in
10 years.
The CG employees are already in the war path with a massive dharna on 19 November 2015.
