For the past few months, NFTE lead BSNL Workers Association and FNTO are not participating in the meeting of the Joint Council of Action and consequently not implementing the decisions of the JAC. This is unfotunate. JAC has been persuading to bring them back, but so far it has not succeeded. The main reason for non-participation according to these unions is that BSNLEU is taking advantage of JAC.
The accusation is with out merits. Of course BSNLEU is giving maximum importance to the decisions of the JAC and implementing them to the maximum extent possible. This might have created a feeling amongst the workers about the involvement of BSNLEU. Such commitment can be made by all the unions. JAC is the co-ordinating body of all unions and every union has got right to present JAC achievements as the achievements of that union also.
My appeal to all these unions is to come back.It is necessary at this crucial time when BSNL and its workers are facing the biggest challenge, the survival of BSNL and its workers. We have to jointly fight this all important struggle. I hope these unions will reconsider ther=ir decision.
