The All India Centre has decided that, BSNLEU Flag should be hoisted in all the places, to mark the holding of 10th All India Conference at Guwahati from 2nd to 4th April, 2022. Similarly, gate meetings should be organised for mobilising the employees for the General Strike, to be held on 28th & 29th March, 2022. The All India Centre has now changed the date of these programmes. Accordingly, the Flag hoisting and gate meetings should be organised on 22.03.2022.

For the two day General Strike, to be held on 28th & 29th March, 2022, the CHQ has printed 6,000 pamphlets in English and 36,000 pamphlets in Hindi. These pamphlets are already despatched from the CHQ and have already reached the district unions. The All India Centre met today the 05.03.2022, has decided that a week long “meet the employees programme” should be organised w.e.f. 08.03.2022. The pamphlets should be distributed to the employees during this programme. Further, each and every employee has to be explained, why they should join the strike. The non-Hindi speaking circle unions are requested to translate the strike pamphlet into regional languages, print and distribute to the employees. The CHQ calls on the circle and district unions to organise the “meet the employees programme” effectively.
The 10th All India Conference of BSNLEU starts at Guwahati on 02nd April, 2022. In this connection, the All India Centre meeting held today the 05.03.2022, has called on the circle and district unions to hoist the BSNLEU Flag in all places on 25.03.2022, to highlight the holding of the 10th All India Conference of BSNLEU. Further, gate meetings should be organised on that day and the demands of the General Strike should be explained to the employees.

The first General Strike, held on 19th January, 1982, was a manifestation of worker-peasant unity. The strike raised the demands of the agricultural workers and peasants also, together with the demands of the workers. 10 comrades were killed in that strike, among whom, many were agricultural workers. In our country, the number of agricultural workers is very big. The unity of the industrial workers and agricultural workers will be a very powerful weapon to fight against the exploitations of the capitalists class and the oppressions of the government. The All India Centre of BSNLEU, while deciding to observe the 40th anniversary of the first General Strike, also decided to collect Rs.5/- each from members and well-wishers.

We have to organise the Twitter campaign powerfully, so that it will create an impact with the government. All the circle and district secretaries of BSNLEU are requested to ensure that maximum number of comrades from BSNLEU participate in this twitter program. Necessary ground work may please be started immediately.

The PGM(Estt.) assured that the endorsement will be issued shortly.
The SNEA is conducting relay hunger strike at the Corporate Office (at Eastern Court), demanding settlement of the genuine demands of the Executives. Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS, met the leaders on relay hunger strike today and expressed his solidarity.

The renewal of the Group Term Insurance Scheme (GTI) of the Non-Executives, became due in February, 2022. For this, the premium should have been deducted in the salary for the month of February, 2022. BSNLEU took up this issue with the Corporate Office for taking necessary action. Based on this, the Corporate Office took action, for the submission of option by the Non-Executives. However, the CHQ of BSNLEU received reports that, the premium amount was not deducted from the February salary of the employees. This issue was discussed by Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS, with Shri Saurabh Tyagi, PGM(Estt.), BSNL CO. The PGM(Estt.) told the General Secretary that, the Management has already paid the premium amount on behalf of all the employees who have submitted option. This has been done to ensure that, the GTI policy does not get lapsed. This amount will be deducted from the salary of the employees.
