Highlights of today’s Wage Revision Committee meeting.
A meeting of the Wage Revision Committee is held today. All the members of the BSNLEU attended the meeting. Two minutes’ silence was observed to pay homage to Com. Islam Ahmed, former NFTE president and member of the Wage Revision Committee, who passed away a few days ago.
The Staff Side took serious efforts to finalize the Wage Revision agreement today. As a result, understanding is reached between the Staff Side and the Management Side on the following important issues.
1) Fitment for the Non- Executives will be at par with the fitment allowed to the Executive employees.
2) Staff Side strongly argued for modification of the 4 pay scales already identified by the Staff Side in the earlier meetings. However, this was not agreed to by the Management Side.
3) However, since the conversion factor used to form the NE9 pay scale is low, compared to the other pay scales of the Non- Executives, Management Side agreed to once again take up the NE 9 pay scale with the top Management, for modification.
4) The perks and allowances will be revised with effect from the date of signing of this Wage Agreement.( A committee is already constituted for the revision of allowances)
5) Anomalies / aberrations / pay loss, arising out of this Wage Revision, will be addressed suitably. Our demand for giving extra increment in case of stagnation is not accepted.
6) The Committee is of the view that, the pay scales with shorter spans, proposed to be implemented in this Wage Revision, should not form the basis for the next Wage Revision.
7) the date for the next meeting of the Wage Revision Committee is tentatively fixed as 26-09- 2025. Wage Revision Agreement is likely to be signed on that day.
