It should be given effect immediately by implementing the" TIME BOUND PROMOTION". Clause 7(iv): The sanctioning of posts of Technical Assistants two each in MRT and Special Maintenance wings on par with the pre- revised status is still pending. Considering the huge volume of works in the MRT and Special Maintenance, it was agreed during negotiations to retain the two posts each in MRT and Special maintenance on par with the norms already in existence. This should be sanctioned immediately before entering into the new settlement. To improve the functions of the section offices in distribution sections, one Technical Assistant post was agreed to be created during the negotiations of the revised work norms settlement dated While entering in to the settlement it was allowed in City sections only. The posts of the Technical Assistant to the section offices in other than City sections are pending. The same to be sanctioned in the better interest of the organization. To settle the grievances of the employees working in Hydro stations a committee was constituted by the board. The committee has not met for the past two years. The committee must be directed to meet and submit its recommendations immediately. The demands agreed during negotiations and discussions:./ 1100 vacancies in the post of Technical Assistants are agreed to be filled up by Direct Recruitment.

4 Continuation Sheet Tamil Nadu Electricity Board Engineers' Sangam./ Implementing the award of the Industrial Tribunal and the Judgement of the Hon'ble High court of Chennai, in ordering common designation for the posts of Assistant Engineers and Junior Engineers. This will not affect the seniority and service conditions of both the community Diploma and Degree Engineers. Above all there is no financial commitment to the Board../ The grievances in the promotions of Junior Engineer Grade-II/Electrical, Junior Engineer Grade-II/Mechanical (both diploma and non-diploma channels) are still pending. Due to lack of co-ordination in handling the cases in the court, lot of problems in the promotions are experienced and the seniors are adversely affected. The same should be settled within a time frame../ The sanctioning of posts hitherto made as Assistant Engineer / Junior Engineer grade-i in the board, must be continued in the BP No: 13, dated for the posts sanctions of the new projects of NCTPS and MTPS extension schemes../ The existing method of sanctioning of posts with the interchangeability and hierarchy of Engineering in "the categories of AE and JE should not be changed. Since the changes will only create demarcation among the Community of degree and Diploma Engineers. This is not a healthy condition for ~he board../ The draft organization structure of TANTRANSCO issued vide B.P.No.31, dt is injurious to the Diploma Engineers and created with the intention to ruin the service carrier/conditions of the diploma engineers of the Board. The draft organization structure has to be dropped in total and the organization structure with the existing pattern has to be continued without any deviation. The above said issues were negotiated and agreed during the discussion on and Unfortunately in spite of many reminders it is still pending. Other issues pending to be settled: The recommendations of the one man commission to be implemented for the Assistant Engineers / Junior Engineers Grade-I and Assistant Executive Engineers working in TNEB. The scales of the selection grade and special grade promotional Pay Band with suitable grade pay instead of the same Pay Band. are to be fixed in the granting 3/0 increment in Page 3 of5

5 Continuation Sheet Tamil Nadu Electricity Board Engineers' Sangam The method of exercising option for fixation of scales in the 6 th pay commission is different from the previous commissions. Hence lot of problems was experienced by the employees in giving fixation option. Few employees who are unaware of the fixations methods exercised their options which resulted in huge financial loss to them. Particularly the employees in the categories of Internal Selections are the worst affected. The revised option allowed in the earlier wage revision is absent in settlement on The request of the unions to grant one time revised option as a special case is still pending. The same has to be settled before implementing the new wage revision. In the thermal station settlement on the promotions of RWE staff, it was decided not to count the state cadre posts of Technical Assistants and Tester Chemical for the cadre strength in the proposal. Contrary to the policy decision, the posts of Technical Assistants are still made as a point of dispute by the local administrations. The posts of Technical Assistants in the respective Thermal Stations should not be reduced or diverted and the existing strength should be maintained without any deviation. The 110 KV 55 operator posts are earmarked for Junior Engineer Grade-II / Electrical. These posts are not filled up due to administrative reasons. Now the posts of 110 KV 55 in WEDC of Tirunelveli and Udumalpet are proposed for man power outsourcing. We strongly object for the outsourcing proposal and request to drop the same with immediate effect and to fill up all the vacant posts of Junior Engineer Grade-II and Technical Assistants in all Sub-stations immediately.
