The meeting of the Joint Action Committee of BSNL Associations/Unions of Executives & Non-Executives will be held today, 18th March 2011. One of the main agenda is to make a plan for mobilising all the workers to start a new campaign and work plan to save and strengthen BSNL. It will have to think about and plan our strategy in view of the New Telecom Policy 2011 being prepared by the Government of India. What should be our alternative plan. All these are to be discussed in the meeting of the JAC today.

The time is passing out. BSNL is in loss in 2010-11 for the first time. It may be in loss for 2011-12 also. But if all of the management and the workers together strive hard, there is every chance that we may be able to bring BSNL to profit by 2012-13. Of course, the government should be compelled to change its anti-PSU policy. That can only be done by sustained campaign and public pressure. Our task is to facilitate the same.

Let us take suitable decisions in the JAC.
