We are agressively organising and running unions in BSNL and MTNL, the public sector telecom companies. During the last more than 15 years many private sector companies have started functioning in telecom sector and there are thousands of workers employed in these companies. Are there any unions for these workers? I am not aware. Is it not the responsibility of organised telecom workers to help the private sector workers to form their unions. I think it is necessary. Of course, it is not easy since the private managements never welcome formation of unions in their companies as is evident from the case of Maruti, Hyundai etc. Yes, there may be objection and resistance from the managements, but union is most necessary to defend the interests of the workers.
We have t think about the issue of formation of unions in private telecom companies with out further delay.
Rightly said Comrade. But we can wait till BSNL’s story is over. We can open a shop there after that.
Dear Comrade,
In many private companies all over the world, unions have been formed. Efforts are being made in India also. We hope to succeed in the matter.May be it will take some more time. By the way, our effort is to improve BSNL for which all stake holders have to work together..
