BEFORE AIBSNLPWA STARTED FUNCTIONING
IN 2009…..
IN 2004, 50% DA WAS MERGED TO THE BENEFIT OF CENTRAL GOVT PENSIONERS. IN 2005, IDA CROSSED 50%. BUT THERE WAS NOBODY TO DEMND DA MERGER FOR BSNL RETIREES.
IN FEBRUARY 2008, DPE GRANTED DA MERGER IN CPSUs. THERE WAS NOBODY TO DEMND IDA MERGER FOR BSNL RETIREES.
IN MAY 2008, BSNL STAFF WAS GIVEN BENEFIT OF 50% IDA MERGER. THERE WAS NOBODY TO DEMND IDA MERGER FOR BSNL RETIREES.
IN APRIL 2009, EXECUTIVES IN BSNL GOT PAY REVISION. BENEFIT OF 50% IDA MERGER WAS TAKEN AWAY. IT COULD NOT BE RETAINED.
IN MAY 2009, AGREEMENT WAS REACHED FOR PAY REVISION OF NON-EXECUTIVES. THEN ALSO, BENEFIT OF DA MERGER WAS TAKEN BACK. IT COULD NOT BE RESISTED.
ON 20th AUGUST 2009 AIBSNLPWA WAS FORMED. IMMEDIATELY WE DEMANDED DA MERGER FOR BSNL RETIREES. WE DEMANDED THAT GOVERNMENT IS PAYING PENSION AND HENCE GOVERNMENT NEED NOT DEPEND UPON THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF BSNL.
ON 12-6-2012, AGREEMENT WAS REACHED FOR GRANTING THE BENEFIT OF 78.2 TO SERVING STAFF. WITHOUT ANY AUTHORITY IT WAS STATED THAT BSNL PENSIONERS WILL ALSO GET IT. DEPARTMENT OF TELECOM ASKED TO DELETE THAT SENTENCE CONCERNING PENSIONERS. BSNL MANAGEMENT DELETED IT. THERE WAS NO BODY TO RESIST IT. RATHER, THIS ACTION WAS KEPT AS A SECRET TILL OUR LATE COMRADE CHHIDU SINGH DISCLOSED IT.
ON 10-6-2013, ORDER WAS ISSUED GRANTING BENEFIT OF 50% IDA MERGER TO SERVING STAFF. PENSIONERS WERE DENIED THE BENEFIT. ARREARS FROM 1-1-2007 WERE DENIED TO SERVING STAFF ALSO BECAUSE OF THE AGREEMENT FOR PROSPECTIVE EFFECT.
AS A RESULT OF THE ABOVE, PENSIONERS ALSO LOST THE ARREARS FROM 1-1-2007 NOW.
TODAY, EVERYBODY IS TALKING ABOUT BSNL PENSIONERS. THERE ARE MANY A XAVIOURS. GREAT & SUPER!
NOBODY CAN IGNORE BSNL PENSIONERS NOW.
LET US NOT FORGET THE PAST, THE PERIOD BEFORE 20-8-2009. ============================== P S Ramankutty
