Respected Madam,
I grab this opportunity of wishing you and your family, friends and
team members at the Union Government a very Happy Navratris.
I am really happy for my permanent colleagues in LIC of India, who
have got a Puja gift in the form of an acceptable wage revision, now
sent to the Union Government for approval.
But, I would like to request my organisation through the present
Government of India, that please do not ignore us and reject our plea
for equal wages and Right to work till age 60 as contractual employees
in LIC, if the management is so adamant to not absorb us.
Through an RTI Application, I had got hold of extracts of the board
meeting and the notes placed at the board meeting by ED (Personnel)
that led to our recruitment. Both these documents are attached
herewith.
The note clearly states that we are in the AO / Branch Manager cadre
as is clearly and ours is a purely Marketing Assignment and that too
in specialised channels of Direct Marketing, Bancassurance & Alternate
Channel, P & GS & CLIA channels, requiring a special skillset and it
is due to the organisation's lack of quality manpower and so the need
to recruit laterally people with previous work experience and there
may be the option to absorb them.
We all have successfully completed five years in LIC. Most of the SMEs
are currently working for a pittance, without any increment since
joining as is evident by the salary component letter attached
herewith.
We had been recruited at a fixed annual CTC of Rs. 4.20 Lacs, i.e.
35000/- per month, inclusive of Employee's contribution & Gratuity.
There also exists the opportunity to earn sales incentive with an
upper cap of Rs. 180000/- per annum.
The variable pay component is earned subject to achievement of certain
sales target, which are really stringent, may be termed as impractical
and harsh, seeing the variable pay earning figures of us, Sr.
Marketing Executives (SMEs), over the last 5 financial years. Linking
of annual increment to percentage of variable pay earned has also not
helped us. Very few people amongst us have got increments.
This variable pay earned by each surviving SME can readily be demanded
from the Management. You can also collect the circulars related to
variable pay earning. And also if you demand the sales achievement of
permanent marketing officials along these lines/parameters in the
corresponding period of F.Y. 2010-11 to F. Y. 2014-15, you will
yourself have a correct idea of how LIC has been cruel and prejudiced
to this set of 45 odd surviving species, called Sr. Marketing
Executives.
Thus, LIC has got hold of a low cost workforce using its highly
unequal bargaining power, who are being used to run and run for their
survival. I don't know whether this tantamounts to exploitation or
not.
It would not be out of context to share that we had approached the
Hon'ble State Finance Minister, Govt. of Maharashtra, Shri Sudhir
Mungantiar jee, in May, 2015. He recommended our issues to be
considered favourably to Hon'ble Union Finance Minister, Shri Arun
Kumar Jaitley jee. His recommendation is also attached herewith.
But, since we could not get relief from an adamant management, we
approached the public grievance portal. And the accompanying letter to
our Hon'ble PM, Shri Narendra D. Modi jee is also attached, wherein I
have raised certain basic issues about can a State shun its role of a
Model Employer and carry on such conduct.
OUR PLEA:
We are in our 6th year as BM on contract.
So, our fixed wages should be in the pay scale of:
Basic pay for AO
Existing: 23120-840(7)-29000-910(6)-34460
Proposed: 43900-1600(7)-55100-1735(6)-65510
Our revised basic should be: Rs. 51900/-, with five increments of
1600/- per annum.
Along with other allowances like DA, HRA, CCA, TRANSPORT ALLOWANCE,
CASH MEDICAL ETC. as spelt out on page 1 of the union offer, also
attached herewith.
That too with retrospective effect.
I believe it is your office that can make LIC management see reason
and change its attitude and mindset towards us. It is not our fault
that we have been recruited laterally and the Class I officers body
might not have liked this decision. And our suffering continues
unabatedly.
Ideally, you should call both of us, the SMEs and the LIC management
to your office and solve these issues for once and all. We are proud
citizens of the world's largest democracy and a Democracy's basic
principle is "Government of the people, by the people, for the
people".
And for this act of yours, I shall ever remain grateful.
Thanks with Regards,
Rajesh Kumar Singh
Sr. Marketing Executive
LIC of India,
SR. no.:352570
