PTCL Public Relations Executive Vice-President Ali Qadir Gilani said on Saturday that the package offered by the management of the organisation to its employees has no example in the history of country either in the public or private sector. Speaking at a PTV programme, he said there was an element of misunderstanding on part of the employees because they were not aware of the decisions made during union-management meetings.
When they learnt the real facts, they returned to their jobs happily, he added.
Ali Qadir Gilani said the dynamic increase in salaries, leave encashment, establishment of residential colonies, health and education facilities for the entire family members of the employees are some revolutionary steps, which will bring visible change in their lifestyle.
To a question, he said the new management of the organisation is bound to abide by the agreements reached between the management and employees' representatives.
He said the activities of the CBA union were restricted by the authority concerned following internal litigation between the groups, and hoped that the matter would be settled in next few months.
When a CBA union becomes functional in the organisation, the relations between the employees and the management would, of course, improve, and the matters would be settled amicably through discussions.
He said the new management would be in dire need of professional and skilled staff so that there is no question of any job insecurity to employees in the new situation.
To another question, Ali Qadir Gilani said, the professional workforce get three times more wages in the private sector if compared with the public sector employees.
He said the PTCL will, of course, grow further in the environment of competition after privatisation, and its employees can even hope for much better perks in the future.
He urged the PTCL employees to work with more labour and skill in the new conditions and they will benefit a lot in return.
Ali Qadir Gilani said five million connections, which the organisation was able to deliver during the past six decades, are expected to grow double in the next three years.
In such a situation, the organisation will need more staff to ensure appropriate service, he added.
Responding to another question, he said the employees would be officially informed about the new perks and package soon after the privatisation date.
