The attention of the CMD BSNL was drawn to the attempt being made by the TERM Cell, to take over BSNL's building / space in Jammu.

The CMD BSNL assured that appropriate actions would be taken on all the above mentioned issues.

It is already informed through this website that this issue was discussed in the last National Council meeting, as an outside agenda item, and that the Director (HR) agreed for the same. However, this decision was not mentioned in the minutes of the National Council meeting. Hence, BSNLEU has already written to the GM (SR) for the implementation of the decision. The status of this issue was discussed with GM (SR) by the representatives of BSNLEU today. The GM (SR) replied that necessary instruction has already been given in writing to the Admin. Branch, for the implementation of the decision.

In the meeting held with Ms.Aruna Sundararajan, Secretary, DoT, yesterday, Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS, BSNLEU, urged upon her to immediately issue the necessary clearance to the BSNL Management, for starting negotiations for Wage Revision of the Non-Executives. The GS, BSNLEU, pointed out to the Secretary,DoT, that the DPE, in it's guidelines issued for the Wage Revision of the Non-Executives, has not laid down the condition of "Affordability". Further, he also brought to the notice of the Secretary, DoT, that the BSNL Management has already written to the DoT, seeking to issue clearance, for starting negotiations for Wage Revision of the Non-Executives, and that the DoT has not responded to it so far. The Secretary, DoT, assured to look into it, and to do the needful.

The price of petrol is sky-rocketing every day. At Mumbai, today’s petrol price is Rs.87.39. Similarly, the price of diesel is also galloping, as a result of which the prices of essential commodities are shooting up. The Hindu dated 06.09.2018 has published the following cartoon on this.

The AUAB meeting held on 20.11.2018, has called on the unions and associations to mobilise public opinion massively, in favour of the indefinite strike and it’s demands. The meeting has decided that street corner meetings should be organised from 01.12.2018, till the end of the strike. Especially, the meeting has decided that, from 03.12.2018 onwards, the entire Non-Executives and Executives should participate in the street corner meetings in a big way. We have to make effective campaign among the general public that, the existence of BSNL, as a public sector company is very essential for the people of this country. The anti-BSNL and pro-private policies and actions, especially the actions being taken by the government in favour of Reliance Jio, should be effectively publicised among the people. All circle and district unions of BSNLEU are requested to coordinate with the other constituents of the AUAB and to take the initiative for organising this campaign among the general public.

AUAB ने 3 दिवसीय हड़ताल का नोटिस दिया...

आज AUAB द्वारा 3 दिवसीय हड़ताल का नोटिस दिया गया। हड़ताल का नोटिस जारी करने का निर्णय आज AUAB की मीटिंग में लिया गया। मीटिंग में गहन चिंता के साथ यह महसूस किया गया कि AUAB द्वारा मुद्दों के निराकरण हेतु किए गए प्रयासों, विशेष रूप से 3rd पे रिवीजन के मुद्दे पर, कोई खास प्रगति नही हुई है। साथ ही, आज सम्पन्न AUAB की मीटिंग में बीएसएनएल के रिवाइवल से जुड़े कुछ और मुद्दे शामिल करने का निर्णय भी लिया गया। सभी सर्किल और डिस्ट्रिक्ट सेक्रेटरीज से अनुरोध है कि वें AUAB के अन्य घटकों के सहयोग से प्रभावी रूप से हड़ताल करें। हमारे पास उपलब्ध  समय बेहद कम है, अतः सर्किल और डिस्ट्रिक्ट सेक्रेटरीज हड़ताल आयोजित करने के लिए युद्ध स्तर पर प्रयास करें।

The Unions and Associations of BSNL are demanding the government to approve BSNL’s Land Management Policy, since the revenue generated through the monetisation of BSNL’s vacant lands can be funded for the development and revival of the Company. But, now, the government has decided to ringfence the proceedings from the monetisation of BSNL’s vacant lands, for funding the VRS. This is a well thought of plan, to deprive BSNL of the funds needed for it’s development and financial revival.

विस्तारित सीईसी मीटिंग, पुणे में दिनांक 29 से 31 जुलाई तक होगी- सर्किल और डिस्ट्रिक्ट सेक्रेटरीज कृपया नोट करें...

Some employees are raising the doubt, whether employees who go on VRS are entitled for Pay Revision. A judgement delivered by the Delhi High Court on 26^th February, 2017, in the Sanjay Behari vs. IFCI Ltd. case, has said that employees who go on VRS are not entitled for any Pay Revision given retrospectively, for the period when they were in service. The relevant portion of the judgements says as follows:-

It is (VRS) a package deal of give and take. That is why in business world it is known as "Golden Handshake". The main purpose of paying this amount is to bring about a complete cessation of the jural relationship between the employer and the employee. After the amount is paid and the employee ceases to be under the employment of the company or the undertaking, he leaves with all his rights and there is no question of his again agitating for any kind of his past rights, with his erstwhile employer including making any claim with regard to enhancement of pay scale for an earlier period.

Republic Day greetings to all. Long live the Republic of India. Long live the secular character of the Indian Constitution.

26th January, 1950 is the day on which the Constitution of India is born and India became a Republic. The Constitution of India is based on Mahatma Gandhiji's thought that, India belongs to the people following all religions, viz., Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Sikhism, Buddhism, etc. Thus, the Gandhian thought of secularism is the basis of our Constitution. However, today, the BJP government is taking all out efforts to change the secular character of the Indian Constitution. The CAA (Constitution Amendment Act) the NPR (National Population Registry) and the NRC (National Registry of Citizenship) being brought by the government, are nothing but to change the secular character of our Constitution. Prominent intellectuals of India and abroad have deplored the CAA, NPR and the NRC. Massive protests are taking place through the country against them. BSNLEU conveys it's warm greetings to all the comrades, as well as to all the people of our great nation, on this occasion of the Republic Day. BSNLEU also resolves to oppose the CAA, NPR and the NRC. Long live the great Republic of India. Long live the secular character of Indian Constitution.

Hindi translation of BSNLEU's Republic Day greetings.

गणतंत्र दिवस पर सभी का अभिनंदन। भारत का गणतंत्र अमर रहे। भारतीय संविधान का धर्मनिरपेक्ष स्वरूप अमर रहे...
26 जनवरी, 1950 वह दिन है जब भारत के संविधान का जन्म हुआ और भारत गणतंत्र बना। भारत का संविधान महात्मा गांधी के विचारों पर आधारित है जिसके अनुसार भारत सभी धर्मों का पालन करने वाले लोगों का देश है, जैसे  हिंदुत्व, इस्लाम, क्रिश्चन, सिख, बौद्ध आदि। इस तरह से गाँधीजी का धर्मनिरपेक्षता का विचार संविधान का आधार है। किन्तु, आज, BJP सरकार भारतीय संविधान के धर्मनिरपेक्ष ताने बाने को छिन्न भिन्न करने पर आमादा है। सरकार द्वारा लाए जा रहे CAA (संविधान संशोधन अधिनियम), NPR (राष्ट्रीय जनसंख्या रजिस्टर) और NRC (राष्ट्रीय नागरिक रजिस्टर) और कुछ नही, वरन हमारे संविधान के धर्मनिरपेक्ष स्वरूप को परिवर्तित करने का प्रयास है। भारत और विदेश के प्रतिष्ठित बुद्धिजीवियों ने   CAA, NPR और NRC की भर्त्सना की है। इनके खिलाफ देश भर में व्यापक आंदोलन हो रहे हैं।

BSNLEU, गणतंत्र दिवस के अवसर पर, हमारे सभी साथियों का और साथ ही हमारे इस महान देश के नागरिकों का अभिनंदन करती है। साथ ही BSNLEU, CAA, NPR और NRC के विरोध हेतु प्रतिबद्धता प्रदर्शित करती है।  भारत का विशाल गणतंत्र अमर रहे। भारतीय संविधान का धर्मनिरपेक्ष स्वरूप अमर रहे...

10 Central Trade Unions have given call for nationwide protest action on 03^rd July, 2020, opposing the attacks on Labour Rights, privatisation of the Public Sector, etc. Utilising the restrictions imposed during this lock-down period, the Narendra Modi government is launching serious attacks on  Labour Rights.

As a prelude to those actions, the Central Trade Unions have given call for protest action on 03^rd July, 2020.
