United actions for the revival / strengthening of BSNL – GS, BSNLEU writes to the GS, AIGETOA, to put the record straight.

The unions and associations in BSNL are continuously fighting for the past two decades, to protect BSNL from the pro-private and anti-BSNL policies of the successive governments that came to power at the centre. Previously the Joint Forum, the umbrella organisation of the fighting unions and associations, spearheaded these struggles. Presently, the AUAB is spearheading these struggles. 

 

All the militant and major trade unions and associations are participating in these struggles. Only through these united struggles, BSNL has been safeguarded from disinvestment and privatisation and the Company still remains as a 100% government company. We are proud to say that only because of the united struggles, as well as the campaigns conducted among the general public, BSNL has been able to get 4G spectrum free of cost. When this being the situation, the AIGETOA, which has become the recognised association recently, has written to the General Secretaries of BSNLEU and NFTE, explaining about the need for united actions. Hence, BSNLEU has written to AIGETOA to give the true picture and to put the record straight.

BSNL should not be forced to procure 4G equipments from domestic vendors - says former top officers of the DoT and BSNL.

The government is creating roadblocks in BSNL’s 4G launching. It has cancelled BSNL’s 4G tender. BSNL is being told by the government to procure equipments from domestic vendors, through s System Integrator. 

 

Former top officials of the DoT and BSNL, including Shri R. Chandrashekhar, former DoT Secretary, have expressed concerns over the government’s direction that BSNL should procure 4G equipments from domestic vendors. They have stated that so far domestic vendors have not commissioned the core network of any telecom operator in the country. Forcing BSNL to do this experiment will increase the cost of the Company and it will face disadvantage in it's competition with other operators.

 

This intervention made by the former top officers of the DoT and BSNL vindicate the stand taken by BSNLEU and the AUAB on this matter.

Hindi translation of "Wage Negotiations for the Non-Executives to resume soon."

नॉन एग्जीक्यूटिव्ज के लिए वेतन वार्ता शीघ्र शुरू होगी..

BSNLEU द्वारा लगातार यह मांग की जाती रही है कि मैनेजमेंट द्वारा वेतन वार्ता (Wage Negotiation) शुरू की जाए, जो कि अधबीच में ही बंद हो चुकी थी। BSNLEU द्वारा यह उल्लेखित किया गया है कि, DoT द्वारा BSNL मैनेजमेंट को निर्देशित किया गया था कि वह मान्यता प्राप्त यूनियन्स के साथ एग्रीमेंट कर उनके (DoT के) अनुमोदन हेतु वापस भेजें। इसलिए, BSNLEU द्वारा यह भी फोकस किया जाता रहा है कि वेतन वार्ता में रुकावट, DoT के निर्देशों का उल्लंघन है। इसी आधार पर BSNLEU मांग करती रही है कि वेतन वार्ता पुनः शुरू की जाए। BSNLEU ने यह मुद्दा नेशनल कौंसिल की 39वीं मीटिंग में भी चर्चा हेतु शामिल किया है।  26.11.2020 को होने वाली आम हड़ताल हेतु दिए गए नोटिस में शामिल मांगों में भी यह एक प्रमुख मांग है। इन परिस्थितियों में, श्री प्रदीप कुमार, AGM(SR), जो समझौता वार्ता (Conciliation meeting) में शामिल हुए थे, ने सूचित किया है कि मैनेजमेंट शीघ्र ही वेतन वार्ता शुरू करने जा रहा  है। निःसंदेह, यह BSNLEU द्वारा किए गए अनवरत प्रयासों का परिणाम है। हम, मैनेजमेंट के निर्णय का स्वागत करते हैं और अनुरोध करते हैं कि वार्ता अविलंब शुरू की जाए।

Hindi translation of "AUAB calls on the employees to organise lunch hour protest demonstrations on 25.11.2020, against the IDA freeze."

IDA फ्रीज करने के विरोध में 25.11.2020 को भोजन अवकाश में विरोध प्रदर्शन आयोजित करने हेतु AUAB का कर्मचारियों से आव्हान..

जैसा कि पूर्व में सूचित किया जा चुका है, सरकार द्वारा पब्लिक सेक्टर कर्मियों को 01.10.2020, 01.01.2021 और 01.04.2021 को देय 3 IDA की किश्तें फ्रीज करने का निर्णय लिया गया है। ये तीनों IDA, 01.07.2021 से ही बहाल किए जाएंगे। किन्तु किसी भी प्रकार का एरियर नही दिया जाएगा।

ऑल यूनियन्स और एसोसिएशन्स ऑफ BSNL (AUAB), IDA फ्रीज किए जाने के निर्णय की कड़ी भर्त्सना करता है। यह और कुछ नही, वरन BSNL सहित सभी पब्लिक सेक्टर कर्मचारियों के साथ सरासर  बेईमानी है। अतः, AUAB ने BSNL के सभी एग्जीक्यूटिव्ज और नॉन एग्जीक्यूटिव्ज से भोजन अवकाश में विरोध प्रदर्शन आयोजित करने का आव्हान किया है।

BSNLEU के सभी सर्किल और डिस्ट्रिक्ट सेक्रेटरीज से CHQ अनुरोध करता है कि वें  25.11.2020 को भोजन अवकाश में जबरदस्त विरोध प्रदर्शन आयोजित करने हेतु पहल कर AUAB के अन्य घटकों से समन्वय स्थापित करें।

AUAB calls on the employees to organise lunch hour protest demonstrations on 25.11.2020, against the IDA freeze.

As has already been informed, the government has decided to freeze three instalments of IDA of the Public Sector employees, falling due on 01.10.2020, 01.01.2021 and 01.04.2021. These three IDAs will be restored w.e.f. 01.07.2021, but no arrears will be paid. 

 

The All Unions and Associations of BSNL (AUAB) deplores this IDA freezing. This is nothing, but hitting the public sector employees, which includes the BSNL employees, below the belt. Hence, the AUAB has called upon the entire Executives and Non-Executives of BSNL to organise protest lunch hour demonstrations on 25.11.2020.

 

The CHQ requests all the circle and district secretaries of BSNLEU to take the initiative and coordinate with the other constituents of the AUAB, for organising powerful lunch hour demonstrations on 25.11.2020.
