The Tasks after Membership Verification in BSNL

BSNL, Recognition, VII MV

The result of the Membership Verification in BSNL is declared. Total voters are 1,63,820. Polled votes 1,53,840.. BSNLEU have received 81,195 votes with 49.56% of total votes (52.77% of polled votes). NFTE received 31.97 of total votes(34.03% of polled votes). FNTO 8,697 with 5.31% of total and 5.65 of polled votes. BTEU, 4,846 total votes and 2.96% of total and 3.15% of polled votes. BSNLEU and NFTE will get recognition as the Main and Second Union. Other two will get limited trade union facilities.

In the National, Circle and SSA Councils, BSNLEU will get 9 seats and NFTE 5 seats as per proportionate to the votes polled. No other union will be eligible for seats, since their percentage is less than the eligible 7%.Thus there is no change in the allocation of seats from the last Council. The recognition orders and number of seats in the councils are yet to be released by the BSNL Corporate Office.

There are certain immediate tasks to be attended to in connection with the Verification:

1. The recognised union/s represent the entire workers, whether members or non-members of any union. As such they are eligible to nominate any worker to the National/Circle/SSA Council. The present arbitrary condition put by the Management that the nomination should be from the members of the particular recognised union is in violation of this common principle. Whether it is in Parliament or State Assembly, the ruling party has the authority to nominate any M.P. or MLA as Minister. It is with other elected bodies also.This basic principle can not be violated by BSNL Management. Till VII Membership Verification, such nominations from other unions were made and accepted. This practice should be restored. The plea of the Management that there is a court case pending is not acceptable, since the court has not directed the management not to accept such nominations. The only thing that the management has to do is to intimate the Court that it want to continue the earlier practice.

2. The National Council should be headed by CMD and all the Directors should be Members. This will facilitate quick decisions on the spot. This is the system in the National Council of CG Employees and was the system in the National JCM of DOT, where the Secretary DOT will be Chairman and all Members of Telecom Commission as Members.

2. The Standing Committee, which is to be held every two months to review the issues discussed in the National Council and pending, should be held regularly. This Committee should be headed by the Director (HR) to ensure decisions.

3. Those issues on which agreement could not be reached should be referred to arbitration or some such arrangements to be made.

4. At least one of the Directors of BSNL Board should be from the recognised union/s. This is part of the Workers’ Participation in Management. In a company which has got priority for customer satisfaction, this is very much necessary. In Nepal Telecommunications, one Director is nominated by the recognised union.

5. The Leader and Secretary of the Councils should be elected democratically. The present arbitrary decision of management that Leader and Secretary should be from BSNLEU and NFTE respectively or vice-versa is against the democratic principle. No such arbitrary decision is in the National Council JCM. No such restrictions were in BSNL National/Circle/SSA councils also till the VI Membership Verification. The Leader and Secretary are to be elected by the Staff Side only and not by Management.
6. Recognition Rules should be changed so that the % of votes are calculated on the polled votes, as in the case of Parliament, Assembly, Corporation Councils etc., instead of total votes, as being wrongly calculated in BSNL Membership Verification.

The above issues need to be discussed and settled.

In addition, the important problems like Wage, Revision, Bonus, 5 Promotions, Stagnation, Issues of BSNL appointed employees etc. are to taken up for settlement on a priority basis.

BSNL, BSNL - Membership Verification, Recognition

BSNL Employees Union, the Main Recognised Union, has applied for participation in the Membership Verification for recognition of unions to be held on 10th May 2016. Shri A.M.Gupta, GM(Restructuring) has been appointed as the Returning Officer. The verification by secret ballot will take place on 10th May and results declared on 12th May 2016.

This is the seventh Membership Verification in BSNL, the first starting from 2002. BSNLEU won in all the verifications except the first, which it lost to NFTE for a small % of votes. Consequent to the change in the Recognitions Rules, now there are two recognised unions BSNLEU and NFTE, the Main and Second Recognised Unions, respectively.

All India, Circle, SSA and Branch functionaries as also common workers have to be in the campaign to ensure the BSNLEU win with a good margin. 50% or should be the target of BSNLEU in this verification, which is possible if  our comrades work in a planned manner meeting all the workers and explaining the gains achieved under BSNLEU leadership.

Let us start our campaign forthwith.

Vatican recognises state of Palestine – A good gesture

Palestine, Recognition, Vatican

At last, the Vatican also has recognised the “State of Palestine.” While most of the  countries have recognised Palestine earlier, some countries did not do so, because of the pressure from the US and Israel. Now the recognition of Palestine by Vatican and Pope is a welcome step. The report on the above is given below:
“The Vatican signed a treaty with the “State of Palestine” on Friday, saying it hoped its legal recognition of the state would help stimulate peace with Israel and that the treaty itself would serve as a model for other Mideast countries.
Vatican Foreign Minister Paul Gallagher and his Palestinian counterpart, Riad al-Malki, signed the treaty at a ceremony inside the Vatican. “

135 countries recognise Palestine, but still Israeli attack continues

Palestine, Recognition

135 countries have already recognised the Palestine State, as per Palestinian Authority. France, Britain, Spain, Ireland and Sweden have recognised them recently.

But the US, Israel etc. are still adamant and have not recognised so far. Israel is still continuing the attack against the Palestine people now and then. It wants to capture further area from Palestine.

The anti-Palestine attitude of US and its chamchas should be condemned.

BSNL Management should correct its arbitrary decisions

BSNL, Councils, Recognition

The BSNL Management has been issuing arbitrary orders with regard to the recognition of unions and as also on the Council meetings after agreeing for recognition of two unions. Some of these are given below:
1. The Management denied nomination of other union members in the Councils, which has been allowed till now. Hence, many of the council seats are not filled up yet.
2. The Leader and Secretary of the Staff Side are to be elected by the Staff Side till now. Management issued arbitrary orders that the Secretary and Leader Staff Side will be shared by both the unions, instead of the democratically deciding these posts.
3. Equal seats were allotted to both BSNLEU and NFTE in the committees instead of according to proportionate representation.
4. Against the usual convention of mentioning the name of the Main recognised union first, the name of the second union was mentioned in some of the orders.
5. Orders were issued that only working employees are eligible to become members of the Councils.
BSNLEU expressed strong protests in the undemocratic and wrong decisions of these and other related matters. Now the management has corrected their stand on some issues. One, the members in the committees formed by the National Council will be according to the proportionate representation. Accordingly the number of members in the Standing Committee is decided as 3:2 for BSNLEU and NFTE. Secondly the name of the unions are mentioned first the main Recognised Union and then the second recognised union. Thirdly clarifications have been issued now stating that retired employees can also be members of the councils.
In the name of democratic and better functioning the other issues also should be decided and orders issued.
