Facility of Immunity from Transfer – BSNLEU demands separate instructions to be issued for trade unions.

Office bearers of BSNLEU are facing difficulty in getting the facility of immunity from transfer. This is, because confusing instructions are being issued by the Corporate Office. Trade unions, including BSNLEU are having trade union rights. They are covered by Indian Trade Unions Act -1926, Industrial Disputes Act -1947 and other labour laws of the country. However, Executive Associations are not similarly placed. But, Corporate Office does not issue in instructions separately for the trade unions and Executive Associations. This causes confusion among field units in granting the facility of Immunity From Transfer to the trade unions. Hence, BSNLEU has written a detailed letter to the CGM(SR) today, demanding that separate instructions should be issued hereafter to the trade unions, in respect to the facility of Immunity from Transfers.
