Recognised Union has the right to nominate members of it's choice, to the councils. BSNLEU tells the Management.

Citing the case going on in the Hon'ble Kerala High Court, BSNL Management was not accepting nomination of non-members to the councils. However, the court case has already come to an end. Thereafter, BSNLEU nominated com. Suresh Kumar, GS, BSNL MS, to the National Council. Recently, Management has rejected this nomination, stating that com. Suresh Kumar's union has not obtained 7% votes in the last membership verification. Com.P.Abhimanyu,GS, met shri A.M.Gupta, GM(SR) today, and discussed this issue. The GS pointed out that the Management has rejected BSNLEU's nomination by giving a wrong interpretation. 7% vote criteria does not apply to this case, told the GS. He further told that, from the time of the first membership verification onwards, Management had been accepting nomination of non-members, and the problem was created only after an interim order given by the Court. Now that the court case has already come to an end, Management should accept BSNLEU's nomination, argued the GS. Finally, the GS demanded a full-fledged discussion on this issue with the Director(HR), in the presence of GM(Legal) and GM(SR). BSNLEU will further seriously pursue this issue.
