The Asia - Pacific Regional meeting of the Trade Union International (Transports & Communications), is held at Thiruvananthapuram today. This TUI is affiliated to the WFTU (World Federation of Trade Unions). Com.Ali Riza (Turkey), president of the TUI presided over the meeting. Com. Matthew (France) General Secretary, welcomed all the delegates and reported on the activities of the TUI. Com.P. Abhimanyu, Vice-President, BSNLEU, who is the Convenor of the Communications Sector of this TUI, participated in the meeting and spoke on the developments taking place in the communications sector in India and around the world. Com.Swadesh Dev Roye, Deputy General Secretary of the WFTU addressed the meeting. He told that, 25 crore workers went on the General Strike in India on 9th July, 2025, opposing the Four Labour Codes, anti-Public sector policies of the government and on other important demands of the Indian working class. Delegates from India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Vietnam and Laos participated in the deliberations. In-depth discussions took place, regarding the working conditions of the workers in the Transports and Communications sectors. It was reported that, delegates from Indonesia, Bangladesh and Pakistan could not attend this meeting due to visa problem, while delegates from Philippines could not attend due to heavy rain and flood in that country.

The Corporate Office has issued letter, stating that the Executives and Non-Executives should mark online attendance using the mobile app. The Executives are already provided with smartphones by the Company. Whereas, the same has not been provided to the Non-Executives. A considerable number of Non-Executives are not having smartphones. Under these circumstances, compelling the Non-Executives to mark online attendance using the mobile app amounts to harassment. BSNLEU is continuously demanding that, the Non- Executives should also be provided with mobile handsets by the Company. However, this demand has not been accepted by the Management. In the Formal Meeting held with the Director(HR) on 16th July 2025 also BSNLEU has raised this issue. However, the demand is not yet accepted by the Management. Now, one after another, the circle administrations are issuing instructions making it mandatory for the Non- Executives also to mark attendance using the mobile app. Under these circumstances BSNLEU has written letter to the Director(HR) today, demanding to issue instructions to the field units, directing them not to compel the Non-Executives to mark attendance online by using the mobile app.

BSNLEU has sent letter to the CMD BSNL today, communicating the list of office bearers elected in the All India Conference of the Union held at Coimbatore on 22^nd and 23^rd July, 2025.

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.

जैसा कि सभी साथियों को ज्ञात है, BSNLEU का ऐतिहासिक 11वां अखिल भारतीय सम्मेलन 22 और 23 जुलाई, 2025 को तमिलनाडु के कोयंबटूर में आयोजित किया गया था। सम्मेलन में निम्नलिखित पदाधिकारियों का सर्वसम्मति से चुनाव किया गया है। BSNLEU का केंद्रीय मुख्यालय इस सम्मेलन में निर्वाचित सभी साथियों को हार्दिक बधाई देता है। BSNLEU के नए नेतृत्व में वरिष्ठ और अनुभवी के साथ-साथ युवा और गतिशील नेताओं का भी मिश्रण है। इसमें कोई संदेह नहीं है कि यह नई टीम आने वाले दिनों में BSNLEU को नई ऊंचाइयों पर ले जाएगी।
