The All India Conference of BSNLEU has taken a very important and historic decision to organise “BSNL Casual/Contract/Unrecorded Workers Day” on 1st November 2012. There are 3348 casual labours, as per government, in BSNL who are yet to be regularised due to administrative delay. Now the BSNL management is denying regularisation on the plea of a judgement in the Supreme Court. But based on the same judgment casual workers have been regularised in Central Govt. and other PSUs. There are about one lakh contract and unrecorded workers. These casual and contract workers are denied Minimum Wage, social security measures like EPF, ESI and in many cases their names are not even recorded. BSNLEU and the newly formed organisation of BSNL Casual and Contract Workers have been organising sustained agitations for getting the demands settled.

Now the Ludhiana AIC of BSNLEU has taken decision to strengthen the struggle and called upon  all its units to organise “BSNL Casual/Contract/Unrecorded Workers Day” on 1st November 2012 focussing the demands and organising demonstrations rallies etc. BSNLCCWF will be fully joining in the programme. BSNLEU deserves congratulations for organising a programme on the demands of the Casual/Contract/Unrecorded workers alone.

Let all make maximum efforts to make the programme a big success with massive participation. BSNL management can not avoid settlement of the justified right of the workers.
