BSNLEU writes to the CMD BSNL, protesting the Management's decision to retrench the remaining contract workers also - calls on the CMD BSNL to sit with the unions and associations for finding out a solution..

The BSNL Management has failed to implement the revival of BSNL. It is unable to launch the Company’s 4G service. As a result, the Management is unable to find ways and means to increase the revenue of the Company. All the tall claims made by the CMD BSNL that, the Company would come into profit-making after the implementation of the VRS, has not happened. Even after retrenching 79,000 employees, the Management is unable to pay salary to the remaining employees on the due date. It is unable to pay the bills of the vendors, contractors, empaneled hospitals, as well as bills on electricity, rent, etc. So, to save it’s skin, the Management has retrenched the contract workers massively. In a letter issued a couple days back, the Corporate Office has directed the CGM’s to remove all the let-out contract workers also. Undoubtedly, the BSNL’s services will go to the dogs if the left-out contract workers are also retrenched. This is a reckless decision. BSNLEU, has written to the CMD BSNL, strongly protesting the instructions contained in this letter. BSNLEU has also requested the Management to sit with the unions and associations and to discuss this issue through video conferencing, so as to take a meaningful decision on the matter.
