It is understood that the BSNL Management Committee has approved the proposal of 3rd Pay Revision Committee with full 15% fitment for the executives w.e.f 01.01.2017. However this will have to be approved by the Remuneration Committee and thereafter by the full BSNL Board with DOT Director/s. Then it has to be got approved by the administrative ministry which warrants serious united struggle.

If the the Management is serious and sincere, they should start wage negotiation immediately with the recognised unions of the non-executives in BSNL.

As for the BSNL absorbed DOT Pensioners, the government should take necessary action to implement pension revision with 15% fitment, since the pension is to be paid by the government itself. Pensioners are senior citizens and their case needs immediate attention.
