Hindi translation of "Extend mobile hand set facility to the Non-Executives - do not treat the Non-Executives with step- motherly attitude - BSNLEU writes letter to the CMD BSNL."

*नोन एक्ज़ीक्यूटिव्स को मोबाइल हैंडसेट सुविधा प्रदान करें - नोन एक्ज़ीक्यूटिव्स के साथ सौतेला व्यवहार न करें- BSNLEU ने सीएमडी बीएसएनएल को लिखा पत्र।*

बीएसएनएल प्रबंधन नोन एक्ज़ीक्यूटिव्स की हर मांग को कंपनी के "अत्यंत वित्तीय संकट" का हवाला देकर खारिज कर देता है। वहीं प्रबंधन एक्ज़ीक्यूटिव्स की मांगों पर उदारतापूर्वक विचार करने में संकोच नहीं करता। कंपनी का "अत्यंत वित्तीय संकट" भी प्रबंधन के लिए एक्ज़ीक्यूटिव्स की मांगों को पूरा करने में आड़े नहीं आता। निश्चित रूप से यह बीएसएनएल प्रबंधन नोन एक्ज़ीक्यूटिव्स के साथ सौतेला व्यवहार कर रहा है। कुछ दिन पहले ही कॉर्पोरेट कार्यालय ने आदेश जारी कर एक्ज़ीक्यूटिव्स द्वारा मोबाइल हैंडसेट खरीदने पर प्रतिपूर्ति राशि में भारी वृद्धि की है। नोन एक्ज़ीक्यूटिव्स खासकर जेई, जेटीओ के समान ही कार्य कर रहे हैं। इसके अलावा, सीनियर टीओए, टीटी और एटीटी भी मार्केटिंग गतिविधियों में मोबाइल फोन का बड़े पैमाने पर उपयोग करते हैं। सभी नोन एक्ज़ीक्यूटिव्स अपने वरिष्ठ अधिकारियों द्वारा प्रभावी संचार के लिए चलाए जा रहे व्हाट्सएप ग्रुप में शामिल हैं। हालांकि, प्रबंधन ने नोन एक्ज़ीक्यूटिव्स को मोबाइल हैंडसेट उपलब्ध कराने की सुविधा नहीं दी है। इसलिए, BSNLEU ने आज सीएमडी बीएसएनएल को पत्र लिखकर मांग की है कि नोन एक्ज़ीक्यूटिव्स को भी मोबाइल हैंडसेट की लागत की प्रतिपूर्ति की सुविधा दी जानी चाहिए।

1.8 crore customers left BSNL in one year - BSNLEU once again writes to the Hon'ble Minister of Communications demanding immediate intervention.

The commissioning of BSNL's 4G network is getting horribly delayed. As a result of this, customers are leaving BSNL massively. BSNLEU is continuously writing letters to the Hon'ble Minister of Communications and to the BSNL Management, highlighting the massive exodus of customers from BSNL, due to the non-availability of 4G / 5G service. BSNLEU had already requested the government to permit BSNL to utilise Vodafone Idea's network temporarily, for providing 4G service to it's customers. However, it is unfortunate that, the government has not taken any action. On 16-04-2024, BSNLEU has organised nationwide demonstrations, demanding government's immediate intervention on this matter. The New Indian Express dated 04-05-2024 has reported that, totally 1.8 crore customers have left BSNL in the financial year ended March, 2024. The newspaper report also says that, 23 lakh customers have left BSNL in the month of March, 2024 alone. Under this circumstance, BSNLEU has once again written letter to Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw, Hon'ble Minister of Communications today, demanding the prompt intervention of the government, to enable BSNL to immediately provide 4G service to it's customers. Copy of the letter is enclosed for the information of our comrades.

Hindi translation of "1.8 crore customers left BSNL in one year - BSNLEU once again writes to the Hon'ble Minister of Communications demanding immediate intervention."

एक साल में 1.8 करोड़ ग्राहकों ने बीएसएनएल छोड़ा - बीएसएनएलईयू ने एकबार फिर माननीय संचार मंत्री को पत्र लिखकर तुरंत हस्तक्षेप की मांग की है।

बीएसएनएल के 4जी नेटवर्क के चालू होने में काफी देरी हो रही है। इसके परिणामस्वरूप बड़े पैमाने पर ग्राहक बीएसएनएल छोड़ रहे हैं। बीएसएनएलईयू माननीय संचार मंत्री और बीएसएनएल प्रबंधन को लगातार पत्र लिख रहा है, जिसमें 4जी/5जी सेवा की अनुपलब्धता के कारण बीएसएनएल से ग्राहकों के बड़े पैमाने पर  ग्राहक बीएसएनएल छोड़ रहे हैं.  बीएसएनएलईयू ने पहले ही सरकार से अनुरोध किया था कि वह अपने ग्राहकों को 4जी सेवा प्रदान करने के लिए बीएसएनएल को अस्थायी रूप से वोडाफोन आइडिया के नेटवर्क का उपयोग करने की अनुमति दे।  हालाँकि, यह दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण है कि, सरकार ने कोई कार्रवाई नहीं की है। बीएसएनएलईयू ने इस मामले पर सरकार से तुरंत हस्तक्षेप की मांग करते हुए 16-04-2024 को   देशव्यापी प्रदर्शन का आयोजन किया है। न्यू इंडियन एक्सप्रेस दिनांक 04-05-2024 ने रिपोर्ट दी है कि, मार्च, 2024 को समाप्त वित्तीय वर्ष में कुल 1.8 करोड़ ग्राहकों ने बीएसएनएल छोड़ दिया है। अखबार की रिपोर्ट यह भी कहती है कि, मार्च, 2024 के महीने में 23 लाख ग्राहकों ने बीएसएनएल छोड़ दिया है। इस परिस्थिति में, बीएसएनएलईयू ने आज एक बार फिर माननीय संचार मंत्री श्री अश्विनी वैष्णव को पत्र लिखकर सरकार से शीघ्र हस्तक्षेप की मांग की है, ताकि बीएसएनएल अपने ग्राहकों को तुरंत 4जी सेवा प्रदान कर सके। हमारे साथियों की जानकारी के लिए पत्र की प्रति संलग्न है।

Observe this year's May Day with revolutionary fervour.

The CHQ of BSNLEU calls upon the circle and district unions to observe this year’s May Day by hoisting the Union flag, participating in rallies and organising seminars and special meetings. We shall pay homage to the May Day martyrs, who laid down their lives in Chicago in 1886, fighting to achieve the demand of 8 hours’ work, 8 hours' recreation and 8 hours' sleep. On one side, the capitalists class is trying to increase the working hours. It is in this background that, Shri Narayana Murthy, co-founder of the Infosys, has told that the Indian youth should work for 70 hours a week. On the other side, the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU), of which BSNLEU is an affiliate, has raised the demand for 35 hours’ work in a week. Militant struggles of the working class have taken place in the recent months in all the developed capitalist nations like the UK, Germany, France, the US, etc., on the demands of  wage increase and reducing the workload. All these issues need to be highlighted in our slogans, meetings, rallies, etc., to be organised in this year’s May Day. Circle and district unions of BSNLEU are requested to effectively organise this year’s May Day activities and send the reports and photos to the CHQ.

Non-payment of revised IDA rates w.e.f. 01.04.2024 – BSNLEU writes to the Secretary, Ministry of Labour.

As is known to all the employees, the revised rate of IDA has not been paid w.e.f. 01.04.2024. This is because, the Labour Bureau, which releases the All India Consumer Price Index (Industrial Workers) figures, has not released the same for the month of March, 2024. Hence, the DPE has not announced the revised IDA rates w.e.f. 01.04.2024. Such a delay has never been witnessed before. In view of this, BSNLEU has written a letter to the Secretary, Ministry of Labour, today, demanding to immediately intervene in this matter and to take appropriate action.
