Tele-Crusader, September, 2019 article titled "Trade union rights curbed in BSNL - BSNLEU fights legal battle."

It is known to everyone that the present corporate management is devoting more energy, money and time to crush the trade union rights in BSNL, rather than managing other affairs of the Company. Ever since, the unions and associations of BSNL started to collectively struggle for the settlement of 3rd Pay Revision, the BSNL Management started taking every step to crush the struggles. In pursuit of this design, the BSNL Management has now banned even demonstrations and dharnas. The AUAB, in it's countrywide demonstrations held on 07.08.2019, has raised it’s voice against the autocratic steps being taken by the BSNL Management to curb trade union rights in BSNL. Ultimately, when the BSNL Management directed the participating unions not to organise even demonstrations and dharnas, till the completion of the 8th Membership Verification, BSNLEU was compelled to seek legal remedy. Based on BSNLEU’s write petition, the Hon’ble Madras High Court has stayed the BSNL Corporate Office’s letter dated 02nd July, 2019, which has banned even demonstrations and dharnas in BSNL. This article of Telecrusader, September, 2019, has dealt with these developments.
