Is it necessary to continue the colonial tag to divide the workers?

Executives, Gazetted, Non-Executives, Non-Gazetted

During the British colonial rule, the government always tried to divide the government employees by putting them in to separate ‘classes’. They segregated the employees in to Class I, Class II, Class III and Class IV. Another classification was Gazetted and Non-Gazetted. In the PSUs, the government of India started dividing workers by naming Executives and Non-Executives. Is it necessary to classify the workers by such names as Non-Gazetted, Non-executives etc. which are completely negative terms.

On each and every issue, the government ensured to exhibit the difference between these ‘classes’, whether it is the chair (only stool for the class IV), Uniform, facilities in the office etc. In some canteens, even seats are separated for the class IV employees, just like the condemnable practice of giving tea in separate glasses for the dalits in tea shops in some areas.

We claim to be a progressive society, but still the unnecessary disparity between the workers continue. This issue require discussion and decision so that these are removed and all workers are treated with dignity.

68% of BSNL Employees are above 50 years – Recruitment a must

BSNL, Executives, Non-Executives

Out of the 2,11,000 and odd employees in BSNL, 68% are above the age of 50 years. Those who are below 30 years are only 3%. This shows the urgency of recruitment of fresh blood.

The Non-Executives are about 80%, Executive 18% and Management 2%. It can be seen that the % of non-executives have come down drastically, since not much recruitment has taken place after formation of BSNL, while more than one lakh sixty thousand have retired, mostly non-executives.

There are about one lakh  contract workers engaged by BSNL through contractors. The casual labour comes to about 3,500 who were recruited during the DOT period.

Why not united unions for Executives and Non-Executives in BSNL?

10 Sunday Apr 2016

Executives, Non-Executives, united organisation.

The formation of Joint Action Council in BSNL by the unions/association in BSNL was a great step, which resulted in the historic strikes of 2006 (deferred after agreement) and 2007  to defend and save BSNL. Further struggles and joint actions were organised. From 2006 onwards, 6 major strikes have taken place under the leadership of JAC/Joint Forum/Forum on the issues of the workers as well for the revival of BSNL, while 5 strikes were called off after agreement.This is a great record.

Now if the unions of non-executives and associations of executives can jointly function and go on joint strikes, is it not possible to have a united union or association including both the executives and non-executives? When the number of total workforce in BSNL has been reduced from 3.5 lakhs to 2.10 lakhs and there is not much recruitment further consolidation becomes necessary.

The question of a united organisation requires to be debated for coming to a correct conclusion.

Executives and Non-Executives

Executives, Non-Executives

The Central government employees were earlier grouped in to four classes viz. Class I, Class II, Class III and Class IV. Sometimes the classification was as Group A, Group B, Group C and Group D. ICS/ IAS, IFS, IRS, ITS etc. all India services were in a higher rank starting from Class I/Group A.

After the VI Central Pay Commission, the Group D/ Class IV in Central Services is being eliminated by upgrading eligible officials to Group C/Class III and no further recruitment in class IV/Group D.

In Public Sectors like BSNL, MTNL etc. the classification is Group A, Group B (Executives) and Non-Executives (which comprises of the earlier Group C & D).

Thus the Group D & C are merged in to one, the non-executives, which is a correct decision. Now, the question arises: Whether there is any need for a division between the executives and non-executives.

The name non-executive itself is a negative one – it means one who is not an  executive. But the fact is that they are employees/workers, who also execute work. In fact they are not non-executives, but executives only. There is full justification that the division of names in to executives and non-executives should go. This discrimination is part of the British oriented superiority cult which has been continued by the Government of India. It is just like the khaki uniform supplied to the Class IV earlier to show that they are inferior. Now in the PSUs, all the officials from the top to the bottom are wearing the same uniform. It is so in many corporate concerns.

In such a situation, is it necessary to continue the name of non-executives? It is time for the government, PSUs, Private sector etc.to drop the name non-executive and have a common name for all the workers/employees.

wage Negotiation in BSNL – DPE should be moved for immediate action.

27 Sunday Mar 2016

BSNL, DPE, Executives, Non-Executives, Wage revision

BSNL Employees are eligible for wage revision from 01-01-2017. The revision for executives is done through the recommendations of the Pay Revision Committee, which is to be appointed by the Department of Public enterprises and which is applicable for the executives in all PSUs. For the non-executives in BSNL, it is through the wage negotiation between the BSNL Management and the reeognised union/s.Since the negotiation takes place only after the DPE guidelines in the matter, the management should immediately take up the matter with the DPE.

In such a case, both the unions/associations in BSNL have to take up the matter with DPE for appointment of the Pay Revision Committee for the executives and the issue of guidelines for the non-executives to start the wage negotiation.
