As the verification date is nearing, both NFTE and FNTO has split. It can be seen that the negative role being okayed by both these organisations have resulted in some sections coming out and forming separate union.
In NFTE, two senior most leaders, Com.R.K.Kohli and Com.N.T.Sajwani, former General Secretary, NFTE has quit NFTE and formed a new organisation called NFTBE (National Federation of BSNL Employees). They have joined United Forum, the alliance led by the present recognised union BSNLEU. It is the same with the newly formed Federation of National Telecom BSNL Employees Union (FNTBEU) led by senior leaders Coms.Jayamary and Andiappan. They have declared that they will support BSNLEU in the verification. More members from NFTE andFNTO are going to desert the parent organisation due to the wrong line being adopted by the top leadership of both unions.
