Consult BSNL‘s Recognised Unions and Associations regarding the merger of MTNL and BBNL with BSNL - BSNLEU writes letter addressed to the Secretary, Telecom and CMD BSNL.

On 27th July, 2022, the Union Cabinet approved the merger of MTNL and BBNL with BSNL. on 8th September, 2022 itself, BSNLEU wrote a letter addressed to the Secretary, Telecom and the CMD BSNL, demanding that the Recognised Unions and Associations of BSNL should be duly consulted regarding the merger. BSNLEU  had also pointed out in that letter that, MTNL is having a huge debt of Rs.26,000 crore and that, BSNL should not be made to bear the burden. Further, BSNLEU  had pointed out that, the mobile and landline networks of MTNL are in shambles, which require hefty amount for restoration. BSNLEU had demanded that, this burden should not be put on BSNL. It is already 4 months since BSNLEU wrote wrote that letter. However, so far, the Management has not taken any step for holding consultation with the Recognised Unions and Associations. Hence, once again, BSNLEU has written letter addressed to the Secretary, Telecom and the CMD BSNL today, demanding to immediately hold the consultation.
