3rd Wage Revision - Facts and lies..

Some mischievous persons are continuously spreading lies that the 3rd Wage Revision is not settled only because of BSNLEU. They are spreading the lie that, the DoT offered Wage Revision with 5% fitment. But, it was rejected by Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS, BSNLEU. These lies are being spread only to defame BSNLEU. Hence, to expose the liars, we are giving below the facts.

(i)     Minister Shri Manoj Sinha, rejected 15% fitment.

On 03.12.2018, a meeting was held between the AUAB and the then Minister Shri Manoj Sinha. The Minister rejected the 15% fitment demand of the AUAB, stating that the Cabinet will not accept it. He suggested that, the AUAB, the DoT and the BSNL Management should come to an agreement for a lesser fitment.

(ii)   Shri Anshu Prakash, Additional Secretary, withdraws his 5% offer.

On 30.01.2019, there was a meeting between the AUAB and Shri Anshu Prakash, the then Additional Secretary, DoT. Shri Anshu Prakash requested the AUAB leaders to accept 5% fitment. The AUAB leaders unanimously decided to accept this proposal. But, on the next day itself, Shri Anshu Prakash somersaulted and withdrew his 5% offer.

(iii)  The AUAB issued notice for 3 day strike from 18.02.2019.

On 13-02-2019, Shri Anupam Shrivastava, the then CMD BSNL, met the AUAB leaders and made the following offer.

(a)  The AUAB should withdraw the strike notice.

(b)  After the strike is withdrawn, the Hon’ble Minister will try to settle Wage Revision with 5% fitment.

The AUAB leaders accepted these proposals. However, they insisted that, the DoT should give this offer in writing. But, the DoT was not prepared to give anything in writing.  Hence, all the General Secretaries decided unanimously  to go ahead with the strike.

The General Secretaries of BSNLEU, NFTE, SNEA, AIBSNLEA and AIGETOA had participated in all the above mentioned meeting. All the decisions are taken unanimously by the above mentioned General Secretaries. Then why mudslinging is being made on BSNLEU? 

The above facts will expose the real face of those who are spreading lies against BSNLEU.
