Highlights of today’s Wage Revision Committee meeting.
Meeting of the Wage Revision Committee is held at 11:00 am today. After the last Wage Revision Committee meeting, the CHQ contacted all the circle secretaries and CHQ office bearers and took their views regarding the proposed new pay scales, fitment, etc. All Staff Side members of BSNLEU participated in today’s meeting and strongly raised the following demands:-
- The view of the Management will be taken on the Staff Side’s demand for Wage Revision with 5% fitment.
- The number of employees who are facing / will face stagnation, from 2022 up to 2026, will be collected.
- The instances given by the Staff Side, regarding reduction in pension, in case of 0% fitment, will be looked into by the Management Side.
- Pay reduction if any, that will arise after the Wage Revision, will be further studied by the Management Side.
Fitment for the Non-Executives should be at par with the Executives. This point should be mentioned in the Wage Revision agreement.
Management should give an assurance that the pay scales implemented in this Wage Revision should not be made the basis for the next Wage Revision.
Loss of pay to any employee after implementation of this Wage Revision, should be compensated by granting additional increments.
Stagnation faced by any employee after implementation of this Wage Revision should be appropriately addressed by the Management.
In today’s discussions, the Management Side strongly argued that, agreement on Wage Revision of the Non-Executives can be signed only after implementation of Pay Revision of the Executives. The Staff Side strongly rejected this and demanded immediate signing of the Wage Revision agreement of the Non-Executives. A lot of heated arguments took place on this issue. Finally, the Management Side agreed to prepare the draft Wage Revision agreement. Next meeting of the Wage Revision Committee will be held on 11.09.2025.
