No reduction of retirement age from 60 to 58 - let the Management and the DoT read the writing on the wall.

Only yesterday the AUAB came to know that the BSNL Board of Directors are moving in the direction of passing resolution, approving reduction of the retirement age of BSNL employees, from 60 to 58. Immediately the AUAB gave call for lunch hour demonstrations today. Even though, the call was given at a very short notice, the demonstrations were organised in a big way throughout the country. BSNL Executives and Non-Executives have spontaneously participated in the demonstrations in huge number. Today’s demonstrations are a warning signal to the BSNL Management and the DoT who want to kill BSNL by implementing Compulsory Retirement Scheme (CRS), through reducing the retirement age from 60 to 58. If the Management and the DoT do not read the writing on the wall, they will have to face militant struggles in the near future.
