The Joint Forum of BSNL & MTNL Unions/Associations in its meeting on 23rd November expressed its strong protest against the inaction and negative attitude of the government and BSNL-MTNL managements in settling the ITS repatriation issue and has decided to intensify the struggle. The programmes will be finalised in the 4th December meeting.

Suggestions also came from unions that the future struggle should include the Financial viability of the two PSUs, Pension of MTNL employees, refund of spectrum charges etc. which also will be discussed in the next meeting.
