FNTO is in Trisanku. They are neither with BSNLEU nor with NFTE. In the second and third verifications, they were in United Forum and after BSNLEU won, they were given seats in the National Councils and also in Cirle / Local Councils wherever they were present. Issues were taken by the United Forum and satisfactory results were also there. But  FNTO leaders thought that though they are not the kings, they are the kingmakers. They were afraid that BSNLEU is becoming stronger and this has to be curbed. They thought that if they support, NFTE will win and joined them in the IV Membership Verification. But the NFTE-FNTO alliance lost by more than 28,000 votes.

When FNTO was in the United Forum, they got seats, status and participation in all discussions with the management. After deserting United Forum, everything was lost. As such, many in FNTO wanted to come back to United Forum, but it did not happen.

Now, continuing with the alliance of NFTE is a complete loss. Neither recognition nor seats nor votes. When in United Forum even though FNTO votes were counted with BSNLEU, they got councils seats etc. But in the alliance with NFTE they got neither seats nor votes. As such they decided to contest separately. It is not that they will win, but at least there will be their votes accounted in the name of FNTO. It seems that the INTUC leaders also advised the same.

So at last, FNTO is neither in the United Forum nor with NFTE. But many in the FNTO has expressed their desire for alliance in the United Forum. We do not know what will happen.
