Membership Verification is the democratic exercise being conducted in BSNL once in 3 years, for granting trade union recognition. In the 9^th Membership Verification held yesterday the 12.10.2022, around 95% employees have cast their votes in most of the circles. In some circles, the polling percentage has gone even up to 98%. In some districts, like Surendranagar district in Gujarat circle, 100% polling has taken place. At the All India level, 94.59% employees have polled their votes. This is really a great feat, considering the fact that a sizable section of the employees are posted in far-off areas, after the implementation of VRS. Still, the employees have shown a great zeal to participate in this democratic exercise. BSNLEU salutes all the employees who have accomplished their democratic duty. The CHQ congratulates all the circle, district and branch unions of BSNLEU, in making the Membership Verification successful in all respects. Of course, the SR Branch of the Corporate Office deserves appreciation for organising the 9^th Membership Verification not only successfully, but in a “fair and free” manner.

94.59% नोन एक्ज़िक्यूटिव्स ने 9वें सदस्यता सत्यापन में अपने मताधिकार का प्रयोग किया :  BSNLEU उन सभी कर्मचारियों को सलाम करता है जिन्होंने अपना लोकतांत्रिक कर्तव्य पूरा किया है।

सदस्यता सत्यापन, ट्रेड यूनियन को मान्यता प्रदान करने के लिए बीएसएनएल में 3 वर्षों में एक बार आयोजित की जाने वाली लोकतांत्रिक प्रक्रिया है। *कल 12.10.2022 को आयोजित 9वें सदस्यता सत्यापन में, लगभग 95% कर्मचारियों* ने अधिकांश सर्किलों में अपने मताधिकार का प्रयोग किया है ।  कुछ सर्किलों में मतदान प्रतिशत 98 फीसदी तक पहुंच गया है।  गुजरात सर्कल के सुरेंद्रनगर जिले जैसे कुछ जिलों में शत-प्रतिशत मतदान हुआ है । अखिल भारतीय स्तर पर 94.59% कर्मचारियों ने मतदान किया है।  यह वास्तव में एक बड़ी उपलब्धि है, इस तथ्य को ध्यान में रखते हुए कि कर्मचारियों का एक बड़ा वर्ग वीआरएस के लागू होने के बाद दूर-दराज के क्षेत्रों में तैनात है।  फिर भी, कर्मचारियों ने इस लोकतांत्रिक प्रक्रिया में भाग लेने के लिए बहुत उत्साह दिखाया है। *BSNLEU उन सभी कर्मचारियों को सलाम करता है जिन्होंने अपना लोकतांत्रिक कर्तव्य पूरा किया है।* सदस्यता सत्यापन को हर तरह से सफल बनाने के लिए सीएचक्यू BSNLEU के सभी सर्कल, जिला और शाखा यूनियनों को बधाई देता है।  बेशक, कॉर्पोरेट कार्यालय की एसआर शाखा न केवल सफलतापूर्वक, बल्कि "निष्पक्ष और मुक्त" तरीके से 9वें सदस्यता सत्यापन के आयोजन के लिए सराहना के पात्र है।

5% IDA increase has become due to BSNL employees, w.e.f. 01.10.2022. The total IDA has increased from 190.8% to 195.8%. The DPE had issued letter on 06.10.2022, approving this IDA increase. Based on this, the BSNL Corporate Office has issued letter today the 12.10.2022, for the payment of 5% IDA increase.

It is informed that, the 2nd All India Convention of BSNL Working Women’s Co-ordination Committee (BSNLWWCC) is going to be held on 10.12.2022. BSNLEU and BSNLWWCC, Tamil Nadu circle, have kindly consented to host this All India Convention. The venue of the Convention will be Kanyakumari. BSNLWWCC will inform shortly, the number of delegates that would be allotted to various circles. Only the number of delegates to be allotted to various circles, can participate in this All India Convention.

The 9^th Membership Verification started today morning and is going on throughout the country. Brisk polling is reported from almost all the circles. Com.P.Abhimanyu, General Secretary, has spoken to various circle secretaries and ascertained the position. The polling is taking place peacefully almost in all the circles, except NE-I. In Tripura district of NE-I circle, BTEU has brought hoodlums of the ruling party to stop the members of BSNLEU from voting. CHQ has written a complaint to the PGM(SR) yesterday, with a copy to the CGM, NE-I circle. Management has taken some steps, however still all the members of BSNLEU have not voted because of the disturbance being caused by outsiders. 

9वां सदस्यता सत्यापन पूरे देश में हो रहा है।

9वां सदस्यता सत्यापन आज सुबह शुरू हुआ और पूरे देश में चल रहा है। लगभग सभी सर्कल से तेज मतदान की सूचना मिली है। महासचिव साथी पी अभिमन्यु ने विभिन्न सर्कल सचिवों से बात की है और स्थिति का पता लगाया है। पूर्वोत्तर-1 को छोड़कर लगभग सभी सर्कल में मतदान शांतिपूर्ण ढंग से हो रहा है। पूर्वोत्तर-1 सर्कल के त्रिपुरा जिले में बीटीईयु ने BSNLEU के सदस्यों को मतदान करने से रोकने के लिए सत्तारूढ़ दल के उपद्रवियों को लाया है। सीएचक्यू ने कल पीजीएम (एसआर) को एक शिकायत लिखी है, जिसकी एक प्रति चीफ जनरल मेनेजर, पूर्वोत्तर-I सर्कल को दी गई है। प्रबंधन ने कुछ कदम उठाए हैं, हालांकि अभी भी BSNLEU के सभी सदस्यों ने उपद्रवियों की वजह से हो रही गड़बड़ी के कारण मतदान नहीं किया है। 

The CHQ heartily congratulates all the circle, district and branch unions for successfully conducting the campaign for the 9^th Membership Verification.  From the interaction that we had with our functionaries and members, during the campaign, we can understand that BSNLEU will win in the 9^th Membership Verification, with substantial increase in the vote percentage. However, we have to ensure that the support BSNLEU is having among the employees, are converted into votes. Hence, all circle, district and branch unions are requested to ensure the following:-

1. Each and every Non-Executive casts his / her vote in this Membership Verification.
2. Special attention should be given to bring the Non-Executives posted in rural and far-off places, to reach the polling booth well before the closing time. Full day leave should be arranged to them, as per the Corporate Office order.
3. The model ballot paper has already been sent to the CEC members. It must be ensured that, every voter votes carefully. The voting should be made by affixing the SWASTIK SYMBOL within the box of BSNLEU’s election symbol of Cell Phone.

Com.N.D. Ram is making a false propaganda that BSNLEU opposed the nomination of a SEWA member to the National Council.

NFTE is also propagating that only because of BSNLEU, National Council meeting has not taken place for the past 3 years. Both Com.N.D. Ram and Com. Chandeshwar Singh are telling lies. BSNLEU has never opposed the nomination of a SEWA member to the National Council. 

NFTE nominated a non-member (a person who is not a member of NFTE) to the National Council. But, when BSNLEU nominated a non-member (a person who is not a member of BSNLEU) earlier, it was not accepted by the Management. Hence, BSNLEU only demanded that it should also be given the right to nominate a non-member to the National Council. A copy of BSNLEU’s letter written to the Director HR on this issue is enclosed. From this, it becomes clear that both Com.N.D. Ram and Com.Chandeshwar Singh are telling lies and are cheating the employees.

In NFTE’s meeting held at Chennai on 08.10.2022, Com.Chandeshwar Singh, GS, NFTE, has stated that “the immature and arrogant attitude of Com.Abhimanyu is standing in the way of settlement of many important issues.”

The BSNL Management has abolished thousands of posts in the name of Restructuring and has ruined the promotions of our young employees. The Management is threatening the employees with dismissal under FR 56(J), increasing the working hours up to 12 hours per day and also bringing 2^nd VRS. According to Com.Chandeshwar Singh, the Management, which has taken the above measures is not arrogant. That is why, NFTE leaders are dancing with the CMD BSNL. At the same time, Com.P.Abhimanyu, who is fighting against the anti-employee measures of the Management, appears to be arrogant to Com.Chandeshwar Singh. It is a tragedy that NFTE has become a puppet in the hands of the Management.

A mischievous propaganda is being made by NFTE that, only because of BSNLEU, the employees appointed after 01.01.2007 did not get 78.2% fixation. We can only laugh at this statement. Last Wage Revision was implemented w.e.f. 01.01.2007. It means, only those employees who were on roll as on 31.12.2006 are entitled for the Wage Revision w.e.f. 01.01.2007. Those who are appointed after 01.01.2007, are not covered by this Wage Revision. The General Secretary of NFTE should first understand the basic things before making statements among employees. 

NFTE is propagating that the important issues of the Non-Executives, like Wage Revision, stagnation, etc., are not settled only because of BSNLEU. NFTE is also cheating the employees by saying that, NFTE is not having any power, since it is only the 2^nd Recognised Union. However, the Corporate Office letter attached here says that, both BSNLEU and NFTE are having equal rights and power. Now, NFTE should explain to the employees, why it has not settled any of the issues of the Non-Executives, even though it is the Recognised Union for the past 9 years. NFTE has wasted it’s Recognition for the past 9 years. What is the use of giving Recognition to NFTE once again?

The CHQ of BSNLEU is saddened to know that, Com.P.V.Chandrasekaran, affectionately called as PVC, has passed away. He had been unwell and breathed his last in a hospital at Ernakulam, Kerala, at 09:30 pm last night. Com.PVC was deeply committed to the working class movement and has played a significant role in the foundation as well as in the strengthening of BSNLEU. The CHQ of BSNLEU deeply mourns the passing away of Com.PVC. Red salutes to Com.PVC.
