UPDATES ON MEETING WITH GM (PERS)
AIGETOA was called today by GM (Pers) to present its view on the issue of parity in promotions. We categorically mentioned that as far as practicable there should be parity in promotions in all the streams. However, this parity in promotions should not be used as tool to delay the promotions of other stream.
On the issue of promotions from JTO to SDE, AIGETOA categorically mentioned that all available vacancies as on date should be filled up for all the eligible candidates. All the vacancies including those arisen due to recent SDE to DE Promotions should also be included so that maximum available candidates can be promoted. If needed, some posts can be upgraded.
SDE to DE promotions: Complete list 8 should be covered. Partial List is not at all acceptable. For list 9, consideration should be based on Rota Quota between SCF and LDCE candidates. The list 9 should immediately be prepared in line with the SDE RR in the ratio of 2:1 between SCF and LDCE candidates.
Relaxation should be given in Residency Period to cover maximum candidates for both the Technical as well as Finance stream to compensate for the loss due to delay in promotions from JAO to AO and JTO to SDE. Focus of management should be on making maximum young candidates as AGM so that void in middle level management can be done away with.
Shortfall in posts should be covered by surrendering the obsolete posts across various cadres so that more posts can be created on matching saving basis.
Further, CPSU should only be implemented after completing the current DPCs and promoting all eligible candidates. Further, in the proposed policy, Residency Period should be reduced to eliminate the probability of litigations and to ensure a fast career path for youngsters.
AIGETOA was categorical in stating that promotions through DPCs for filling up all the available posts should be done to avoid financial loss as well as uncertainty in promotions, then only CPSU should be implemented.
On asked about the course of action from management side, GM PERS told that they shall be taking a decision within next two days and the same shall be communicated. In the meanwhile, it is learnt that one of the Association is trying to exercise all its might and bargaining power to push management to notify CPSU. However, AIGETOA is firm in its view that existing posts should be filled up first before implementing CPSU. AIGETOA will take all efforts to extend the promotions to BSNL recruits and is ready to follow all actions.
GS also discussed the issue of request transfer cases of SDEs promoted recently through LDCE. GS said that when management itself has called for options for request transfer as a part of promotion exercise and all the requests have already been forwarded through proper channel, then asking the request once again through proper channel is not justified. GS requested to consider all the requests as they are very few in numbers. GM Pers agreed to reconsider based on the merit of the individual cases. We shall keep following this till it happens.
