Renaming Of Chargeman & JWM
  If  an Industrial Employees ( ITI & below ITI/Matriculate) can become Managers, like JWM,AWM &  even WM ( which post require minimum entry qualification management Degree i.e. BE/Degree in science/Arts/Commerce) through promotion channel (SS-SK-HS-MCM-CM-I-CM-II-AF-JWM-AWM-WM), then why a technical employee (SS-SK-HS-MCM) having qualification less than diploma but having more than 15 years qualifying service in such a giant  industrial establishment as OFB can’t  be designated as an Engineer. It is not justified that only those who are having certificate of Diploma/Degree can be called an Engineer. It is nothing but to demoralize the people by designating as Supervisor, Chargeman, and Foreman, which is given by British.
  It is also requested that please keep our association suggestions previously regarding renaming of Chargeman & JWM, before finalizing the matter.
