Time: 4:00 PM
Presided by: Shri Suresh Kumar, General Secretary, SNATTA
📢 Meeting Overview
An online meeting of SNATTA UPE Telecom Circle was held at 4:00 PM on 10th October 2025, with enthusiastic participation from Junior Engineers (JEs) across UP East Circle.
The session was presided over by Shri Suresh Kumar, General Secretary, SNATTA, and attended by members of the SNATTA Core Committee and several active JEs from the circle.
The meeting commenced with a warm welcome address by Shri Vins Kumar Singh, who extended greetings to all participants and expressed deep appreciation for the leadership and guidance of GS SNATTA, Shri Suresh Kumar Ji.
🎙️ Address by GS SNATTA – Shri Suresh Kumar Ji
In his detailed address, Shri Suresh Kumar Ji briefed members on the current situation in BSNL and expressed serious concern over the injustice faced by the JE cadre.
He highlighted that most unions and associations appear to have ignored the interests of Junior Engineers, stressing that only unity and collective action can secure justice and dignity for JEs.
He explained that although the 3rd Pay Revision Agreement has been signed, the removal of SNATTA representatives from the negotiation process at the final stage resulted in complete neglect of the JE cadre.
This, he noted, was a deliberate exclusion that denied rightful recognition to JEs who continue to contribute significantly to BSNL’s technical and operational performance.
“Despite our technical expertise and consistent dedication, the Junior Engineers of BSNL have been deprived of fair pay and career growth. The time has come for us to stand united and reclaim our rightful place,” said GS SNATTA.
He further informed members that legal and organizational measures remain available to challenge the unjust pay revision, but emphasized that unity and structured organization are key to success.
To this end, he urged the strengthening of SNATTA’s circle and BA-level structure to ensure smooth coordination and active participation in all future programs.
💬 Discussion Points
JE Vijay Ji expressed that JEs are performing responsibilities comparable to executives yet are paid less than the lowest-level staff, highlighting a severe disparity.
JE Shekhar Ji proposed that a delegation of JEs should personally meet the CMD BSNL to raise their grievances.
In response, GS Suresh Kumar Ji confirmed that a detailed representation has already been submitted to CMD BSNL and DoT officials.
JE Bhanu Ji emphasized the need for follow-up actions to ensure JE issues receive proper attention at the top management level.
JE Vaibhav Ji suggested exploring the formation of an independent JE Union dedicated solely to JE welfare, with funds used exclusively for JE-related activities.
JE Ashish Ji shared his experiences and stressed collective participation for impactful results.
JE Krishna Ji acknowledged the low morale among JEs but reaffirmed that JEs have strong and valid grounds to oppose the current wage revision agreement.
🗳️ Decisions Taken
- Regular meetings will be conducted across all Business Areas (BAs) in the UPE Circle to strengthen the organizational structure and unity.
- Steps will be initiated to enhance JE unity and explore the formation of an independent JE body for representation and welfare.
- Follow-up with BSNL management regarding JE pay scale and representation issues will continue under the guidance of GS SNATTA Shri Suresh Kumar Ji.
📌 Note to All Members
It has been decided to conduct another meeting shortly for the reformation of the SNATTA Circle Body and all BA-level Bodies within UP East.
All Junior Engineers are requested to extend full support and active participation in this process.
“Our unity is our strength. Together, we can ensure justice, representation, and recognition for every JE of BSNL.”
