Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS, spoke to Shri Saurabh Tyagi, Sr.GM(Estt.) today, and drew his attention to the following two issues:-

(a)   Non-declaration of JTO LICE results in Punjab circle.

(b)   Unwarranted restrictions imposed in the availing of Child Care Leave (CCL) in Punjab circle.

The General Secretary told the Sr.GM(Estt.) that, the understanding reached in the Formal Meeting held between the Director (HR) and BSNLEU, regarding the non-declaration of the JTO LICE results in Punjab circle, has not been implemented. The General Secretary also complained that, unwarranted restrictions are being imposed in  Amritsar district, in the availing of Child Care Leave, which is violation of the DoP&T orders. The Sr.GM(Estt.) assured that, necessary action would be taken speedily on both the issues. 

BSNLEU wishes a very happy Deepawali to all.

In the talks held with the Directors of BSNL Board, the AUAB has informed that it is agreeable for Wage Revision with 0% fitment. Following this, many experts have started showing their mathematical skills. They are telling that, there is no benefit to the employees in Wage Revision with 0% fitment. Everyone must understand that, the AUAB had tried it’s best for the past 4 years, to get a good wage settlement for the employees. AUAB issued notice for indefinite strike from 03.12.2018. This compelled Shri Manoj Sinha, the then Minister of State for Communications to hold talks with the AUAB. However, in the talks, the Minister rejected the demand for 15% fitment. Thereafter, the AUAB went on a three day strike from 18.02.2019. Just before the strike, Shri Manoj Sinha, Minister of State for Communications, assured to settle Wage Revision with 0% fitment. But, he was not prepared to give any written assurance for it. Hence, the Executives and Non-Executives of BSNL went on a 3 day strike.  Still, Wage Revision could not be settled. Our comrades should understand that, despite the best efforts made by the AUAB, Wage Revision could not be settled. Almost for the past three years, the demand for Wage Revision has been deeply buried by the Management and the government. It is only due to the sincere efforts taken by the AUAB, an understanding has been reached with the CMD BSNL and all the General Secretaries of AUAB have told the Management that, they are agreeable for Wage Revision with 0% fitment. All the fair-minded employees will agree that, BSNL is still in a deep financial crisis and no better settlement is possible in the present situation.

The Co-ordination Committee of BSNLEU, AIBDPA and BSNLCCWF, held it’s online meeting on 26.10.2021. The meeting reviewed the agitational programmes organised by the Co-ordination Committee. Further, the meeting also made an in-depth discussion of the “National Monetisation Pipeline”. The decisions taken in the Co-ordination Committee meeting are contained in this circular. Circle and district unions are requested to implement the agitational programme effectively. 

राष्ट्रीय मुद्रीकरण पाइपलाइन-National Monetisation Pipeline के खिलाफ दिनांक 09-11-2021 को प्रदर्शनों-Demonstrations का आयोजन करें :* *बीएसएनएलईयू-BSNLEU, एआईबीडीपीए-AIBDPA और बीएसएनएलसीसीडब्ल्यूएफ-BSNLCCWF की समन्वय समिति-Coordination Committee ने आह्वान किया है।

नेशनल मोनेटाइजेशन पाइपलाइन -National Monetisation Pipeline के अंतर्गत सरकार ने बीएसएनएल-BSNL और एमटीएनएल-MTNL के  14,917 मोबाइल टावरों-Mobile Towers को निजी हाथों को सौंपने का फैसला किया है। इसके अलावा, इस वर्ष के बजट में सरकार द्वारा बीएसएनएल और एमटीएनएल के मोबाइल टावरों और ऑप्टिक फाइबर-Optic Fibre को सौंपने और इस प्रकार 40,000 करोड़ रुपये जुटाने का प्रस्ताव पहले ही दिया जा चुका है। इसलिए, यह स्पष्ट है कि अगले कदम के रूप में, सरकार बीएसएनएल के ऑप्टिक फाइबर को भी कॉर्पोरेट्स को सौंपने जा रही है।  बीएसएनएल के मोबाइल टावर और ऑप्टिक फाइबर को प्राइवेट को सौंपना सरकार के भयावह षड्यंत्र का हिस्सा है, ताकि बीएसएनएल को टेलीकॉम सेक्टर से खत्म किया जा सके।  नेशनल मोनेटाइजेशन पाइपलाइन के नाम पर सरकार बहुमूल्य राष्ट्रीय संपत्तियाँ जैसे ट्रेनों, रेलवे ट्रैक, सड़कों, गैस पाइपलाइन, हवाई अड्डों, बंदरगाहों आदि को भी भारतीय और विदेशी कंपनियों को मामूली क़ीमत पर सौंप रही है । बीएसएनएलईयू, एआईबीडीपीए और बीएसएनएलसीसीडब्ल्यूएफ की समन्वय समिति-Coordination Committee की ऑनलाइन मीटिंग-Online Meeting आयोजित की गई । यह मीटिंग में दिनांक 09-11-2021 को देश भर में राष्ट्रीय मुद्रीकरण पाइपलाइन के खिलाफ प्रदर्शन-Demonstrations आयोजित करने का फैसला किया है । बीएसएनएलईयू के सभी सर्किल और जिला यूनियनों से अनुरोध है कि वे समन्वय समिति के अन्य घटकों के साथ समन्वय स्थापित करें और प्रदर्शनों को सफलतापूर्वक आयोजित करें ।

As a part of the National Monetisation Pipeline, the government has decided to handover 14,917 mobile towers of BSNL and MTNL to the private. Further, proposal has already been made in this year's budget, by the government, to hand over the mobile towers and optic fibre of BSNL and MTNL and thereby to raise Rs.40,000 crore. Hence, it is obvious that, as the next step, the government is going to hand over BSNL’s optic fibre also to the corporates.  Handing over of BSNL’s mobile tower and optic fibre to the private, is part of the sinister game plan of the government, to eliminate BSNL from the telecom sector. In the name of National Monetisation Pipeline, the government is also handing over the valuable national assets like trains, railway tracks, roads, gas pipeline, airports, ports, etc., to the Indian and foreign corporates at throw away price. The Co-ordination Committee of BSNLEU, AIBDPA and BSNLCCWF, in it's meeting, held online on 26.10.2021, has decided to organise demonstrations against the National Monetisation Pipeline, throughout the country, on 09.11.2021. All the circle and district unions of BSNLEU are requested to coordinate with the other constituents of the CoC and to organise the demonstrations successfully.
