No Pay Revision to BSNL employees due to the financial crisis of the Company - Shri Jyotiraditya Scindia, Hon'ble Minister, says.

BSNLEU is taking all out efforts to settle the Wage Revision issue and thereby find a solution to the burning problem of Stagnation. Even on 16th February of this year, BSNLEU organised a successful strike throughout the country, focussing Wage Revision as the main issue. However still the issue could not be settled. Mischievous elements continue to blame BSNLEU for the non-settlement of Wage Revision issue. Under these circumstances, in a reply given to Shri M.Shanmugam, Hon'ble Member of the Rajya Sabha, Shri Jyotiraditya Scindia,  Hon'ble Minister for Communications, has stated why the Pay Revision issue of BSNL employees is not settled. In his written reply given to the Hon'ble MP, the Hon'ble Minister has stated that, due to the present financial condition of BSNL, the demand for Pay Revision of the employees, as per the recommendations of the 3rd PRC, is not accepted by the Government. Further, the Hon'ble Minister has also stated that, the Pension Revision of the retired employees could not be settled due to the non-settlement of Pay Revision of the working employees. This is a clear cut reply of the Hon'ble Minister of Communication regarding the Pay Revision of BSNL employees. Despite many strikes and other countrywide agitations organised by the Union, the government is refusing to accept the demand of Wage Revision, citing the financial crisis of the Company. Still, BSNLEU is making its best efforts together with other unions and associations, to somehow settle the demand of Wage Revision. This must be appreciated by the employees and they should extend their fullest participation in all the programmes called on by the Union. Copy of the letter of the Hon'ble Minister of Communications is enclosed for the information of all the comrades.
