Today AIBSNLEA has written a letter to BSNL management for including cascading effects points in E2/E3 letter of reconsideration to be sent to DOT. It is really unfortunate that when all the Executives in BSNL have joined together in the struggle for E2 and E3 scales unconditionally, such demands are raised by them which may kill the whole issue. Earlier, AIBSNLEA has given support letter for the struggle, even agreed to have joint struggle at one point of time. Cascading effect shall be a show stopper in settlement of pay scales and this fact is known to everyone in BSNL. At this point of time, when the agitation by the Executives forced DoT to reconsider the decision, our own comrades and Assns are again trying to derail the issue by seeking cascading effect in replacement of Non Standard Pay Scales E1A and E2A by E2 and E3.

It is our appeal to AIBSNLEA to withdraw the letter and give a letter in support of settling E2 and E3 scales alone. Otherwise the history will never forgive them. All the members of AIBSNLEA should force the leadership to change the stand on E2 and E3 scales and support the agitation.
