Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given  call for building an Atmanirbhar Bharat (Self-reliant India). At the same time, he is selling the precious assets of our country to foreign companies. 100% FDI has been allowed in Telecommunications, Bank, Insurance, Air India, Ports & Docks, Defence production, etc. 100% FDI means, the taking over of our assets by foreigners, sooner or later. The Central Trade Unions and Industrial Federations, including BSNLEU are fighting against the privatisation and handing over of our precious Public Sector Undertakings to the multinational companies.

Organise tomorrow’s lunch hour demonstrations powerfully.

Ever since entering into the telecom market in September, 2016, Reliance Jio has been adding the maximum number of customers every month. However, in December, 2019, BSNL has beaten Reliance Jio. BSNL has added 4,27,089 customers in December, 2019, while Reliance Jio has added only 82,000 new customers. Vodafone has lost a whopping 35 lakh of it’s existing customers and Airtel has lost 11,000 customers, during the same period. This is the impact of all the private companies raising their tariff by 40% in December, 2019. BSNL has not raised it’s tariffs.

From May, 2019 onwards, the Union subscription money deducted from the salaries of employees, has not been remitted to the unions and associations. As a result, it has become difficult for us to function without getting remittance of subscription money from the Management.  BSNLEU has been continuously pressing upon the Management to remit the subscription money, that has been deducted from the salaries of our members. Now, the Management has cleared all the dues of the employees who have retired under VRS. As a result of this, the subscription money, deducted from their salaries, is also being remitted to the Union. This will give some relief in our functioning. Wherever this remittance is not made, the circle and district secretaries are requested to approach their respective level Management and demand the same.

Due to the mismanagement of the Donald Trump administration, the United States is seriously affected by the Corona Virus infection. So far, 8.26 lakh people are infected with the Corona Virus in that country and 45,300 people are already dead. Further, the US has already lost 2.25 crore jobs. In short, the United States has become the biggest victim of the Corona Virus Disease. However, to hide his mismanagement and inefficiency, Donald Trump is trying to mislead the people of the US and the world. Last week, Trump tried to make the world believe that the Corona Virus was produced in a Chinese laboratory. However, the World Health Organization (WHO) has categorically stated that, all available evidence suggests that the novel corona virus originated in animals in China  and was not manipulated or produced in a laboratory. Trump is very unhappy with the WHO, because it is speaking the truth. He has already stopped all financial assistance to the WHO. The Director General of the WHO, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, has become a special target for attack, including racial abuses, by  Donald Trump's camp.

कोरोना वायरस की उत्पत्ति जानवर से हुई है और लैब में नही बना है- कहना है WHO का...

डोनाल्ड ट्रम्प प्रशासन के कुप्रबंध की वजह से यूनाइटेड स्टेट्स कोरोना वायरस संक्रमण से बुरी तरह से प्रभावित है। अभी तक उस देश मे  8.26 लाख लोग कोरोना वायरस के संक्रमण से प्रभावित हो चुके हैं और  45,300 लोगों की मृत्यु भी हो चुकी है। साथ ही, US में 2.25 करोड़ नौकरियां भी खत्म हो चुकी है। संक्षेप में यह कि, यूनाइटेड स्टेट्स कोरोना वायरस की बीमारी से बुरी तरह से ग्रसित हो चुका है। किन्तु, डोनाल्ड ट्रम्प अपनी अक्षमता और कुप्रबंधन पर पर्दा डालने के लिए US की जनता और पूरी दुनिया को गुमराह करने के प्रयास में है। विगत सप्ताह, ट्रम्प ने दुनिया को यह विश्वास दिलाने की कोशिश की, कि कोरोना वायरस चीन की लेबोरेटरी में निर्मित किया गया था। किन्तु विश्व स्वास्थ्य संगठन (WHO) ने  दृढ़ता के साथ स्पष्ट किया है कि सभी उपलब्ध प्रमाण दर्शाते हैं कि नावेल कोरोना वायरस की उत्पत्ति चीन में जानवरों से हुई थी और लेबोरेटरी में न तो इसके साथ छेड़छाड़ की गई थी और न ही बनाया गया था। ट्रम्प WHO से बेहद नाराज है, क्योंकि वह सच बोल रहा है। ट्रम्प द्वारा WHO के सभी वित्तीय सहयोग पर रोक लगा दी जा चुकी है। WHO के डायरेक्टर जनरल, टेडरॉस एधानोम घेब्रेइसस (Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus) डोनाल्ड ट्रम्प समर्थकों के खास निशाने पर है, जिसमें नस्लीय हमले भी शामिल हैं।

The Modi government has taken a major step in privatising the Indian Railways. It has invited “Request For Qualification (RFQ)” from Indian and foreign corporates, for operating 109 pairs of high-speed passenger trains. These 109 pairs of high-speed passenger trains have been formed into 12 clusters, to run across the Indian Railway network. The drivers and guards of these trains will be from the Indian Railways. The other employees will be of the private operators. It may be remembered that the Modi government has already allowed 100% FDI in the Indian Railways.

BSNLEU ने सभी BSNL कर्मियों के लिए एक दिन का वेतन स्वीकृत करने की मांग की...

दूरसंचार एक आवश्यक सेवा होने की वजह से BSNL के कर्मचारी राष्ट्रव्यापी लॉकडाउन लागू किए जाने के बावजूद लोगों को संचार सेवाएं उपलब्ध करा रहे हैं। कोरोना वायरस के संक्रमण से अपने बचाव को सुनिश्चित करने के लिए BSNL कर्मचारियों को प्रतिदिन मास्क्स, ग्लव्स, सेनिटाइजर, लिक्विड सोप आदि का उपयोग करना पड़ रहा है। इस हेतु वें अपनी जेब से पैसा खर्च कर रहे हैं। BSNLEU ने उपर्युक्त आइटम्स खरीदने के लिए व्यय की जा रही राशि की पूर्ति हेतु सभी कर्मचारियों को एक दिन का वेतन (Basic Pay +DA) तत्काल स्वीकृत किए जाने की मैनेजमेंट से मांग की है। BSNLEU ने मैनेजमेंट को सूचित किया है कि अन्य पब्लिक सेक्टर उपक्रमों, जैसे भारतीय जीवन बीमा निगम, स्टेट बैंक ऑफ इंडिया और यूनियन बैंक ऑफ इंडिया इस तरह की एकमुश्त ग्रांट स्वीकृत कर चुके हैं।

आत्मनिर्भर भारत पर प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी की दोहरी बात।  

प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी ने आत्मनिर्भर भारत की स्थापना का आह्वान किया है। लेकिन, यह केवल दोहरी बात है। व्यावहारिक रूप से वह हमारे अमूल्य सार्वजनिक क्षेत्र के उपक्रमों को विदेशी बहुराष्ट्रीय कंपनियों को बेचने के लिए सब कुछ कर रहे हैं ।  भारतीय रेलवे, दूरसंचार, बैंक, इंश्योरेंस, एयर इंडिया,बंदरगाहों और नाव, रक्षा उत्पादन कारखानों में 100% एफडीआई की अनुमति दी गई है l इसका अर्थ है कि अभी या बाद में हमारे सार्वजनिक क्षेत्र के उपक्रमों की अमूल्य परिसंपत्तियों को विदेशी बहुराष्ट्रीय कंपनियों द्वारा अपने कब्जे में ले लिया जाएगा । क्या यह आत्मनिर्भर भारत के निर्माण का तरीका है?

BSNLEU and BSNL CCWF are continuously pressing the CMD BSNL hard, for releasing funds for the payment of wages of the contract workers. Com. P. Abhimanyu, GS, discussed this matter with Shri P.C. Bhatt, Sr.GM(CBB), Corporate Office, today. The Sr.GM(CBB) informed that the Corporate Office has released funds to the circles today, for the payment of approximately one month’s wages of the contract workers. This fund is allotted to all the circles.

All the Central Trade Unions, except the BMS, which is pro-BJP, are organising countrywide protest action today, opposing the anti-worker policies of the Modi government. At the behest of the Central Government, many state governments have increased the workload from 8 hrs. to 12 hrs. a day. The Labour Laws are being drastically changed in favour of the corporates. Speedy and large scale measures are being taken to privatise the Public Sector Undertakings, including the Indian Railways. The CTUs have already demanded that the government should give financial assistance of Rs.7,500/- per month, for the months of April, May and June, to all the non-income tax paying households.  

BSNLEU has already given call to organise lunch hour demonstrations throughout the country today, demanding settlement of the issues raised by the CTUs. 

The CHQ has received intimation that Com.Mukesh Kumar, contract worker, manning the Rajatalab BTS, in Varanasi SSA, was killed in a road accident today, while going for the duty. Com.Mukesh Kumar is a young worker and has met an untimely death. The CHQ of BSNLEU pays homage to Com.Mukesh Kumar and conveys it’s heartfelt condolences to his family members and friends.

The CEC meeting of BSNLEU is being held at Vadodara on 06th & 07th March, 2020.

The Narendra Modi government has frozen the DA of the Central Government employees and pensioners for a period of 1 ½ years, under the pretext of managing the crisis that has been created by the Corona Virus. The government will say that, this money will be utilised to help the common man. But, the question is, why the government should grab the money from the pockets of Central Government employees and pensioners? In August, 2019, the Modi government transferred Rs.1.6 lakh crore from the Reserve Bank. Next month itself, out of this money, the government gave concessions to the big corporates to the tune of Rs.1.45 lakh crore, by cutting down the corporate tax. Not only this! From April, 2014 onwards, the Modi government has waived bad loans, to be paid by the big corporates, to the tune of Rs.5.55 lakh crore. This is how the Modi government has facilitated the big corporates to loot Rs.5.55 lakh crore of people’s money. So, when the  government wants to help the big corporates, it will have unlimited resources. But, when the question of helping the common man arises, the government will not have any source and it will grab money from workers' pockets. This is a classic example for the economic policy of Narendra Modi.

All the trade unions in the Coal sector, started a 3 day strike at 6 am yesterday, the 02.07.2020, against allowing commercial coal mining by Indian corporates and multinational companies. The strike is also against allowing 100% FDI in the Coal Sector, which is nothing but handing over the coal mines to multinational companies. Talks held between the trade unions and the Coal Minister, Shri Pralhad Joshi, on 01.07.2020 had failed. Production of 4 million tons of coal is expected to be affected by this strike. BSNLEU expresses it’s support and solidarity to the heroic strike of the Coal workers.

BSNLEU and BSNL CCWF have given call to conduct a rally to Corporate Office on 3rd March, 2020, demanding settlement of issues of the contract workers like non-payment of wages, retrenchment, etc. However, the All India Centre meeting of BSNLEU held today, reviewed the programme. It has been decided to defer the rally, in view of the communal unrest prevailing in Delhi. At the same time, it is decided that, BSNLEU and BSNL CCWF shall meet the CMD BSNL on that day and to submit a memorandum, demanding settlement of the problems.

CHQ has given call for the collection of donations to the “Contract Workers Relief Fund”. Many circle unions have done a good job in collecting the donations. Collection of these donations is intended to extend immediate relief to the contract workers, who are suffering immensely due to the lock-down, as well as due to the non-payment of wages for many months. Hence, CHQ has already directed all the circle unions to immediately rush food materials to the contract workers, out of the donations collected. All the circle unions which have collected the donations are requested to urgently carry out this task. Report and photos may be sent to the CHQ.

A rumour is being spread by miscreants, regarding  the payment of June salary. The rumour quotes Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS, BSNLEU, as saying that fund is allotted by the Corporate Office, for the payment of June salary. This is a bogus news. Comrades are requested to ignore this bogus news.

कॉन्ट्रैक्ट वर्कर्स की 3 मार्च की रैली स्थगित....
BSNLEU और BSNL CCWF ने, कॉन्ट्रैक्ट वर्कर्स के वेजेस का भुगतान, छंटनी आदि मुद्दों के निराकरण की मांग करते हुए 3 मार्च, 2020 को कॉर्पोरेट ऑफिस तक रैली निकालने का आव्हान किया था। किंतु, BSNLEU के आल इंडिया सेन्टर की मीटिंग में प्रोग्राम की समीक्षा की गई। नई दिल्ली में व्याप्त सांप्रदायिक अशांति के चलते रैली स्थगित (defer) करने का निर्णय लिया गया। साथ ही, यह भी तय किया गया कि BSNLEU और BSNL CCWF, समस्याओं के निराकरण की मांग करते हुए CMD BSNL से उसी दिन ज्ञापन देने हेतु मुलाकात करेंगे।
