Hindi translation of "Working class stabbed on the back - working hours increased from 8 hours a day to 12 hours a day."

वर्किंग क्लास के साथ विश्वासघात- कार्य के घंटे, 8 घंटे प्रतिदिन से बढ़ा कर 12 घंटे प्रतिदिन किए गए....
अपना खून न्यौछावर कर और अत्याधिक बलिदान कर, वर्किंग क्लास ने "8 घंटे के कार्य दिवस" के लक्ष्य को हासिल किया था। अंतर्राष्ट्रीय श्रम संगठन (ILO) ने, 1919 में आयोजित अपने सम्मेलन में एक दिन में 8 घंटे और सप्ताह में 48 घंटे कार्य की घोषणा की थी। ILO सम्मेलन के इस निर्णय का 1921 में भारत सरकार द्वारा समर्थन किया गया था।

अब, जबकि, इस वक्त भारत लॉक डाउन के दौर से गुजर रहा है, चुपके से, कार्य के घंटे, 8 घंटे प्रतिदिन से बढ़ा कर 12 घंटे प्रतिदिन किए जा चुके हैं। वास्तव में, मोदी सरकार सत्ता में आने के बाद से ही, फैक्ट्रीज एक्ट 1948 में परिवर्तन हेतु गंभीर रूप से प्रयासरत रही है, जिससे कि, कार्य के घंटों में वृद्धि की जा सके। बहरहाल, इसे रोकने के लिए सेंट्रल ट्रेड यूनियन्स द्वारा कई हड़तालें भी की गई है। हाल ही में, 13 अप्रैल, 2020 को उनके द्वारा कार्य के घंटो में वृद्धि के विरोध में केंद्रीय श्रम मंत्री को पत्र भी लिखा गया है।

इसी दौरान, CII (कन्फेडरेशन ऑफ इंडियन इंडस्ट्रीज) का प्रतिनिधित्व करते हुए भारत के कॉर्पोरेट्स आदि के द्वारा भी कार्य के घंटों में वृद्धि हेतु सरकार पर दबाव बनाया जा रहा है। परिणामस्वरूप, सेंट्रल ट्रेड यूनियन्स के प्रतिरोध के बावजूद, कई राज्य सरकारों द्वारा मोदी सरकार के मौन समर्थन से चुपचाप तरीके से कार्य के घंटे, 8 घंटे से बढ़ा कर 12 घंटे कर दिए गए हैं। इन राज्यों में, गुजरात, राजस्थान, पंजाब, हिमाचल प्रदेश व ओडिशा शामिल है।

कई और राज्यों द्वारा भी इसे शीघ्र लागू करने की संभावना है। केंद्र और राज्य सरकारें, आज देश मे व्याप्त असामान्य स्थिति का लाभ उठाते हुए, वर्किंग क्लास की पीठ में छुरा भोंक कर, कॉर्पोरेट क्लास को सहयोग कर रही है। अब, भारत के वर्किंग क्लास को, "8 घंटे के कार्य दिवस" के, संघर्षों से अर्जित अपने अधिकार की पुनर्बहाली के लिए, जवाबी कार्यवाही करना चाहिए।

Despite all difficulties, take steps to submit the memorandum to MPs without delay – CHQ urges upon the circle and district secretaries.

As it has been already informed, the AUAB has given call to submit memorandum to all the MPs, seeking their intervention in BSNL’s expeditious launching of 4G, as well as it’s revival. 

 

However, it is observed that submitting the memorandum is going on at a slow pace. This may be due to the lock-down and severe restrictions in movement, to control the spread of Corona Virus Disease. However, our circle and district unions should keep in mind that submitting memorandum to the MPs is very essential to mobilise the public opinion in favour of BSNL’s survival and revival. 

 

Hence, despite the lock-down and restrictions, somehow, our circle and district secretaries should take the initiative for submitting memorandum to the MPs, on behalf of the AUAB. The CHQ considers this as an important duty and calls upon the circle and district unions to fulfil this duty despite all difficulties.

Hindi translation of "BSNL makes payment of salary to employees from it's own resources.."

BSNL ने कर्मचारियों को वेतन भुगतान अपने स्वयं के स्त्रोतों से किया...
यह राहत देने वाली बात है कि BSNL कर्मियों को फरवरी 2019 के वेतन का भुगतान आज कर दिया गया है। मीडिया के कुछ हलकों में खबर प्रसारित की गई है कि इस भुगतान हेतु DoT द्वारा फंड्स जारी किए गए हैं। यह पूर्णतः गलत है। BSNL द्वारा वेतन का भुगतान पूर्ण रूप से स्वयं के द्वारा एकत्रित राजस्व से किया गया है। AUAB के प्रतिनिधियों ने 13.03.2019 को CMD BSNL से मिल कर वेतन भुगतान के मुद्दे पर चर्चा की थी, तब उन्होंने आश्वासित किया था कि वेतन का भुगतान 20.03.2019 तक कर दिया जाएगा। साथ ही उन्होंने यह भी कहा था कि यह भुगतान पूर्ण रूप से BSNL को प्राप्त राजस्व राशि से ही किया जाएगा। इसी दौरान, BSNL को DOT से रु 500 करोड़ की राशि भी 14.03.2019 को प्राप्त हो गई। BSNL द्वारा DoT के प्रोजेक्ट्स के  कार्य निष्पादन के एवज में रु 2500 करोड़ का भुगतान DoT द्वारा BSNL को किया जाना था। इस रु 2500 करोड़ की राशि मे से कल BSNL को रु 500 करोड़ जारी किए गए हैं। हमें इस बात का फख्र है कि BSNL ने अपने कर्मचारियों को अपने स्त्रोतों से ही वेतन का भुगतान किया है।

"We mixed Religion with Politics, mistake" - says Uddhav Thackeray.

Uddhav Thackeray, the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, has said it was his party Shiv Sena's "mistake" to mix religion with politics and stay with the BJP.
