After a long deliberation a Resolution alongwith Action Plan was adopted on 20th Sept. 2014 which is as follows:

                                               ++++++++++++++ 

21st Sept 2014 

RESOLUTION

Considering the aforesaid facts the two day meeting of the FORSE Apex Council has decided to request the Union Minister of Steel to listen to our problems and grievances arising out of the inaction by SAIL and advise SAIL Management

a)      To develop real concern for the retired employees and to look after their welfare as part of corporate social responsibility.

b)     To recognize FORSE as a representative Body of Retirees of SAIL and formally involve FORSE representatives for swift and appropriate policy making decisions including pension, gratuity, mediclaim, etc.

c)      To create a separate section/ department in SAIL Corporate Office and also the Units to help the Retirees as and when needed.

d)     To organize SAIL- FORSE meetings to be held at least twice in a year or earlier if the situation so warrants. (ONGC follows this practice of regular meetings with their retirees representatives.)

e)      To formulate schemes for monetary help to the employees in form of monthly pension and ex-gratia payment periodically to mitigate their urgent needs as in BHEL, IOC etc.

f)       To accept and enforce the guiding principle of the Healthcare including mediclaim insurance “that it is a matter of life and death leaving no chance for a repeat performance. So the benefit of doubt should always be in favour of the patient and there can be no room for laxity of any kind or slow action at any time at either end of the network of SAIL, Insurance Co., the TPA and the patient.”

g)      To consider the Healthcare of the retirees to be at par with those for the current employees. However, if SAIL decides to continue with the present arrangement of healthcare through mediclaim insurance it must develop a formula for incorporation of annual price rise in healthcare.

h)     To pay total subscription for renewal of mediclaim membership, to make permanent I-card by SAIL, to complete negotiations and settling of terms and conditions with Insurance Co. & the TPA by Oct end and to issue Guidebook etc by December-end.

i)        Renewal of lapsed mediclaim: Anytime & everytime with a nominal charge.

j)        To increase OPD coverage of Rs.20,000/-per annum jointly in respect of retired employee and spouse on floater basis.

k)      To fix Rs. 4 lacs as upper limit of reimbursement for each member for hospitalization and for cashless treatment under floating (combining) facilities (existing in RINL) and withdrawal of all cappings.

l)        To provide some space at centrally located place for the units to FORSE/Local affiliated association for their operation and for day to day interaction, counseling and servicing to their members.

m)   To provide/extend infrastructural facilities to retirees for social function like marriage etc. on the same terms and conditions applicable to the current employees in the SAIL Plant/ Unit Townships

The Apex Council has also decided to launch a non-violent agitational action plan, if SAIL/ GOI do not initiate positive action in formal meetings with FORSE, which will be as follows.

1.     As a first step the members of the respective Member Associations shall sit on Dharna in front of the Plant/ Unit Offices for half a day and hand over representation to the Chief Executive of the concerned Plant/ Unit. This may be accompanied by hunger strike of limited or long term type. Members of respective unit association may also fix posters etc at the important places to draw attention and ventilating their grievances. 

2.      As a second step the members of the respective Member Associations will sit on Dharna in front of the respective Governor House and present to him the Memorandum of our demands. This may be accompanied by hunger strike of limited or long term type.

3.      Next meeting of the Apex Council to be held in about 6 months’ time will consider the progress and decide on the next step of Action to be taken which may include hunger strike, demonstration and dharna, march in front of the Ministry’s Office in Delhi etc.

In a Press Conference held on 21st Sept.2014 after the meeting the above RESOLUTION was released to the Press alongwith the following Press Release in English and Hindi.

PRESS RELEASE

21.09.2014

The Apex Council of the Federation of Retired SAIL Employees (FORSE) had a two-day meeting on 20^th and 21^st September 2014 in Pragati Bhawan at Bhilai. The meeting was presided over by Dr. V. N. Sharma, the Chairman of the Federation. Sri Saroj Ranjan Das, the President of the Bhilai Ex-Officers Association and principal organizer of the event welcomed the Council members representing various Member Associations from the far and wide of the country. Sri Abhay Kumar Das, the General Secretary presented an Action Taken Report (ATR) on organizational matters after the last meeting held on March 1-2. 2014 at Rourkela.

The Chairman began with the thanks giving to the organisers of the meeting and support given by BSP-OA. He expressed his deep gratitude to CEO, ED (P & A) and other senior officers and employees of BSP who made it possible to have a fruitful meeting at Bhilai.

It was followed by briefing the Council on developments in last 5 years (ref. http://saileea.blogspot.in), upto the recent general election, as a result of our correspondence with SAIL, number of departments and officials of the Govt of India and at last with the President of India, on the issues related to post retirement benefits to the pre-2007 numbering, as of now, about 35000 and post-01.01.2007 retirees numbering just above 70000. The emphasis of the approach was to request SAIL to formulate and implement schemes for various types of relief to the Retirees and their spouse in line with the Govt. advice given through DPE OMs for ‘creation of a corpus for retired employees of SAIL with 1.5% of the PBT’ which is already lagging behind by 5 years. It is interesting to note that SAIL never responded to our direct communication, except through RTI. The two responses received recently from SAIL came only through the office of the President of India. It is demeaning for a Maharatna like SAIL to treat the retirees in this manner. But even in these responses SAIL continued to ignore the advice and, in turn, dumped the idea of welfare of the early retirees. Since the corpus is to be created from SAIL’s Profit, no budgetary support is required.  Also as these pioneer retirees are 70 and 80 years old, the corpus will not be required perennially. It must not be forgotten that the strong foundation laid by these pioneers in the formative years (1950s/60s) and the commitment, hard work and contributions made by these retirees under very hard times contributed to make SAIL the pride of the nation as Maharatna today.  Also that SAIL has attained this stage only by virtue of its consistent financial strength and its contribution to development of the country in various aspects.

Action taken on Pension and mediclaim matters with SAIL, National Insurance Company and the TPA E-meditek all through these 9 months were also talked about. In the post-general election days three letters sent to the Prime Minister, one to the Finance Minister and 4 letters to the Union Minister of Steel and three letters to Chairman SAIL and similar letters to a dozen of Members of Parliament, in addition to numerous telephone calls, for help in this regard did not have encouraging results. In summing up of the issues before the Federation the history of the organized sector like SAIL does not warrant appreciation as it did not implement any pension scheme for those retired before 2007 and SAIL has not been impressed upon so far by the political masters to change their stance in favour of the retirees.

The Chairman reasoned out that the pre - 2007 retirees who are in their 70s and 80s had retired at a time when inflation was not a big menace and most of the banks paid a handsome rate of interest which were  in the range of 12% to 14%, some investments also brought 17-18% return. But times have changed. Now the rate of interest ranges between 9-9.5%. They are put to lot of hardship at twilight of their life due to lowering of income from investments on one side and astronomical increase in cost of living since they retired with meager sums and the increased expenditure on health care (beyond reimbursed amounts) due to old age ailments on the other side. SAIL should also get the blame for not providing Health care of any standard. In spite of the exponential price rise in medicines SAIL is sticking to the same Rs. 4000/- per member per year for 60-70 year old which was fixed 19 years ago in 1995 and Rs. 8000/- for 70+ year old members done recently.

Having regard to the facts explained in above paras the basic approach of FORSE is to appeal to the conscience of SAIL and the Govt. of India (i) to permit SAIL to transfer unclaimed money available with the PF Trusts of SAIL Plants and Units to the proposed corpus, (ii) transfer back 1 % of the dividend from SAIL to the corpus and (iii) to advise SAIL to raise the limit in the OMs of DPE from 1.5% to 3% and (iv) formulate better schemes for the pre-2007 retirees which should include a Healthcare programme for treating all the retirees at par with the working employees and 100 % coverage like Oil sector companies do for their Retired employees or a Mediclaim policy fully subscribed by SAIL (without sharing of the subscription by the Retired Employees). On the Govt. side FORSE demanded increase in the interest rate on Fixed Bank deposits for the retirees and action to enhance the facilities for Senior Citizens in Hospitals, transport, public utility services by incorporating newer policies.

In view of the fact that SAIL has cumulative Reserve/Cash Surplus of Rs.38536 crores as on 31^st March of FY 2013-14, the total contribution to exchequer till 2013-14 must be more than Rs. 120, 000 crores and the total of PBT from 1.1.2007 till 2013-14 is Rs. 52272 crores (including 1/4^th of 2006-07) creation of a good scheme is quite a feasible proposition. As it stands Finance is not a problem for SAIL as it has been earning profit for more than 10 years. Since the principle of the creation of corpus for pre-2007 retirees is accepted by the Government, no further approval of Parliament is required and it requires only an Administrative decision for time-bound implementation. In the light of such a strong financial position there is no visible and comprehendible reason for the overall out and out negative attitude and approach of SAIL with respect to the retirees and we strongly desire that the Government must advise SAIL suitably to act in favour of the retirees.

FORSE also strongly recommended to advise SAIL to utilise the services of the physically fit retirees as much as possible by giving them specific assignments on contractual basis. This can be done with the active help of the Federation (FORSE) or its Member Associations. In the light of the recent statement of the Union Minister of DoPT re-employing the retirees, with years of experience behind each one of them, becomes more relevant.

We would also like to put on record the contradiction that except the early retirees of industrial CPSEs, retirees of all other CPSEs such as LIC, Nationalised Banks, Government Insurance companies, BSNL, Railways etc are getting substantial pension besides benefits such as additional interests for bank retirees, free phone calls for BSNL retirees, free travel concessions for Railway retirees etc. The paradox is that these retirees of CPSEs were government controlled employees but not government employees for pension. They are public servants for all purposes except for Pension and post-retirement benefits. It is expected that the Govt would view the cause of these Very Senior Citizen Retirees (those retired before 2007) who are now 70 + with compassion and not by the rule-book alone which itself is doubtfully incorrect at many places.

He narrated in brief how the story related to the indoor treatment is much worse as the mediiclaim policy taken through an insurance company and operated through a Third Party Administrator (TPA) is extremely inefficient, yearly renewal of membership for the same members, without a standard procedure for settling the grievances. upto 6-8 months’ time taken for issuance of Mediclaim I-card and the information brochure, almost 6 months to a year for settlement of paid hospital Bills, patient being held by the hospital as a prisoner because of delayed payment clearance by the TPA, overruling of the specialist doctors of the hospital by the distant sitting doctors employed by the TPA. TPA withdrawing recognition of the Hospitals for cashless treatment at its own will without any information to the members has ended up with at least one suicide to our information by our member Asit Nandi (IISCO). He committed suicide on account of sheer financial inability to meet his medical expenses. The Federation intervened to help him but before he received the payment he died. Thousands of such of our colleagues- in- arms of yesteryears- must be silently suffering and finally vanishing. The Chairman further said that we are not begging but it should be obligatory on SAIL authorities to take care of the retirees on whose hard work the Company is a Maharatna today.

Chairman also showed his disgust with SAIL management for not initiating, preparing and implementing Pension schemes for the post-01.01.2007 retirees whereas its sister PSU-RINL-has got approved a scheme (with 10% of total salary of each employee as company contribution by it) by its Board. This is lying in the Ministry since July 2011 without any action; perhaps waiting for SAIL to clear a scheme. It may please be noted that most of other PSUs – BHEL, NTPC, NLC, Oil PSUs. etc- have already implemented. Out of sheer inefficiency and absence of strong will SAIL has shifted the date of implementing the pension scheme for this category of employees from 1^st January 2007 to 2012.

Chairman invited the attention of the members to a private bill introduced on National Minimum Pension (Guarantee) Bill, 2014 to cover pension of retirees of unorganised and private sector through which our voice-voice of FORSE- reverberated in the Lok Sabha. Hon’ble Sri Nishi Kant Dubey, BJP MP from Godda read out the major portion of our letter and successfully drew attention of the House and showed concern for the cause of the SAIL Retirees. It can be seen in  pp 397-8 in the link http://164.100.47.132/newdebate/16/2/08082014/5To6pm.pdf  It clearly indicates that the MPs and Ministers etc are also not aware of the fact that even the organised sector of the Government do not have any pension scheme for pioneer retirees of the organized sector like PSUs. He requested FORSE members to bring to the kind notice of the Honorable MPs of their area as it appears that MPs are aware of the plight of retirees of unorganized sector only but not aware of the same for pioneer retirees of PSUs which is owned by Government itself. He further made a fervent appeal to the Media to take action on the same lines to bring awareness on this issue of Senior citizens of the pioneering batches of SAIL employees.

सेल के रिटायर्ड अफसर करेंगे आंदोलन

Bhaskar News Network|Sep 22, 2014, 02:10AM IST

सेलके रिटायर्ड अफसर वर्षों से लंबित पेंशन मेडिक्लेम पॉलिसी का निराकरण नहीं होने से नाराज है। फेडरेशन आफ रिटायर्ड सेल इंप्लाइज (फोर्स) की दो दिवसीय बैठक में इन मुद्दों के साथ बैठक कर नए सिरे से अपना पक्ष रखने की निर्णय लिया गया। बावजूद मांगों का निराकरण नहीं होने पर आंदोलन की चेतावनी दी गई। 

फोर्स की दो दिवसीय काउंसिल मीटिंग शनिवार को प्रारंभ हो कर रविवार को समाप्त हुई। इसमें देश भर से संगठन के 16 प्रतिनिधियों ने भाग लिया। इसमें पिछले 5 वर्षों में फेडरेशन के कार्यों का विवरण दिया गया। जिसमें बताया गया कि 2007 के बाद सेल के रिटायर कर्मियों की संख्या करीब साढ़े सात हजार उसके पूर्व के रिटायर कर्मियों की संख्या करीब साढ़े तीन हजार है। इनके पेंशन स्कीम पर प्रबंधन अब तक निर्णय नहीं ले पाया है। 

सार्वजनिक क्षेत्र की कंपनियों में यह सुविधा लागू हो चुकी है। मिटिंग में फोर्स चेयरमेन वीएन शर्मा, एसके घोष, केके दास, अिचंत्य चौधरी, जार्ज ओम्मन, केजी मथई, बासव रजिय्या आदि मौजूद थे। बताया गया कि सेल के पास वित्तीय वर्ष 2013-14 को 38536 करोड़ रुपए रिजर्व है। सेल बीते 10 साल से लाभ अर्जित कर रहा है। अत: पेंशन के लिए धनराशि स्वीकृत करने में कोई समस्या नहीं आएगी। केवल समयबद्ध क्रियान्वयन के लिए प्रशासनिक निर्णय की आवश्यकता है। 

आंदोलन की योजना 

रविवारको बैठक समाप्त होने के पूर्व यह निर्णय लिया गया कि उनकी मांगों का निराकरण नहीं हुआ तो चरणबद्ध आंदोलन शुरू किया जाएगा। इसमें आधे दिन का धरना, भूख हड़ताल, राज्यपाल भवन के सामने ध
