A lot of complaints are being received from many stations that the minimum wages decided by the Government/BSNL is not being paid to them. Mostly about 50% is only being paid. EPF, ESI are not implemented in most cases. It is a shame to the BSNL management that it is incapable of implementing its own orders and the exploitation of the low paid workers are continuing.

Today I had a serious discussion with the GM(Admn), Corporate office, who is dealing with the issue. He admitted that it is true that the orders are not implemented in many places, but assured that all efforts will be made to ensure that it is implemented. I gave him certain cases like Jabalpur, Mathura, Nainital etc. which he assured to look in to and action taken. Our comrade should come with correct information of non-implementation of minimum wage EPF ESI etc. so that these can be brought to the notice of the corporate office for reddressal.
