The BSNL management has held a discussion with United Forum of BSNL
Unions on 17th September,2013 on the 30 point demands put forward for
the strike on 27th September Strike.
The discussion started at 1500 hrs and continueed upto 1900 hrs.Still only
8 items could be discussed.Though the demand of 78.2% IDA fixatioon to
pensioners was listed at 30,this was discussed on priority basis at the
insistence of the leaders..The leaders minced no words in criticising the
BSNL management for the most discriminatory clarification given to DOT
regarding extending the bbenefit of 78.2% IDA fixation to those retired
between 01-01-2007 and 09-06-2013.They pointed out that the portion in
the DOT order dated 10-06-2013 “No arrears would be paid” has created
problem in regulating the pay and revise the pension to those retired after
01-01-2007 and strongly demanded that the BSNL management should
take up the issue with DOT. For cancellation of this clause.
The next round of discussion is slated on 4th October,2013 since the
Director (HR),Shri.A.N.Rrai will be out of station during the intervenig
