This year, we observe May Day with utmost importance and commitment. BSNLEU calls upon workers to intensify the struggle in the telecom sector, while also addressing the broader challenges faced by workers and pensioners, both globally and in India. In this context, we must recall the ongoing attacks through the new Labour Codes, which threaten workers’ rights by increasing working hours and weakening job security. May Day has always remained a historic day of struggle and solidarity. It is the responsibility of all comrades to actively participate in rallies, meetings, and signature campaigns to defend the rights of workers and pensioners. 

Live May Day! International working-class unity Zindabad!
