Do not take unilateral decision on the merger of circles – BSNLEU writes to the CMD BSNL..

Management has formed a committee to examine the merger of West Bengal Circle with Kolkata and Tamil Nadu Circle with Chennai. This is a major step which will have impact on the working conditions of the employees of these four circles. However, the Management has not discussed the issue with the recognised trade unions. On earlier occasions also, Management has taken unilateral decisions on issues affecting the employees and BSNLEU has already expressed its protest over it. However, once again Management has taken the unilateral decision to merge the above mentioned circles. BSNLEU has written a letter to the CMD BSNL today, demanding to immediately share the details which has compelled the Management to consider merger of these circles. BSNLEU has also told the CMD BSNL that no final decision should be taken without consulting the recognised unions.
