Settlement of Wage Revision being unduly delayed by Management Side members of the Wage Revision Committee – BSNLEU and NFTE calls upon the employees to organise protest lunch hour demonstrations on 25.06.2025..

Our comrades are aware that, hectic efforts have been taken for holding the Wage Revision Committee meeting and also for settling the Wage Revision issue. On 19.02.2025 itself, in the Informal meeting of the Wage Revision Committee, both the Recognised Unions have given their proposals for the new pay scales. These proposed new pay scales are much lower than the new pay scales mutually agreed by the Management and the Recognised Unions in July, 2018. It is already 4 months since the new pay scales are proposed by the Recognised Unions. Still, the Management Side says that, they are studying this matter internally. In the past 6 months, only one meeting of the Wage Revision Committee was held on 29.04.2025. In that meeting also no meaningful discussion took place. When thousands of Non-Executives are undergoing extreme sufferings due to the burning problem of stagnation, the delaying tactics by the Management Side members in the Wage Revision Committee is unacceptable and is condemnable. In view of this, both BSNLEU and NFTE have taken decision to organise protest lunch hour demonstrations on 25.06.2025, demanding the BSNL Management to immediately hold the Wage Revision Committee meeting and also to settle the Wage Revision issue expeditiously. All circle and district unions of BSNLEU and NFTE are requested to coordinate among themselves and to organise the lunch hour demonstrations on 25.06.2025 with great success.
