NFTE AGAINST REVISING THE RETIREMENT AGE


No.TF—11/8 (c)                  Date 4/4/2011

Subject: -Rationalisation of Manpower in BSNL: - Request to spell out the move.
 -O-

Respected Shri Misrajee,

           
           A very large number of employees in BSNL are greatly perturbed as the Board of Reconstruction of Public Sector Enterprises has recommended and suggested the BSNL to rationalise the manpower through the process of VRS, lowering of retirement age to 58 years, reduction of allowances of workers and maximum outsourcing. It has appeared in the peess that the BSNL Headquarter was required to submit its action taken report to DOT by 31st March of the year.

            It may please be recalled that myself and President met you on 30/3/2011 and mentioned the anxieties of the employees on the recommendations of the BRPSE. If we recollect correctly you promptly told us that these are not in the agenda of the Company and need of the hour is to improve the services and ignore such recommendations appearing in the press. We accepted your assurance without hesitation.

            It is, however, our responsibility to apprise that there is enough confusion in the field that the employees will be retrenched through various methods which is affecting the morale of the workers. You will please appreciate, sir that the employees having fears and anxieties about their job security may not contribute well for the Company. This will further affect the company. We strongly feel that such atmosphere may not be allowed to continue rather it should be nipped in the bud.

           Therefore, I on behalf of NFTE and BSNL Workers Alliance request you to please take appropriate action to dispel the misunderstandings created due to the pernicious recommendations of BRPSE.

           The NFTE and BSNLWA are strongly opposed to all these and may not overlook the developments.
           With regards.
                                                                                          Yours sincerely,
(Chandeshwar Singh)
General Secretary
