After this letter AIGETOA waited for its execution, sensing delay Shri. R.P. Shahu, GS AIGETOA on 4th October 2010 vide letter No: CHQ/AIGETOA/292 (click for the letter) wrote to GM (Establishment), BSNL C.O. regarding the non-implementation of the resolutions as per record of discussion during agenda meetings.

Item no: 2 in the above letter clearly states “Almost one month had passed now and something concrete on this issue is yet to come out. Still we are sincerely hoping that your office is working positively on the issue and will not wait for the last day of the prescribed time in the agenda meeting for its resolution. This issue is of utmost important to us since our newly recruited younger brothers are suffering very badly because of non-finalization of scales.”  GS, also wrote to refrain from the making the pay scale 16400-40500 permanent for the newly recruited JTO’s.

AIGETOA plans to start Operation Sangarsh in October 2010; issues instructions to Circle bodies and District bodies to gear up for Operation Sangarsh.

Finally BSNL constituted Committee for looking into loss of pay for JTO’s of 2007 & 2008 vide letter no: 1-29/2010-PAT (BSNL) (click for the letter).

6th February 2011

At the Calcutta CWC of AIGETOA on 6th & 7th February 2011, Management representatives had assured positive outcomes for the problems of DR’s.

From reliable sources we have come to know that an association which has never stood for Direct Recruits in its history, sensing that the problem of new JTO’s is getting resolved wanted to take credit of it and plotted for it. Assuming a delay of one month, the committee under the chairmanship of Shri. K.C.G.K Pillai, PGM (FP) was expected to come out with its report on the pay scale issues of new JTO’s by 15th February 2011.

15th February 2011...........

On 15th February new order 1-11/2009 PAT (Click here for letter) comes to allow personal pay for those 2007 & 2008 JTO’s joined before 5th March 2009 which will not bring any benefit to the new JTO’s, since none of them has been appointed as JTO before 5th March 2009 even though some batches were in training.

On 16th February 2011 SNEA issued notice for Lunch hour demonstration and Dharna on 24th Feb & 4th March 2011 respectively citing solidarity for the cause of 2007 & 2008 JTO’s.

On 17th February 2011 the order issued by BSNL which has no benefits was kept in abeyance;
for whom ?, nobody knows.

AIGETOA never wants to conduct a Dharna just for the sake of making somebody stand in the Sun for the sake of personal gains. AIGETOA will highlight the selfless hard work it has done for the new JTO’s.
