GMTD, Ludhiana is enraging the modesty of women employees - Corporate Management remains as a mute spectator- CHQ calls the circle and district unions to be ready for agitation at short notice.

It is the duty of the BSNL Management, to protect the dignity of every woman employee working in our esteemed Company. However, the GMTD, Ludhiana, is continuously involving in activities of outraging the modesty of women employees. His "modus operandi" is to transfer women employees from their existing work places to some other places. Thereafter, he calls the women employees separately to his chamber, not once but many times, and tries to influence them. Many women employees have been thus targeted within a few months. Especially, he is targeting young women employees and is giving mental torture to them. The CHQ of BSNLEU had already received complaints from women employees that the GMTD, Ludhiana, is harassing them. BSNLEU had already taken up this issue with the Director (HR), demanding appropriate action. However, the Corporate Office is remaining as a mute spectator. The Corporate Office is in a deep slumber. This has emboldened the GMTD, Ludhiana and thus, he continues to play his game. A few days ago, one of the affected women employees of Ludhiana district, has given a complaint to the Sexual Harassment Committee at Ludhiana. The woman employee has levelled specific complaint against the GMTD, Ludhiana. Based on this, BSNLEU has once again written to the Director (HR), demanding immediate intervention. BSNLEU has told the Corporate Management that, the Union would be forced to organise agitational programmes, if speedy action is not taken against the GMTD, Ludhiana. BSNLEU has always stood in the forefront to safeguard the dignity of women employees. Now, the CHQ calls upon all the circle and district unions throughout the country, to be ready to go on agitation at short notice, to stop the harassments of the GMTD, Ludhiana.
