Animesh Chandra Mitra, Secretary General and Tapas Ghosh, Working President, met CMD BSNL in his chamber and submitted the letter on this subject. Com. Animesh Mitra has told to CMD BSNL that how the casual labours will accept to continued in 6th CPC pay scale when the High Rank Officers in BSNL are drawing the 7th CPC pay scale. They have also reminded the fact to CMD that it was a practice for BSNL to endorse the CPC recommendation to make the calculation of casual labour wages. The casual labours are getting the wages based on CPC scale since DoT period. The representatives demanded that justice be done by paying the minimum of the VII CPC scales.

End this Injustice to Casual Labour

28 Tuesday Mar 2017

Casual labour, Regularisation

There are about 3,000 casual labour, mostly recruited through employment exchange in DOT and now working in BSNL, who have completed about 25 to 30 years of service and are still not regularised. They were fully eligible to be regularised as per  the agreement between the Federations and the government at the time of formation of BSNL in 2000. It was only due to the delay and negligence of the field level management in sending the details to the corporate office that these casual labours were denied regularisation.  The plea of the Corporate office that they can not now be regularised in view of the Supreme Court judgment in a 2006 case is without substance. Casual labour have been regularised as a special case in many central government departments even after 2006. BSNL can also do the same.

It is only justice and correct that all these casual labour should be regularised with out further delay so that they will get better wages and pensionary benefits for their long period of serving the nation.

Casual labour, wages

Casual workers recruited in DOT and working in BSNL are being paid the lowest of the DOT (Govt.) wages. BSNLCCWF had earlier demanded that they should be paid the lowest wages in BSNL. The demand was not accepted by the BSNL Management stating that since they are recruited by DOT, they will be aid the government wages only. Now that the government has implemented the VII CPC recommended pay scales and the lowest wage is Rs.18,000, the same should be paid to the casual workers. It is also demanded that the CDA also should be paid.

The BSNL Management has so far not implemented the same. Instead a committee is appointed to look in to the matter. Management has agreed to pay the CDA, but so far no order is issued.

BSNLCCWF is continuously making efforts get both the above implemented at the earliest.

Casual labour, Gratuity

The Remuneration Committee of BSNL has approved the Gratuity Scheme for the casual workers engaged in BSNL. BSNLCCWF has taken the issue with the Parliamentary Standing Committee, after which the BSNL Management started the process. The BSNL Management Committee after approving the scheme has sent it to the Remuneration Committee which has adopted the same. Now the next meeting of the BSNL Board is expected to approve the same after which orders could be issued.

According to the scheme the benefit will be available w.e.f. 01-10-2000. the date on which BSNL was formed. This is a great achievement for the casual labours.
