Message from the meeting of the General Secretaries of the unions and associations held on 20.01.2026.

A meeting of the General Secretaries and representatives of the Unions and Associations was held on 20.01.2026 at the AIGETOA Office, during which all participants expressed satisfaction over the approval of the Wage Agreement in the Management Committee and Remuneration Committee meetings. The forum decided to halt the future course of action for the time being. However, to continue pressure on the management, it was resolved to submit a letter to the CMD, BSNL, urging early recommendation of the Wage Agreement to the DoT, and also seeking settlement of the Chennai–Tamil Nadu issue through the transfer of CGM, Tamil Nadu/Chennai and GM (HR), Chennai & Tamil Nadu. The forum will also attempt to have a courtesy meeting with the newly appointed Secretary, DoT. Further, it was decided to take positive and active efforts to prepare a memorandum for submission to Members of Parliament, requesting them to raise the issue of relaxation of the Affordability Clause in the forthcoming Parliament Session, likely to commence on 1st February 2026. The future course of action will be decided in the next meeting of the Unions and Associations, likely to be held on 03.02.2026 at the SNEA Office, Eastern Court.
