Wage Revision - ignore false propaganda of miscreants - make the programmes of the CoC successful..

The Coordination Committee (CoC), of BSNLEU, AIBDPA and BSNLCCWF has given call to organise demonstrations on 25.10.2024, on the issues of Wage Revision, Pension Revision, immediate launching of BSNL’s 4G & 5G, stiff opposition to 2nd VRS and the issues of casual and contract workers. The CoC has also decided to organise countrywide dharna programme on 27.11.2024. The Wage Negotiating Committee meeting is also going to take place on 23.10.2024. In this backdrop, some mischievous elements have started making false propaganda, criticising BSNLEU. They are asking why BSNLEU is organising demonstration on 25.10.2024, when the Wage Negotiating Committee meeting is taking place on 23.10.2024. This propaganda, as usual, is being made by some miscreants to confuse the employees. Everybody knows that, the Union Cabinet has taken a decision that, being a loss making Company, the employees of BSNL will not get Wage Revision. Even when a Wage Revision agreement is signed between the Management and the Recognised Unions, it will not be implemented, unless it is approved by the Union Cabinet. Recently also, Shri Jyotiraditya Scindia, Hon’ble Minister of Communications, has categorically stated in writing that, BSNL employees and pensioners are not given Wage Revision / Pension Revision, in view of the weak financial condition of BSNL. Hence, it is very important that, BSNL is exempted from the Affordability Clause of the 3rd Pay Revision Committee. Otherwise, even if Wage Revision agreement is signed between the Unions and the Management, it will not be implemented. Hence, it is very essential that, the entire employees and pensioners of BSNL join together and tell the government to consider the Wage Revision and Pension Revision of BSNL employees and pensioners. This is the reason why the Coordination Committee has decided to organise continuous agitations and campaigns. The CHQ of BSNLEU requests the employees to ignore the false propaganda of the miscreants and to massively participate in the programmes of the Coordination Committee.
