Two day relay hunger strike called on by the BSNLCCWF, successfully organised throughout the country.

A two day relay hunger strike is organised throughout the country yesterday and today, as per the call of the BSNLCCWF. This relay hunger strike is organised, demanding immediate payment of the 13 month wage arrears of the contract workers and also opposing their retrenchment, being done through the outsourcing. After VRS, the Management has introduced outsourcing in a massive scale and thereby retrenching contract workers. However, as per the reports being received from various circles, maintenance of landlines, Broadband and FTTH connections is seriously affected after the outsourcing and that customers are leaving BSNL. The forthcoming CEC meeting of BSNLEU will seriously discuss this issue and take appropriate action on that.
