BSNLEU discussed the issues of the contract workers with the CMD BSNL.

Com.Animesh Mitra, President and Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS, met shri P.K. Purwar, CMD BSNL, on 28.07.2021, and discussed about the problems of the contract workers. Com.Animesh Mitra, who is also the Secretary General of the BSNL CCWF (BSNL Casual Contract Workers Federation), submitted a memorandum on the problems of the contract workers. The views expressed by the President and the GS are also follows:-

 

1. The cluster based outsourcing system is a failure, since the expenditure has doubled and the disconnection of landlines and broadband lines are taking place massively, as per the data.
2. Hence, the Management should consider re-engagement of the contract workers, wherever they are available.
3. Wages of the contract workers is not paid for 12 to 15 months. Steps should be taken for the immediate payment of the wage arrears.

 

The CMD BSNL responded to the views of the leaders by stating that, the various parameters show that the efficiency of landline and broadband services have greatly improved after the outsourcing. 

 

He further stated that, steps would be taken to improve the deficiencies in the outsourcing system. The leaders have noted down the figures given by the CMD BSNL and told that, the same would be verified and thereafter the response of the Union would be given.
