03.08.2016]RLC directs BSNL Management to settle PLI formula and declare PLI by 31.08.2016.

The Regional Labour Commissioner (Central) conducted conciliation today the 03.08.2016, between the BSNLEU and the BSNL Management, on payment of PLI on which the union observed demonstrations throughout the country on 01.04.2016 and dharna on 07.04.2016. Com. Swapan Chakraborty, Dy.GS, BSNLEU and com. V.A.N. Namboodiri, Patron, BSNLEU participated in the conciliation on behalf of the union. GM (SR), Shri A.M. Gupta participated from the Management. The union representative strongly argued that the Management has denied payment of adhoc minimum PLI @ Rs.7,000/- to the Non-Executives for 2014-15 pending finalization of PLI formula. The representative further complained that the Management called a ‘hurried’ meeting and giving oral notice to the union on the evening of 29th March, 2016 and conducted meeting on 30th March, 2016, even though the union informed the Management it’s inability to attend the meeting and requested to hold the meeting with proper notice. It is learnt that the Management has proposed payment of a 2 digit amount instead of standing orders of minimum PLI @ Rs.7,000/- and that an agreement was reached denying opportunity to the Major Recognised Representative Union to place it’s views on the important issue affecting the workers. Management Side could not give any valid argument. Finally, the RLC directed the Management to settle the PLI for the Non-Executives before 31st August, 2016. The RLC also clarified that no further extension of time will be given to the Management, keeping in mind the demand of the union that the Festival shall start from 1st week of October, 2016. The next meeting is fixed on 31st August, 2016.
