The Special General body meeting of Trichy SSA 

was convened at the Conference Hall, O/o.The GMT, 

Trichy on 31-01-2015.

 The meeting was presided over by Com.S.Sundarakrishnan, 

Circle President. 

Com. V.Jayaganesan, District president 

welcomed the gathering.

 Our beloved CHQ president Com.G.L.Jogi, 

our beloved GS Com.K.Sebastin, 

Com.R.Rajan, CHQ Treasurer, 

Com.M.Gopinathan, CS, 

Com.V.Mahendran, CWC member,

 Com.M.R.Tamilkodi, ACS attended and 

addressed the meeting. 

Com.Palaniappan, DS / Tanjore SSA, 

Com.Sreenivasan, DS / Kumbakonam SSA 

along with comrades of Tanjore and Kumbakonam SSAs participated.

CHQ President Com G L Jogi in his address explained how 

the cadre has been uplifted since 1980s, first in 1986 

by pay scale up gradation, in 1990 by introduction of

 lateral advancement in the cadre of JTO and SDE

 in DoT alone, pay scale up gradation in 1996 along

 with Group B gazetted status which ensured the 

absorption of JTO alone as an Executive in BSNL 

in the basic cadre, another hike in pay scale to 

E1A in BSNL when BSNL offered E1 scale etc.      

      All this achievements are result of continuous struggle.

 SNEA (erstwhile TEOA) was the only one Assn opposed 

the absorption just for an Adhoc payment of Rs 2000. 

This Association alone struggled for terms and condition

 for absorption in BSNL. Final settlement like E1A, E2A, ---

 E6 pay scales, five time bound promotions within 4 to 6 

years and point to point fitment were reached

 as a result of the historic struggle done by TEOA (I) 

and then BSNLEA(I). Regarding the pay scales, 

the management categorically informed that E1A pay scale 

will be given only for absorbed JTOs and not for Direct 

recruited JTOs of BSNL.

 This association not accepted the offer and firmly replied 

that the settlement is for the cadre JTO. 

Finally BSNL management agreed for that settlement. 

EPF issue with 12% of emoluments without the ceiling

 of Rs 6500/ was settled by SNEA in August 2005. 

TBP policy introduced in 2007, 

2ndPRC report implemented in BSNL, 

BSNL MS RR notified in 2009 

breaking the bottleneck of JTS/ADET prevailed in DoT/BSNL, 

more than 18,500 JTOs promoted as SDEs since 2000, 

more than 3500 SDEs promoted as DEs and about

 450 DEs promoted as DGMs. 

GS in his address reminded the comrades that 

through continuous struggle during the last

 three decades we could make significant improvements

 in the career of each and every Executive and also

 the role played by SNEA alone in safeguarding 

the interest of our beloved company BSNL. 

    Wrong policies of the Govt which favoured 

the private operators really made BSNL sick 

and BSNL never got support from the Govt 

whenever it was necessitated. 

     Our struggle under Forum saved BSNL from disinvestment

 and unbundling of copper cable etc. 

Further SNEA along with others struggled against 

arbitrarily discontinuing ADC, CDMA roaming by Reliance, 

to save the 45.5 million tender in 2007, BWA spectrum refund, 

3G roaming etc.,c. 

  This association struggled for the upward revisions

 in the pay scales (1986, 1996 and 2000 in BSNL). 

      Instead of just one time bound promotion after

 12 years in DoT now we are having 5 Time bound promotions 

each after every 5 years. 

Hundreds of DR JTOs retired even without 

a single functional promotion but now executives are 

reaching up to DGM posts etc are some of the 

significant milestones. 

In future, we assure that our young comrades 

may reach up to GM post. 

Another major breakthrough was the amendment

 in BSNLMS RR in January, 2014 to end adhocism 

by increasing the quota from 50% to 75%. 

JTO(T) to SDE(T) promotion delayed due to court cases. 

LDCE is already notified for all the vacancy years 

to make JTO to SDE promotion also current in both quotas.

 Assn is also pleading for JAO to AO promotions

 for all the vacancies. 

He narrated the importance of membership 

verification and also about the ongoing struggle under Forum.

Our veteran leaders and other comrades were felicitated on 

their retirement on superannuation. Meeting concluded 

with vote of thanks by Com.G.Janakiraman, District secretary.
