A COWARD DIES MANY TIMES !!!…
BUT A BRAVE DIES ONLY ONCE..
OJTOs ASSOCIATION WELCOMES AN OPEN DISCUSSION ON THE FOLLOWING FIVE MAJOR ISSUES ..
MEMBERS AS WELL AS OTHERS CAN PARTICIPATE AND MAIL VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS ( WITH THEIR MOBILE NUMBER ) TO ojtobsnl@gmail.com .
1)
MAINTAINING STATUS-CO AS OJTO:
Re-officiating order issued from Circle office , Kerala dtd 3-1-2012 was only up to 31st March 2012 instead of up to 2nd July 2012 and the order already issued for another batch up to May 2012 was cancelled and re-issued only up to 31st March 2012.The Association took the matter very serious and pointed out to the authorities about the recent order by Hon. CAT,EKM (dtd 09-12-2011) on OA 106/2010 (filed by Mr. Jagannathan Sec. Tvm SSA, Mr. Baijumon Sec. Alpy SSA etc..) to maintain the status-co till a final decision on our representation is derived in the case of relaxation of qualification to OJTOs for appearing JTO LICE , and got assurance from the authorities that there will not be any break or change from the conventional method of Re-officiating ,other than streamlining the officiating of all the batches from a single date.
2) REGULARIZATION OF OJTOs :
As per the directions in the order of Hon.CAT ,EKM on OA No: 207, requesting regularization either by ‘personal up gradation’ or by any other method what is felt amicable by the authorities to settle our long pending issue has been submitted during
the 1st week of December 2011 to the CO, Delhi; in which it is very clearly underlined that personal up gradation never attracts contempt of court ( Only diversion is stopped by Chandigharh HC ). Hon. EKM CAT has directed us to wait two months for a positive decision from the concerned authorities or if not to approach the same court. In the representation we have demanded to fix the date of regularization at least as on the day of starting of our officiating service.
3) FR 22 1(a) 1 :
A contempt of court case on this issue is filed by Mr. Kabeerdas at Delhi Principle CAT. Our association is watching every developments in this
regard and well prepared to handle it both financially and legally. Mean while on 13th Jan 2012 Hon. High Court Delhi has dismissed the petition filed by BSNL against the order of Delhi Principal CAT and ordered BSNL to implement FR 22 1 (a) 1 to all officiating JTOs. Adamant attitude of the BSNL management once again proved !! BSNL PLAN TO FILE SLP IN THE supreme Court against implementing FR 22 1 (a) 1 !!! We are sure we will win in Supreme court also. FR 22 1 (a) 1 case at EKM High Court is also to be taken care. But it is came to the notice of the association that some fraud play is done by some of ( 3 or 4 OJTOs of Kerala circle ) our old members those who were thrown out from our association for stealing the common fund is now again trying to cheat our members begging cash and spreading fake stories( Qualification relaxation to OJTOs for sitting JTO LDCE and status-co protection is a case won purely by our association. But these fellows claim as their victory !! ). Once again all OJTOs all over India are requested to be careful about this selfish Brutus.
4 ) JTO LDCE ( how the exam has to be conducted ?)
The conditions in the JTO LDCE notification was not acceptable to us due to many reasons. We pointed out five major mistakes of that notification and corrected three of them with the help of favorable orders from Hon.CAT.
a) One TTA who has joined during 2002 was able to become JTO of 2001 ..!!!!! We could win year wise split up of vacancies rather than clubbing them in 2009 and defeat this ‘Uttoppian idea’. ( OA 203/207)
b) A man who has crossed age cut off (50 years) just in the year 2009 was not allowed to sit for exam even if he was eligible for the years from 2000 to 2008. We fought against this discrimination and won to settle the issue. ( OA 203/207 )
c) A large number of OJTOs were disqualified ( Mechanical, Instrumentation etc.) to sit for the exam and denied their chance to improve their seniority. We could win this through another CAT order on OA 106 .
Now what is remaining ..
1) To reserve vacancies up to 2009 for DoT hands: BSNL has amended the 2001 RR and made the minimum year of experience to 7 yrs from 10 yrs during 2010 with out mentioning any retrospective effect in the amendment. But many of the circle authorities interpreted and tried to allow 7 yrs experience even for the vacancies prior to 2009. This would have reasoned an unfair competition between aged but more experienced hands and youngsters. Unfortunately we could not win the case of avoiding the retrospective effect of amendment in the Hon. CAT,EKM , even if the court has observed it illegal. Dept. was about to issue notification for exam. without correcting this major mistake. So we filed another application in the Hon. High Court ,EKM and the court including the Hon.Chief Justice of Kerala High Court found merit in our case and stayed all further proceedings of JTO LDCE. We are sure we will win it and reserve all the vacancies up to 2009 for seniors.
These young TTAs are recruited to BSNL to work as TTAs for at least 10 yrs. In some of the web sites run by this youngsters they claim that they all are Btech. even though their basic recruitment qualification is Diploma. We wonder why do they declare war against their senior TTAs of same recruitment qualification. We advice them if they are so bright and Btech. go to the open market and fight for outside JTO 50% quota. We also know that almost all of them have tried many times and failed in that battle.
2) To ensure seniority for 2000 DoT list over BSNL JTO LDCE list: As per the agreement signed between DoT and the recognized unions of that time in the year 2000 during the transition of the DoT to BSNL we the OJTOs stand senior to any other recruitments of BSNL in the cadre of JTO. We strongly and without any compromise demand our seniority over the proposed JTO LDCE list. So we demand REGULARIZATION BEFORE LDCE. We hope we will win in this battle too. We are well prepared to fight up to the Apex court to ensure our seniority.
One unethical union took birth in our BSNL in the year 2006. (That was a wrong baby. There after our BSNL started to decline). That union has unnecessarily blocked our promotion which paid them nothing. They stopped the diversion from outside quota (DoT. vacancies left un used before 2000). This diversion was totally not harmful to these young boys. Fist time in the history of the world one group of junior employs stopped the benefits of another group of employees for no use. Later on we realized that the then leader of that union has become DRJTO during
2008 and he wanted seniority over all the 6000 OJTOs was the reason for filing a case in the Chandigarh HC!!! . SATAN !!!
We hope a final verdict will come out within two or three hearings at Chandigharh court by the middle of 2012 and the Contempt case will be over.
5) SDE LDCE ( ANOTHER MOST ILLEGAL AND WRONG ATTEMPT)
JTO is the feeder cadre of SDE . BSNL has not yet recruited a single JTO from the departmental quota since 2000. That is for the last long twelve years no JTO LDCE has been conducted. Also BSNL has not regularized even a single candidate from second qualifying list as per RR 1996 of DoT. Even super numarory JTOs are not allowed to attend exam!!. That is last portion of the 1
st qualifying list conducted as per 1990 RR by DoT in the year 1995 regularized as numarory is also kicked out from the exam. Then for whom the SDE promotion is reserved ?? Only for BJTOs and those who were recruited before decades back !! Now BSNL is going to fill all the SDE posts up to 2010 through a single SDE LDCE. This is totally illegal and arbitrary. Association hopes that some ‘Lokauktha’ or Human rights Depts. will take up a case as their own against this unbelievable decision of BSNL and punish/imprison the culprits.
