ALL INDIA BSNL OFFICERS’ ASSOCIATION

CHENNAI TELEPHONES

No. AIBSNLOA/CHTD/CEC/09-10/01 DATED: 11.08.2009.

Dear Comrades,

While welcoming you all for the First CEC of our All India BSNL Officers’ Association Chennai Telephone District, it is my pleasure to inform this August body that barring a few, the entire Executives Fraternity of erstwhile AIBSNLEA Chennai, has come into the folder of our All India BSNL Officers’ Association that shows the strong sense of unity amongst us. Comrades now it is time for the Circle Office Bearers to shoulder more responsibility in getting things done for our colleagues amidst hostile situation prevailing upon us and we need to carry forward the message to ensure Executives throughout India come along with this newly formed AIBSNLOA at the earliest. I now submit the activities of our Association for the past five months from March 2009 for elaborate discussion.

Minutes of last CEC (06-03-09)

AIBSNLEA CHQ has unilaterally dissolved existing AIBSNLEA Circle Body of Chennai TD and choicest ones of GS AIBSNLEA have been nominated to constitute Adhoc body in this Circle. As per AIBSNLEA constitution, in fact, there is no power for GS AIBSNLEA to do so. This shows his perverted mind, peevish mentality and autocratic way of functioning which is highly condemnable in innumerable words.

Such move has created a Black Day in this Democratic Country, that too, in the annals of functioning of Trade Unions. All Chennai TD Members are finding themselves completely let down again, as before, by GS AIBSNLEA.

Appropriate and fitting reply to such improper actions of CHQ led by coterie similar to the kitchen cabinet will surely face severe reprisals from AIBSNLEA country-wide and also from this Circle. Solidarity at this time will be surely demonstrated to give them the fittest reply.

As scheduled, the 2nd extended CEC of AIBSNLEA Ch TD was held on 06-03-09, from 10-00 Hrs onwards, at JETA Bhavan, Chennai CEC Members and many Members attended meet.

Upholding the spirit of our Chennai TD Executives and the non-cooperative mood of AIBSNLEA CHQ that has stooped to dissolving elected body of this Circle unconstitutionally which is unheard of in the annals of Trade Unionism, all the members of AIBSNLEA Chennai TD have unanimously decided to join en-masse in AIBSNLOA. Hence, AIBSNLOA Chennai TD is formed leaving almost empty the AIBSNLEA in this Metro. AIBSNLOA Chennai is almost having the same body of Circle office bearers.

Newly elected office bearers are as given below:

Circle President: Com. M.Nageswara Rao, DE who was previously VP.

Circle Vice-President: Com.E.Sankara Prasad, DGM vice Com.M.Nageswara Rao.

Circle Vice-President: Com.K.Packiaraj, DGM, vice Com.V.Sivasamy who is already retired.

Many more Circle Secretaries of AIBSNLEA have started to recognize now that incommunicado mode GS of AIBSNLEA CHQ who is questioned will only be facing such similar fate.

07-03-09:

Circular (1)- regarding the mission with me, the Executives of Chennai Telephones working under AIBSNLEA, have joined en-masse in All India BSNL Officers Association through Extended Circle Executive Committee.

13/03/2009

1966 SDE seniority Case as per the verdict of Eranakulam / Delhi High Court Seniority has been protected. Order in this regard is being issued.

CIRCULAR (2) dated 14/03/09-

My dear beloved Comrades, Proxy war of words is on from the adjacent Circle wherein through website updating are made by the mouthpiece novice for their 3 paramours who are wrongly inducted through the misdeeds of CHQ-AIBSNLEA.

Infuriated by their website updates, many of our comrades and Office Bearers have contacted the Ado OBs as to who is maintaining and doing updates of their proxy website. They replied that only the adjacent Circle is maintaining it. The pity is that they are not able to control the puppet. Adjacent Circle OBs, who are touring in ChTD area, in support of their newly found unpaid membership Chennai counter parts, are explicitly proving that they are really nomads who roam aimlessly, they also reveal their ignorance.

These facts are very much proved from their message dated 12.03.09, wherein it was mentioned that we have conducted a meeting in "port" Exchange, the name by which no Chennai Telephones employee will mention, but say as "Harbour" exchange only.

If you see the history of the surrogate leaders, two of them have not at all paid their subscription to assn. to which they belong, for 36/48 months, but now elevated to head it and one has departed to Transferred Circle without making over Accounts properly.

AIBSNLEA-CHQ Finance Secretary is supposed to keep up the Accounts up-to-date, but is wrongly accusing others through website. None of them are interested to safe guard the interests or welfare of their Members, like their mentor perhaps.

In Trade Unionism, cordial relation with adjacent Circle is very much important; but from those who have bad intention, we cannot expect such basic instinct, as displayed by their very contact. Running from pillar to post for garnering support will only result in vexation and that is only revealed through their heat of updates.

Let us carry out our mission to achieve our Targets and set priority rather than washing dirty linen in public. Let us show them in action to mend & correct them by our action.

They are even touring a non-existent "Port" Exchange. Alas! These touring people are not only novices, but also prove to be of no voice.
