indian politicians and babusBy: abalkiah | Sunday , 1 Feb '09 21:26:26 PM Reply | Forward If the demands and the strike of the oilmen are genuine, then the Almighty shall do the justice. Truth shall prevail and the culprits who damaged the very image of the oilmen would find their punishment from the Almighty, if not from this incompetent govt. (politicians and babus). The oilmen's hearts have been very much inflicted by this recent incident and unjustified actions on the part of the govt.

Mislead by Elect.Media-Zee/StarBy: SK Singh | Monday , 12 Jan '09 8:51:22 AM Reply | Forward Oil Sector strike was badly reported as one side forgetting the basic journalisim.The views and griveances of the officers is not aired in the right perspective.The marketing of an entry level officer getting 1.3 Lacs per month by the media/Govt is should be analysed.Even the CTC at entry level will not end up to the misled figures. Why the CTC of the beurocrats not evaluated.Why comparision of Technocrats being shown with Military jawans and officers.Both the ends have different roles and different structure,responsibilities and working conditions and one is in open market economics with subsidy burdens and other is cost to exchequer for a important role. The oil sector contribute 65% of GDP to the nation.There are multifacet issues involved beside salary hike to a level where there is no further poaching.The oil sector faught for existence of PSU in the country.PSU played and still playing very important role in walks of life of the Indian citizens.These are the backbone of country

Killing of Democracy by PoliticsBy: SK Singh | Monday , 12 Jan '09 8:34:47 AM Reply | Forward PSU Pay revision is due since past 12 years.Justice JM Rao recommendation was acceptable with removal of irritants and inequalities involved in it as well greation of new categories.The report opened new avenues for PSU motivation as well autonomy.The discussion,presentation,followups,notices by OSOA led to no action on the ailing elephant govt.DPE took the chance of Oil Sector to improve pay package of class B,C,D PSU and gained sympathy where as the deserving Miniratna and navratna were left strangled on special dispensation and higher status via improvements in the recommendation.The strike notices kept on differed four times but a last resort left unfortunate decision was the way to screem loud.The way the strike was administered was a casual affair and was allowed to built to a level of crushing and gain public sympathy in the time of elections.Even it is heard the dealing office has distributed SWEETS on the brutal crash like tinamen square where DEMOCRACY was Killed.

OIL sector strikeBy: Sivasubramaniam | Monday , 12 Jan '09 8:10:02 AM Reply | Forward The media was one sided. Whether any press person asked about the demands of PSU oil sector officers? They have been asking for genuine pay revision for the last two years which was denied by Govt / Ploiticians

Who is DeshdrohiBy: sandeep | Sunday , 11 Jan '09 16:38:54 PM Reply | Forward All we are disheartened and discouraged by the attitude of the government towards striking Oil PSU officers. Government can keep terrorists many years in jail and feed them and let them to attack us. Our illiterate politicians enjoy all the privileges and can play with the nation in whatever way they want and enjoy from the money paid by the innocent tax payers. Our burocrats (IASs) are never asked for any debacle in this country and no responsibilities are fixed on them. Most destroying was the biased attitude of media which is fourth strongest pillar of democracy and we had high regards for them. But in ours case they have played a role of puppet of government and private players. Media Channels like Zee News termed striking offices as DESHDROHI, GADDAR and alleged that we sit in air conditioned rooms and do nothing. Everybody knows that Oil and gas are not produced in AC rooms.

This type of hardship will demoralise to empolyees. PSU employees asking for pay revision after eleven years, Govt.is aware with since last one year. our inteligent empoyees are leaving PSU only becasue of better pay scales

psu pay revision By: mayank | Sunday , 11 Jan '09 12:14:00 PM Reply | Forward Don't you think Media coverage is one-sided? Pay or revision, more is the public fury and shameless govt actions for vote bank poloiticsThe coverage of Oil PSU strike was totally from the side of Government. 1) Govt's claim that "Junior level officer of an Oil PSU gets 1 lakh minimum" was not verified by Media and repeated verbatim. 2) Did any media channel talked about "why govt wakes only when the public is crying hoarse. There were 4 strike calls by Oil PSUs in last 1 year, has govt took any concrete measures to fulfill it's promises to OIL PSU Association?"3) When it comes to these Leaders

Govt/Media/Oil SectorBy: V Mathur | Sunday , 11 Jan '09 11:49:28 AM Reply | Forward The crux is COS(bureacrats ) undoing the Justice Rao committee report for PSU by which the Navratna PSUs were most affected and of which Oil PSU are a major part. The Cabinet sets a committee for PSU wages which gives it recommendation. The same is examined by Committee of Secretaries of GOI. The report is diluted and accepted by Cabinet in toto. Then wht was the purpose of setting the Rao committee when its report was not to be accepted. The COS was to examine it in light of PSUs wanting some clarification on its interpretation and anamolies. The Great Free India Media has not gone into this and given only one side of the story. Hopefully the committee of Ministers headed by Honourable Sh Chidambaram will look into it in true and transparent view without being influenced by either side. The strike notices were served but it is portrayed as if strike was without discussion and Govt was unaware about it. The strike was already deferred post Mumbai attack by oil sector.
