PROGRESS IN 78.2% CASES
We have already reported about the work done by our Madurai comrades in settling 78.2% case. It is not repeated here. There are reports from other SSAs of Tamil Nadu saying that the cases are being processed with utmost priority.
Salem: 380 pre-2007 cases and 584 post-2007 cases are being finalized.
Trichy: 345 pre-2007 cases and 324 post-2007 cases are being finalized.
Cuddalore: 140 pre-2007 cases and 331 post-2007 cases are being finalized.
Karaikudi: 101 pre-2007 cases and 225 post-2007 cases are being finalized.
Dharmapuri: 69 pre-2007 cases and 97 post-2007 cases are being finalized.
…………………………………………………………………………………
District Secretaries of other SSAs are called upon to meet the concerned Account Officers and pursue the matter. Else there will be delay. We are observing that instructions from BSNL Corporate Office are not given due importance by field offices of BSNL.This is the new work culture.
Shri Ananthkumar, Honourable Minister for Parliamentary Affairs will attend the Open Session to be held at 4 PM on 12-11-2016 in Sheesh Mahal, Palace Grounds, Bangalore in connection with our ensuing CWC meeting.
Other details about the arrangements made for stay of CWC members, the programme of the meeting etc. will be intimated through this website shortly.
Madurai (Tamil Nadu) is our biggest branch in the entire country with 1500 members.
Com. G R Dharmarajan is the District Secretary. Regarding the 78.2% case he reports:
1.The Madurai SSA office sent 522 pre-2007 cases to Pr. CCA, Tamil Nadu on 13-09-2016.
CCA office has issued authorization letters in all the 522 cases. More than 100 Pensioners received their copies too.
2. Madurai SSA office has forwarded 620 post-2007 cases also to CCA office on 31-10-2016.
We congratulate Com. Dharmarajan and his team who are doing very systematic work.
Today, the Union government approved 2 per cent dearness allowance and relief benefiting about 50.68 lakh employees and 54.24 lakh pensioners. The decision to provide 2 per cent DA on basic pay was taken by the Cabinet and will be effective from July 1, 2016.
For the last many years, the CDA increase from July was used to be announced in September, This time it is delayed by one month. In fact, the quantum of increase is quite unsatisfactory. See the calculations given below:
Earlier Basic Pay (under 6th CPC): Rs 10000. CDA increase as per old formula: 7% =
Rs 700.00
New Basic Pay (under 7th CPC): Rs 25700.00 CDA @ 2%: Rs 514.00
Same futile action of sending reminders. Director (HR) of BSNL Board has once again written a reminder letter to all Circles not to delay pension cases. Instead of sending reminder after reminder the BSNL Board should take action against those who delay the Pension cases.
See the latest reminder...Inordinate delay in pension processing
Yesterday, on 26-10-2016, the Supreme Court of India delivered another landmark judgement.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday said any employer paying less wages to temporary staff was indulging in an “act of exploitative enslavement”.
It has already been held that ‘equal pay for equal work’ is a constitutional principle, said the apex court. The court also decried any move to make differential treatment with temporary employees at times described as daily-wage employees, ad hoc appointees, employees appointed on casual basis, contractual employees and the like.
“It is fallacious to determine artificial parameters to deny fruits of labour. An employee engaged for the same work, cannot be paid less than another, who performs the same duties and responsibilities. Certainly not, in a welfare state. Such an action besides being demeaning, strikes at the very foundation of human dignity,” a bench of Justices J S Khehar and S A Bobde said.
The court said any one, compelled to work at a lesser wage, does not do so voluntarily as he has to provide food and shelter to his family “at the cost of his self respect and dignity, self worth, and his integrity.”
“Any act, of paying less wages, as compared to others similarly situate, constitutes an act of exploitative enslavement, emerging out of a domineering position. Undoubtedly, the action is oppressive, suppressive and coercive, as it compels involuntary subjugation,” the bench said.
