The Direct Recruited TTAs along with other workers are wondering why SNATTA has left the United Forum and joined with NFTE Alliance. Since the third verification,SNATTA was with United Forum. There were two members from SNATTA in the National Council,where many of the issues of the Direct Recruited TTAs  were discussed and settled. There was one SNATTA leader in the Wage Revision Committee, who has signed the agreement also. They are in the Change of Designation Committee. Their members are in all the Circle/Local Councils where it is present. No complaint has been received regarding nomination and if any, it has been settled.

In the discussion with the BSNLEU regarding next verification, the entire issues were discussed and it seemed that their leaders were satisfied with the issues taken and the efforts on the part of the recognised union.

Of course. there was one issue in which understanding could not be reached. SNATTA leaders wanted 5 seats in the National Council instead of the two seats at present. BSNLEU is having only 4 seats. The position was explained by BSNLEU leaders and the difficulty for increasing the seats.  Is this difference which made them to shift their alliance or something else?

But one thing is sure. The DRTTAs understand the hectic efforts made by BSNLEU and the achievements made by it. And it is also sure that the good majority of them will support BSNLEU in the verification if the report coming from the circles are correct.
