Successful 11th All India Conference of BSNLEU.

On the first day of the All India Conference, Com.P.Abhimanyu, General Secretary, made a detailed presentation of the All India Conference report. Based on this, in depth deliberations were made by the delegates. Generally, the delegates appreciated the good work done by the CHQ during the past 3 years. They also appreciated the actions taken by the CHQ on the burning issue of Wage Revision, but at the same time, expressed their eagerness for an early settlement of the issue. The delegates bitterly criticised the inaction of the Management, in taking steps to overcome the problems being faced by the customers in the 4G service. Similarly the delegates were highly critical of non-maintenance of good quality FTTH service and pointed out the massive surrendering of FTTH connections. Discrimination being meted out by the Management to the Non- Executives, in the matters of providing mobile handset, removal of discrimination in the promotion policy, etc. is bitterly criticised. Stoppage of sports activities by the Management and compelling the Non-Executives to mark online attendance through mobile app also came under severe criticism. Implementation of 2nd VRS was strongly opposed. The need for a new Promotion Policy for the Non- Executives and need for early revision of the allowances were insisted. The Conference unanimously passed a resolution, strongly condemning the abusive messages and baseless allegations being made against Com.P.Abhimanyu, General Secretary, in the WhatsApp group called "Voice of BSNL Employees", with the sole intention of tarnishing his image. After the summing up speech of the General Secretary, the report on activities and audited accounts were adopted unanimously. Thereafter, the election of office bearers also took place unanimously. The excellent arrangements made for the All India Conference by the Reception Committee, consisting of the Tamil Nadu and Chennai Telephones circle unions, was greatly appreciated by all the delegates.
