Com.Animesh Mitra, President and Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS, met Shri P.K. Purwar, CMD BSNL today and discussed about the harassment of women employees by the GMTD, Ludhiana. They explained how the GMTD, Ludhiana, is misusing his official powers and is enraging the modesty of women employees. They bitterly complained that, BSNLEU is taking up the issue for the past three months, but the circle and Corporate Managements have not made any intervention on this issue. The CMD BSNL gave a patient hearing and assured that appropriate action would be taken.

The MoU signed between BSNL and the New India Assurance, for implementing a Medical Insurance Scheme for the willing BSNL employees, did not materialise. Non-approval of the MoU by the Corporate Office of the New India Assurance is the reason. Hence, BSNLEU has once again written to the Director (HR), demanding to take necessary steps, for the early implementation of a Medical Insurance Scheme for the willing BSNL employees.

The Establishment Branch of the Corporate Office has written to all the CGMs, with regards to holding JTO(T), JE and Telecom Technician LICEs. The Corporate Office has called for the working strength category wise (OC/SC/ST/OBC), of the above mentioned cadres. The AUAB will ensure the early holding of these examinations.

The United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) has given call to go on a two day strike on 16^th & 17^th December, 2021, against the privatisation of Public Sector Banks. The trade unions of the banking industry have taken this decision, consequent to the decision of the Modi government to rapidly privatise the Public Sector Banks.  BSNLEU extends it’s solidarity to the UFBU. 

The CHQ of BSNLEU has already announced it’s proposal to organise agitational programmes against the harassment of women employees in Ludhiana district of Punjab circle. Despite BSNLEU repeatedly taking this issue to the notice of the Corporate Management, no action has been taken. Both the CGM, Punjab circle and the BSNL Corporate Management are remaining as silent spectators, when the modesty of women employees is being enraged in Ludhiana district. The All India Centre of BSNLEU, which met online on 29.11.2021, discussed this issue at length and has decided to organise black badge wearing demonstrations and submitting of memorandum on 08.12.2021. Hence, all circle and district secretaries are requested to organise these programmes, demanding the Corporate Management to immediately intervene on this matter.
