The postal employees throughout the country went on strike today, opposing corporatisation / privatisation of the postal services.  BSNLEU had given call for organizing demonstrations in BSNL, in solidarity with the striking postal employees.  CHQ heartily congratulates the circle and district unions which have organised the solidarity demonstrations.

All sections of the people, including workers, peasants, agricultural workers are seriously affected by the policies being adopted by the Modi government. While aggressively implementing it’s privatisation policies, the government is snatching away the basic trade union rights, by introducing 4 new Labour Codes. Similarly, the assurance given by the government regarding Minimum Support Price (MSP), during the farmers struggle is not implemented so far.  New methods of exploitations are being implemented which rob the livelihood of the entire citizens. Under these circumstances, a worker-peasant convention is being organised at Talkatora stadium, in New Delhi on 05.09.2022. This convention is being organised by CITU, the All India Kisan Sabha(AIKS) and the All India Agricultural Workers Union (AIAWU). The All India Centre meeting of BSNLEU has decided to participate in this convention. Hence, circle unions adjacent to Delhi like Haryana, UP (West), Rajasthan, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and UP (East) are requested to bring comrades for this Convention.

Only the anti-BSNL and pro-private steps taken by the government is responsible for the downfall of BSNL. However, in the Heads of circle conference, held in the BSNL Corporate Office on 04.08.2022, Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw, Hon’ble Minister of Communications, has held the employees responsible for the downfall BSNL. This has been widely reported in the media, which has sent a wrong message about BSNL employees. In view of this, BSNLEU has written a letter to the Hon’ble Minister of Communications, wherein the facts and figures have been explained.

The Corporate Office has issued letter today, giving direction to  all the Chief General Managers, for the sanctioning of special casual leave for BSNLEU’s CEC meeting to be held on 25.08.2022 and the Extended CEC meeting to be held on 26.08.2022 and 27.08.2022. According to this letter, the circle secretaries and CHQ office bearers will be sanctioned Special Casual Leave for attending both the CEC and Extended CEC meetings. The district secretaries will be sanctioned Special Casual Leave for attending the Extended CEC meeting to be held on 26.08.2022 and 27.08.2022.

The All India Centre of BSNLEU, in it’s online meeting held yesterday, has decided to organise a “Meet the Employees” programme from 01st to 07th September, 2022. During this “Meet the Employees” programme, campaign will be conducted against the National Monetisation Pipeline, disinvestment and privatisation policies of the government. CHQ will prepare a pamphlet, which has to be translated and printed in the regional languages. This pamphlet has to be distributed among the employees during the “Meet the Members” campaign. All the circle and district unions are requested to take effective steps to successfully organise this programme.

The Co-ordination Committee (CoC) of BSNLEU, AIBDPA and BSNL CCWF had already given call to organise a Human Chain programme, against the National Monetisation Pipeline, disinvestment  and privatisation policies of the government. However, this programme had to be postponed under unavoidable circumstance. Now, the Co-ordination Committee has decided to organise this Human Chain programme on 14.09.2022. This programme should be organised in places where the general public gather. All the circle and district secretaries of BSNLEU are requested to successfully organise this Human Chain programme, in coordination with the AIBDPA and BSNL CCWF.

The CHQ of BSNLEU has already informed that, the postal employees are going on a one day strike on 10.08.2022, against the corporatisation of the Postal services.  This corporatisation will ultimately lead to the privatisation of the Postal services, which in turn will seriously impact the common people of this country. The All India Centre of BSNLEU has decided to organise lunch hour solidarity demonstrations on 10.08.2022, opposing the corporatisation / privatisation of the Postal services and extending solidarity and support to the fighting Postal employees. All the circle and district unions are requested to organise the solidarity demonstrations effectively.

The Postal Joint Council of Action (PJCA), including NFPE and FNPO, has given call for one day strike, to be organised on 10.08.2022. This strike is against the proposal of the government to convert the Postal department into a corporation. Undoubtedly, the intended corporatisation of the Postal department, will ultimately lead to the privatisation of the Postal services. BSNLEU strongly condemns the moves of the government to corporatise the Postal department. BSNLEU extends it’s fullest support and solidarity for the Postal strike.
