Government / Management wants to retrench another 35,000 employees under VRS..

The Heads of circles conference was held in the Corporate Office on 04^th & 05^th August, 2022. A presentation has been given by the Corporate Management in this conference, wherein it is proposed to retrench another 35,000 employees under VRS. The proposal is to offer VRS to the employees who are 45 years old and above. Through this VRS, Management wants to retrench 40% of the employees in the age group of 43 – 58 years. After implementation of this VRS, BSNL will have only 45,000 employees.

       In the 1^st VRS, out of the total 1.5 lakh employees, 80,000 employees were sent home. Now, the Management wants to implement one more VRS and to send home another 35,000 employee. The game plan of the government is very clear now.

• Retrench maximum number of employees.
• Make the employees’ strength slim.
• Hand over BSNL to the government’s corporate friends.
