The BSNL Casual Contract Workers' Federation (BSNL CCWF) has successfully organised a two day relay hunger strike on 25th & 26th August, 2020, demanding payment of the 13 months’ wage arrears of the contract workers and opposing the retrenchment of contract workers in a massive way, through outsourcing.  As the next course of action, the BSNL CCWF has given a call for submitting a memorandum to the Chief Labour Commissioner, Deputy Labour Commissioner and the Assistant Labour Commissioner.

 

 As all of us are aware, the contract workers in BSNL are being treated very cruelly by the BSNL Management. As such, it has become the bounden duty of BSNLEU to raise it’s voice against the retrenchment of the contract workers and compelling the Management to make payment of the 13 months’ wage arrears. The CHQ of BSNLEU calls upon all the circle and district unions to compulsorily organise this programme of submitting memorandum to all the Deputy Labour Commissioners and Assistant Labour Commissioners, in coordination with the BSNL CCWF.

Advocate appeared for the accused of the Kathua rape and murder, is promoted as the Additional Advocate General of the State.

Severe criticism and protest have come against the action of the Jammu & Kashmir government (which is under the governor’s rule) for appointing Aseem Sawhney, advocate, as the Additional Advocate General of the State. This is because, Aseem Sawhney had appeared as the lawyer of the accused persons earlier, in the gang rape and murder of the 8 year old Asifa Bano at Kathua. It may be remembered that two BJP Ministers had also participated in the rally, supporting the criminals who committed the rape and murder of Asifa Bano.

Resolution adopted by the 9th All India Conference of BSNLEU on 3rd Pay Revision of BSNL employees.

The 9th All India Conference of BSNLEU, presently in session at Mysuru, has demanded the government to settle the 3rd Pay Revision with 15% fitment, to BSNL employees. The Conference thoroughly discussed the issue and severely criticised the government for denying the 3rd Pay Revision to BSNL employees, on the plea that BSNL is loss making. The Conference has pointed out that how the government is supporting the predatory pricings of Reliance Jio, which has led to the present crisis in the telecom industry. Further, the conference has also pointed out how the government is giving bail-out packages to the private telecom companies while denying justified wage revision to BSNL employees. The Conference has called upon the circle and district unions to keep the employees fully mobilised for struggle, if the 3rd Pay Revision is not settled amicably within a reasonable time. Com. C. Santhosh, circle secretary, Kerala, proposed the resolution and Com. D.K. Bakutra, circle secretary, Gujarat, seconded it.

Finance Ministry rejects BSNL's Revival Package.

The Union Ministry of Finance rejected the much-anticipated package to revamp the public sector telecommunications company Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL). The package was formed by the cabinet subcommittee headed by Minister for Home Affairs Amit Shah. It was rejected by the finance ministry pointing out that no funds can be allocated for the same.
The ministry also directed to submit a new package. The direction came after the then Cabinet Secretary Nripendra Misra completed the procedures to table the package before the cabinet and handed it over to the Ministry of Finance. Later, Nripendra Misra resigned from service.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman also was part of the committee which finalised the package. However, it was rejected when it was handed over to the Finance Ministry.
The package gave importance to the voluntary retirement scheme based on the evaluation that there is excess of staff in the company. But the finance ministry made it clear that it cannot grant funds for the scheme.
Another recommendation was to allot fund from the government to provide 4G spectrum for BSNL. However, the ministry opposed this also and suggested that the BSNL should find the funds for the same.

Hindi translation of "The GDP growth of India tumbles further – at 4.5%, it is the lowest in the 6 ½ years."

भारत की जीडीपी वृद्धि दर में और गिरावट-  4.5% के साथ, विगत 6.5 वर्षों में अपने न्यूनतम पर...

भारत आर्थिक संकट की गिरफ्त में होने से इसकी जीडीपी में गिरावट जारी है। जुलाई-सितंबर की तिमाही में जीडीपी वृद्धि दर गिर कर 4.5% रह गई है। मार्च, 2013 के बाद, यानी विगत 6.5 वर्षों में, जीडीपी की यह वृद्धि दर न्यूनतम है। ज्ञातव्य है कि विगत तिमाही, यानी अप्रैल से जून 2019 के बीच जीडीपी वृद्धि दर 5% थी। यह सुनिश्चित है कि अगली तिमाही में जीडीपी की वृद्धि दर गिर कर 4% तक आ सकती है। यह बेहद चिंताजनक है कि भारत, जो कि कुछ वर्षों पूर्व तेजी से विकसित होती अर्थव्यवस्था था, अब खस्ताहाल स्थिति में है। किसी राजनीतिक आलोचक ने सही ही कहा है कि, आज भारत की अर्थव्यवस्था ICU में है।

Hindi translation of "BSNLEU writes to the CMD BSNL, protesting the Management's decision to retrench the remaining contract workers also - calls on the CMD BSNL to sit with the unions and associations for finding out a solution."

BSNLEU ने  शेष कॉन्ट्रैक्ट वर्कर्स के छंटनी के मैनेजमेंट के निर्णय का विरोध करते हुए CMD BSNL को पत्र लिखा- यूनियन्स और एसोसिएशन्स के साथ बैठकर इसका उपाय ढूंढने के लिए CMD BSNL से आव्हान भी किया..

BSNL मैनेजमेंट BSNL का रिवाइवल करने में असफल रहा है। वह कंपनी की 4G सेवाएं भी शुरू नही कर सका है। नतीजतन, मैनेजमेंट, कंपनी के राजस्व में वृद्धि हेतु तौर तरीके भी ढूंढ नही पाया है। VRS पश्चात कंपनी के लाभ अर्जित करने के CMD BSNL के बड़े बड़े दावों अनुसार कुछ भी नही हुआ है। और तो और, 79,000 कर्मचारियों की छंटनी करने के बाद भी शेष बचे कर्मचारियों को मैनेजमेंट निर्धारित तिथि पर वेतन भी नही दे पा रहा है। वह वेंडर्स व कॉन्ट्रैक्टर्स , मान्यताप्राप्त हॉस्पिटल्स के बिल्स के साथ ही इलेक्ट्रिसिटी, किराया आदि का भुगतान भी नही कर सका है। अतः अपने आपको बचाने के लिए मैनेजमेंट ने बड़े पैमाने पर कॉन्ट्रैक्ट वर्कर्स की छंटनी की है। कुछ ही दिनों पूर्व जारी पत्र में, कॉर्पोरेट ऑफिस ने बचे हुए सभी कॉन्ट्रैक्ट वर्कर्स को भी हटाने के CGMs को निर्देश दिए हैं। निश्चित तौर पर, यदि बचे हुए कॉन्ट्रैक्ट वर्कर्स की भी छंटनी हो जाती है, BSNL की सेवाएं छीन भिन्न हो जाएगी। यह एक जल्दबाजी भरा निर्णय है। BSNLEU ने इस पत्र में उल्लेखित निर्देशों का पुरजोर विरोध करते हुए CMD BSNL को लिखा है।  BSNLEU ने मैनेजमेंट से अनुरोध भी किया कि यूनियन्स और एसोसिएशन्स के साथ बैठकर वीडियो कॉन्फ्रेंसिंग के जरिए चर्चा करें, जिससे कि इस मुद्दे पर सार्थक निर्णय लिया जा सके।
