माननीय केरल उच्च न्यायालय द्वारा बीएसएनएल के गैर अधिकारियों को आईडीए के भुगतान पर आदेश जारी होने के बाद बीएसएनएल प्रबंधन ने डीओटी के सचिव को पत्र लिखकर माननीय केरल उच्च न्यायालय के आदेश को लागू करने के लिए अनुमोदन की मांग की है। इससे पहले डीपीई ने उचित कार्रवाई करने के निर्देश के साथ माननीय केरल उच्च न्यायालय के आदेश को डीओटी के पास भेज दिया है, क्योंकि डीओटी बीएसएनएल के लिए प्रशासनिक मंत्रालय है। हालांकि दूरी पर अभी तक इस पर कोई कार्रवाई नहीं की है। इसे देखते हुए बीएसएनएलईयू ने डीओटी के सचिव को पत्र लिखकर माननीय केरल हाईकोर्ट के आदेश को लागू करने के लिए बीएसएनएल के लिए आवश्यक मंजूरी देने की मांग की है।

BSNLEU is glad that salary for March is paid yesterday. This is the first time in one year, that the salary is paid within one week of the due date. We heartily thank Shri P.K Purwar, CMD BSNL, for this. At the same time, we wish to recollect the long struggle waged by BSNLEU to get salary on time. In the past one year, BSNLEU has written 12 letters, demanding on time salary payment. Not only that, almost every month, BSNLEU has organised demonstrations for this. One dharna was organised on 26-06-2020. One hunger strike was organised on 18-02-2021. For the past more than one year, the leaders and members of BSNLEU throughout the country, have sincerely implemented the calls of the CHQ, to get on time salary payment. All these struggles have yielded result now. At this moment, the CHQ of BSNLEU heartily thanks and congratulates all of them.

The Chennai CEC meeting had reviewed the formation and functioning of Local Councils. The meeting has decided that, in districts where sufficient members are not there to form the local council, then the Local Council can be formed at the Business Area level.
The Chennai CEC meeting has reviewed the functioning of the district unions. It was brought to the notice of the CEC meeting that, sufficient members are not there in some districts, to run the district union. The CEC meeting has decided that, in such cases, the district union can be merged with the nearby district union.
Several hundreds of Non-Executives, who were recruited and sent for training by the DoT, but were appointed after the formation of BSNL, are being treated as BSNL recruiters. They are not issued with Presidential Orders. Hence, they are not entitled for government pension and GPF. Several of these affected employees have approached the court. Various CATs and the High Courts of Kerala and Rajasthan have given judgements that, these officials should be treated as DoT recruitees. However, the BSNL Management has appealed against these judgements in the Supreme Court. The case is lingering on for several years. BSNLEU is continuously insisting upon the BSNL Management to take steps for the early disposal of this case. In the meeting held with Shri Arvind Vadnerkar, Director (HR), on 30th March, 2021, Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS, once again discussed this issue. He also discussed this issue with the Sr. GM (SR) and DGM, Legal, NTR circle. BSNL Management has to advise it’s Advocate in the Supreme Court, to take steps for the early completion of the hearing of this case. BSNLEU will further pursue this case actively, for an early settlement.
