Conduct demonstrations on 13-10-2017, demanding payment of PLI.

BSNLEU has strongly demanded payment of this year's PLI to the employees. It has written letters to the CMD BSNL, as well as to the Director ( HR & Fin.). The issue is discussed twice with the CMD BSNL. However, Management is not willing to pay PLI. As usual, the Company's financial position is being cited as the reason, for the Management's inability to pay PLI. BSNLEU does not agree with this. Hence, BSNLEU calls upon the employees to conduct demonstrations on 13-10-2017, demanding payment of PLI to BSNL employees. Due to certain unavoidable reasons, the call is being given at a very short notice. CHQ requests our circle and district unions to make the programme successful and also send reports and photos to the CHQ.

No money for BSNL 's revival - But, government can spend Rs. 1.45 lakh crores to reduce the burden of big corporates.

We know that the Finance Ministry has already rejected the proposals for BSNL' s revival. It has refused to allot 4G spectrum to BSNL, citing the financial crisis being faced by the government. However, the same government has given a huge tax concession to the big corporates to the tune of Rs. 1.45 lakh crores. According to the announcement made by Ms. Nirmala Sitaraman, Finance Minister today, Corporate Tax is reduced from 30% to 22%. In case of companies started after 01-10-2019, the Corporate Tax will be only 15%.

The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Labour is looking into the Industrial Relations Code, 2019.

The Industrial Relations Code, 2019, being introduced by the Narendra Modi government, is virtually taking away the right of the Trade Unions to go on strike. This Code states that, workers will not be allowed to go on strike, once the conciliation process is started. No strike can take place till the completion of the conciliation process. No one can tell, when the conciliation process will be completed. Thus, if the Industrial Relations Code, 2019, is passed in the Parliament, then all strikes in our country will remain banned. Hence, the Central Trade Unions have made petitions to the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Labour, which is presently looking into the Industrial Relations Code, 2019.

Scientists deeply pained by BJP Minister's claim.

                                        

It has been recognised by the scientific community throughout the world that, Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution of man is scientifically correct. However, the Union Minister of State for Human Resource Development, Satyapal Singh has stirred a controversy by claiming that the theory of evolution of man was scientifically wrong and that, it should be removed from the school and college books. The minister has also claimed that the books written by our fore fathers did not say that, they saw an ape turning into a man. The Indian National Science Academy, The National Academy of Sciences and The Indian Academy of Science have criticised the statement made by the Minister. Scientists and students from institutions across the country have strongly condemned the statement of the Minister. The statement of the Minister is seen as a part of the larger agenda of the RSS, to change the text books, to suite it’s communal agenda.
