Dear comrade,

The following is the hashtag for our Twitter Campaign, to be organised tomorrow.

#ApologiseAnantkumarHegdeMP

The Twitter Campaign is to be organised between 11:00 hrs and 13:00 hrs tomorrow. CHQ requests all our comrades to make the programme successful.

Time at our disposal is short. We have to put in extra effort to make the Twitter Campaign successful. Please rush.

The human chain programme, called on by the unions and associations yesterday, was a grand success. The programme was an unprecedented success in New Delhi. Similarly, as per the reports being received from each and every district, the human chain programme has been massively participated in by the employees. Naturally, the newly forged unity of all the unions and associations in BSNL, has generated a great amount of enthusiasm among both the Non-Executives and Executives throughout the country. This human chain programme foretells that the forthcoming 2 day strike, to be held on 12th and 13th of December is also going to be a total success. The CHQ of BSNLEU heartily congratulates the entire employees, as well as all the unions and associations for making the human chain programme a grand success.

The unions and associations of BSNL are continuously opposing the formation of a Subsidiary Tower Company. A one day strike on 15.12.2016 and a two day strike on 12^th & 13^th December, 2017, have already been organised against the formation of Subsidiary Tower Company. Despite the stiff opposition from the entire BSNL employees, the government has appointed the CMD of the Subsidiary Tower Company. Further, it is shocking that an IAS officer is appointed as the CMD. This clearly shows that the Subsidiary Tower Company will remain under the control of the government and not under the control of BSNL. Hence, it is proved that through the Subsidiary Tower Company, the government is snatching away the entire mobile towers of BSNL. To express our immediate protest, “The All Unions and Associations of BSNL” have decided to organise protest lunch hour demonstrations on 08.01.2018, at the Corporate Office, Circle and District levels. Memorandum, addressed to the Secretary, DoT, shall also be submitted to the CGM’s on that day. The All Unions and Associations of BSNL is holding it’s meeting at 15:30 hrs. on 08.01.2018, to decide about the next course of action. Circle and district secretaries of BSNLEU are requested to effectively organise the lunch hour demonstrations, in coordination with the other constituents of “The All Unions and Associations of BSNL”.

The All Unions and Associations of BSNL, has decided to invite the Central Trade Union leaders, to address the March to Sanchar Bhawan. Com. Tapan Sen, MP and General Secretary, CITU, has kindly consented to address the rally, even though we approached him only in the 11^th hour. We are very grateful to him. It is once again informed that the March to Sanchar Bhawan will start at 11:00 AM from the Eastern Court, Janpath. All comrades are requested to be present on time.

BSNLEU has given the call to observe Call Attention Day on 03-05-2018. Lunch hour demonstrations have to be conducted on that day, by wearing black badges. Wearing Demands badges, with black ribbons, will be very effective to observe the Call Attention Day. A model badge, printed by Karnataka Circle, is given here. Similar badges with demands printed there on, and with black ribbons, may be arranged in all places, to observe the Call Attention Day. CHQ calls upon all the circle and district unions to mobilise maximum number of employees in the demonstrations and make the call successful.
