BSNLEU will continue to remain as the "Main Recognised Representative Union" in BSNL.

India Post delivers ₹412 cr. cash in doorstep banking revolution.

The lockdown has set off a banking revolution. Irrespective of which bank you have an account with — in a city or a village without a branch—you can call the local post office and ask it to deliver cash. In as little as 10-15 minutes, the postman or postwoman will reach your home. For this, you need not have an account with the post office.


Between March 24 and April 23, post offices across India delivered Rs 412 crore in over 21 lakh such transactions, mostly in rural and unbanked areas, through a network of 1.36 lakh post offices which have been equipped with 1.86 lakh handheld AePS devices.

BSNLEU, Telangana Circle Union, warns to go on agitation, if more employees are compulsorily transferred to Vijayawada.

Sometime back, the Andhra Pradesh circle was bifurcated into Andhra Pradesh and Telangana circles. In continuation of this, employees were compulsorily transferred from Telangana circle, for manning the newly formed CGM office of Andhra Pradesh circle at Vijayawada. Now, again the Management wants to transfer more employees from Telangana circle to the CGM office at Vijayawada. BSNLEU, Telangana circle has strongly opposed this, because sufficient number of employees, from the neighbouring districts of Vijayawada, are willing to move and work in the CGM office. However, without considering the requests of such willing employees, the Management wants to transfer employees from Telangana to Vijayawada in AP circle. Hence, BSNLEU, Telangana circle, has warned the Telangana circle administration, that it would be compelled to launch serious agitations, if the Management goes ahead to transfer employees compulsorily.

RSS is planning to remove Virjesh Upadhyay, from the post of General Secretary of BMS.

Today’s Times of India has reported that the RSS is greatly annoyed with Virjesh Upadhyay, the General Secretary of BMS, and it is on the way of removing him from the post. The anti-BJP and anti-Modi government stand, being taken by Virjesh Upadhyay is said to be the reason, as per the report. However, fact remains that the BMS, which claims to be the biggest trade union in India, has dissociated with other Central Trade Unions. BMS did not join the last two General Strikes that had taken place in 2015 and 2016, opposing the anti-worker and pro-corporate policies of the Modi government. Further, the BMS also did not participate in the historic “Mahapadav” that shook Delhi on 09th, 10th & 11th November, 2017. Both these struggles were organised by the entire Central Trade Unions. The BMS did not participate in these struggles, because both the BMS and the BJP belong to the RSS family. Despite this being the fact, even one or two speeches made by Virjesh Upadhyay, General Secretary of BMS, criticising the policies of the Modi government, are not acceptable to the RSS. RSS claims itself to be a “non-political”, “cultural” organisation. As such, why it should intervene in the functioning of a trade union?

Harsh Wardhan saheb ! Let the world not laugh at us.

India is one of the greatest civilisations of the world. The country has given birth to many great geniuses, who have made great achievements in the fields of astronomy, medicine, literature,etc. However, it is regrettable that the BJP ministers are continuously engaged in distorting our ancient history and achievements, to fulfil their political agenda. We have seen how one Central Minister said that, Darwin’s ‘Theory of Evolution’ was wrong. He had said that  our ancestors did not say anywhere that, man had come from apes. Again, Harsh Wardhan, the Union Minister of Science, has done a similar gimmick now. According to him, Stephen Hawking, the world renowned scientist who passed away recently, has stated that what was written in our Vedhas, are even superior to the theory of Albert Einstein. That particular equation of Einstein, which the Minister referred to, denotes the equivalence of mass and energy. Interestingly, when the media persons present in the event, asked the Minister to mention the source for Stephen Hawking’s claim, he was not able to give any reply. If the Minister wants to glorify the Vedhas, certainly he has the liberty to do that. But, he should not make statements, which are not true. This will make the world laugh at us.

BSNLEU salutes and pays respectful homage to Com.K.G.Bose, on his birth centenary.

Today is the 100th birth anniversary of our great leader, Com. K.G.Bose, who had immensely contributed in transforming the Central Government Employees trade union movement in general and  the P&T trade union movement in particular. Through his struggles and sacrifices, Com.K.G. Bose awakened the P&T employees and showed a new path to their trade union movement.

At a very early age, Com. K.G.Bose lost his father and his elder brother. Therefore, he had to struggle hard to earn a livelyhood for the family. Soon after his appointment as a clerk in the office of the Divisional Engineer, Telegraph, Calcutta, in 1941, Com.K.G.Bose became a sincere trade union activist. He emerged as a leader in the historic stike of the P&T workers in July1946 strike, which is inscribed in the history of the freedom struggle.

He was arrested and dismissed from the service, in connection with the proposed strike in 1949. However, despite his dismissal from service, Com.K.G.Bose continued to serve the P&T trade union movement, till he breathed his last in 1974.

In 1954, Com.K.G.Bose played a pivotal role in forming the National Federation  of Postal & Telegraph Employees (NFPTE). Thereafter, he significantly contributed to the formation of the Confederation of Central Government Employees. Com.K.G.Bose played leading role in organising the Central Government employees' strikes in 1960 and 1968.

As a part of his trade union activities, Com.K.G.Bose gave much significance in educating the workers ideologically. In this process, Com.K.G.Bose inspired and created a large number of leaders. He attached much importance to the democratic functionig of trade union and in developing collective leadership. He emphasised that, a trade union worker should be morally clean and firm in ideology. They  must be sincere in their official duties and should love their fellow workers.

Com.K.G.Bose raised the popular slogan of " Unity for Struggle and Struggle for Unity". He concentrated much in building up united struggles.  This was manifested in the formation of the "12th July Committee", a platform consisting of the workers, employees and teachers in WestBengal, spearheading united struggles.

Today, when the country is facing the disastrous situation created by the anti-people, antiworker and pro- corporate policies of the Modi government, the teachings of Com.K.G.Bose, assume much significance. BSNLEU marches ahead in the path shown by Com.K.G.Bose, upholding his slogan of "Unity for Struggle and Struggle for Unity". BSNLEU has become a part and parcel of the struggles being organised by the mainstream trade union movement of the country.

The Central Secretariat of BSNLEU, which met on 15th June, 2020, has decided to observe the  Birth Centenary of Com.K.G.Bose, for one full year, starting from 7th July, 2020. During this period, various programmes will be organised, to educate the employees of the teachings of Com.K.G.Bose.

Status of implementation of the Hon'ble Lucknow CAT order on Sr.Accountants.

The issue of implementation of the Hon'ble Lucknow CAT judgement, on pay scale and for the conferment of Group B status to the Sr.Accountants, is being seriously taken up by BSNLEU. In the 35th meeting of the National Council, it was agreed that the BSNL Management would approach the DoT, for issuing fresh Presidential Orders, for the conferment of Group B status to these officials. After the National Council meeting also, BSNLEU continuously pursued this issue with the GM(FP) of the Corporate Office. Finance officers of the Corporate Office have also held meetings with the DoT officers, for the issuing of fresh POs. The issue was once again discussed with Shri Sunil Rajput,DGM(FP) yesterday, by Com.Swapan Chakraborty,Dy.GS. We are informed by the DGM that the CGM, UP(E) has obtained a stay order from the Hon'ble Allahabad High Court, against the order of the Hon'ble Lucknow CAT. This is surprising. When a decision is already taken by the National Council, to implement the Hon'ble Lucknow CAT order, we are at loss to understand how a circle administration can go against that decision. This issue will be taken up with the top Management of BSNL.
