BSNLCCWF, payment of contract workers.

Govt of India, Ministry of Finance has issued orders that contractual, casual and outsourced staff required to stay at home in view of Lock Down will be treated as ‘duty’ and payment made. BSNL should immediately pay the contract workers their wages at present as of the past one year. Order is given below:

March 24, 2020 admin

Contractual, casual and outsourced staff is required to stay at home in view of lockdown order regarding COVID-19 prevention and they shall be treated as “on duty” during such period of absence and necessary pay/wages would be paid accordingly

F.No.23(4)/E.Coord/2020/1
Government of India
Ministry of Finance
Department of Expenditure

North Block, New Delhi
Dated: 23.03.2020

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Sub: Payment of wages to outsourced persons of Ministries / Departments and other organizations of Government of India during lockdown period due to COVID-19

As part of social distancing and isolation measures to contain the spread of COVID-19 in the country, various State/UT Governments have announced lockdown at different places. Instructions have been separately issued by DOP&T regarding maintenance of essential services in Ministries / Departments.

Due to these measures, there is a likelihood of a number of contractual, casual and outsourced staff such as house-keeping staff etc. being required to stay at home, which under normal circumstances would result in deduction in their pay/wages. In order to avoid any undue hardships under the prevailing extraordinary circumstances, it has been decided that wherever any such contractual, casual and outsourced staff of Ministries / Departments and other organizations of Government of India, is required to stay at home in view of lockdown order regarding COVID-19 prevention, as announced by various States /UT Governments, they shall be treated as “on duty” during such period of absence and necessary pay/wages would be paid accordingly.

These instructions shall also apply to Attached/Subordinate Offices, Autonomous / Statutory Bodies of Government of India.

These instructions shall apply till 30th April, 2020.

Important Supreme Court Judgment on Regularisation of Casual labour

BSNLCCWF, Regularisation, sc judgment

The Supreme Court of India in Civil Appeal nos. 7423- 7429 of 2018 in Narendra Kumar Tiwari vs. The State of Jharkhand has delivered a very important judgment on 1st August 2018 with regard to the regularisation of the casual labours.  This was an appeal by a casual labour of the State Government of Jharkhand against the decision of the judgment of the High Court of Jharkhand denying regularisation on the basis of the Karnataka and others vs Umadevi judgment.

The Supreme Court in its order has stated as follows: “Under the circumstances,we are of the view that the Regularisation Rules must be given a pragmatic interpretation and the appellants, if they have completed 10 years of service on the date of promulgation of the Regularisation Rules, ought to be given the benefit of service rendered by them. If they have completed 10 years of service, they should be regularised unless there is some valid objections to regularisation like misconduct etc.” The full text of the judgment is being published in the bsnlccwf website, bsnlccwf.in

This gives a fair interpretation of the earlier SC judgment denying regularisation. BSNLCCWF has already taken note of the judgment and will decide future course of action in this matter.

Leaders of BSNLCCWF have lodged a complaint before the labour commission that though the BSNL Management has endorsed the Gazette Notification revised wages for the contract labourers but at the same time, the management has issued the order for 50% curtailment of the contract labourers to minimize the expenditure. It is also mentioned that social security measures like EPF, ESI, Gratuity has not been implemented. Further, they have also taken a negative stand to implement the 7th CPC for the casual labourers wages. He has ordered the management to give a specific reply on writing on the issues of the 7th CPC recommendation for the casual labourers. The Labour commissioner also slapped the BSNL Management on the issue of regularization and the gratuity for the casual and contract workers. Labour commissioner has remarked in the discussion that Uma Devi Judgement should not misuse to harass the casual and contract workers. In reply, on behalf of the BSNL Management, has submitted the written statement before the ALC(C) regarding the agenda of BSNL Casual and Contract workers where in it is stated that the revision of the wages of the Casual Labour will be determined at the time of 3rd PRC on which leaders of the BSNLCCWF has strong protest for this delay practice of the management.

Bonus, BSNLCCWF

The contract workers engaged in BSNL have not been paid the Bonus for  this year. The plea that there are no funds is not tenable. Bonus is a right of the workers as per Bonus Act and BSNL is liable to pay it.

BSNL Casual and Contract Workers federation has taken up the case with the management. The BSNL Management should look in to the matter urgently and ensure that the same is paid early.

BSNLCCWF, Meerut CEC

An important CEC Meeting of the BSNL Casual and Contract Workers Federation will be held at Meerut on 22-23 July 2017. There is a big agenda before the meeting. Implementation of Minimum Wage and social security measures life EPF, ESI etc. are some of the most important items. Despite several acts of the Parliament, Government orders and BSNL orders, these are not fully implemented so far. The Contractors and some of the corrupt officers are exploiting the contract workers, denying them due wage etc.

Another issue is about the regularisation of the casual contract workers. On the plea of a Supreme Court order, regularisation is being denied since 2006. A serious struggle will be required in the matter.

Reception Committee members under the leadership of Coms. Upender Singh, Circle Secretary BSNLEU, Ansar Ali, Circle President BSNLCCWF, Naresh Pal, Circle secretary BSNLCCWF and other senior leaders, all preparations for the conduct of the CEC is being arranged.
