It is reported that BSNL management is proposing to outsource its towers, optical fibre cables etc. to private players to improve its revenue streams, as per the CMD. This is the consequence of VRS proposal. Once the VRS proposal is cleared and if many opt for VRS, there will be lack of staff to man all these works. Hence it is to be outsourced. Reduce the staff, reduce the work and again reduce the staff. The management want the major chunk of workers to be retrenched and start outsourcing and also engaging contract workers by exploiting them ruthlessley as is being done now.
Another main point is that all these proposals are not even discussed with the unions/associations who have got a big stake in the future of the company. Wrong policy decisions are taken by the government, it is mismanaged by the top management and the workers and the people suffer. This has to be put an end to.
