An emergent meeting of the Forum of BSNL Unions/Associations is notified to be held at 16.00 hours on 27th February 2014 at BSNLMS Office. The main issue in the agenda is about the proposal of the government for merger of BSNL and MTNL. The Forum, as per the decision of the earlier meeting had already sent letters to Prime Minister with copy to Communications Minister, Members of the Empowered Group of Ministers(EGoM) on Revival of BSNL/MTNL, Secretary DOT, CMD BSNL etc. expressing strong protest at the move, without settling conflicts on pay scale, disinvestment of shares, pension etc.
It is understood that due to the objection of the Forum, no decision was taken in the last meeting. But the issue is still hot and may require further action on the part of the BSNL employees. These issues will be discussed in the emergent meeting on 27 February. All the affiliates of the Forum have been requested to be present without fail.
