Comrade another indefinite strike becomes inevitable once the 78.2% IDA is not approved/implemented in this board meeting on 28.08.2012. The employees have become restless about this issue which was put before the Management on 12.06.2012. unnecessary heavy expenditure in the name of development is still taking place in BSNL and Management is hand in glove with the corrupt officers. Comrade strike the iron when it is hot. remind the management we are the recognised union and will not keep quiet against wrong policies of govt/Management to destabalise BSNL and Workers.
The Forum conveyed its strong protest against the victimisation of leaders of SNEA(I) including its All India President and General Secretary and demanded that the same should be dropped- SNEA means he is an executive, how an executive cam become a leader of a forum which basically a face of TRADE UNION. Management has taken a wide decision by transferring those lots.
The Forum of BSNL Unions/Associations is a joint forum of all the unions/associations of executives and non-executives. It is taking up the issues of both the executives and non-executives. As such when any union/association in the Forum is victimised it is the duty of the Forum to take up the issue. Hence our reaction to the unjustified transfers of SNEA leaders.
