Dear Comrades,

I appreciate and thank you for the solidarity and support given to the one day nation-wide strike on 28th February called by the 11 Central trade Unions and also all the Non-Executive Unions in BSNL. More than 5000 unions in the country have given call for strike in addition to the 11 Central Trade Unions and hundreds of All India Federations of Central, State and Public Sector organisations.

The demands are well-known to you. They include the demands of the common people of this country in addition to that of the workers. The strike against the neo-liberalisation policy of the central government which has mad life of the people and the  workers miserable. The struggle to save BSNL and on other common issues we have fought together and have settled many issues.

In this great struggle of crores of workers we feel that we should be together, shoulder to shoulder, to fight for the rights of the workers. While we are thankful for your support and solidarity, I would once again request you  if possible to join the strike or at least co-operate with the striking workers in the most effective way.
