Today I went to CITU office and met the leaders of the CITU, Comrades A.K.Padmanabhan, All India President, Tapan Sen, General Secretary and Swadesh Dev Roy, Secretary and discussed about the issues of the casual and contract workers in BSNL. The BSNL management is denying the rightful regularisation of the casual labour, due wages to the contract labour, not implementing the social security measures like EPF, ESI etc.  Contract workers are being retrenched when the demands are raised and the  workers go on struggle. The situation in the other PSUs were also discussed.

The CITU leaders assured that they will take up the issues with the government and also fully support the struggles of the casual-contract workers in BSNL.
