27 Circle Heads have intimated the BSNL C.O. that minimum wage, EPF, ESI etc. are fully implemented in their respective circles. Management has submitted this to the Parliamentary Standing Committee stating all labour laws are implemented in BSNL.
We are stunned, but not surprised. Many CGMs have been giving such false reports earlier also. In fact the labour laws are more violated than implemented in BSNL. During the last few days, I have been getting the correct details of the contract labour in the SSAs and how much they are being paid etc. Today I got the details of the Karnal SSA in Haryana.
The list gives the names of 33 contract workers who are engaged for 8 years, 10 years, 12 years etc. Most of the workers are getting Rs. 4,000 each while a few are getting 4800 or 5,000. As per minimum wage they should be paid a minimum of about Rs.6,600. The workers are being paid in cash by the JTO, while the wages are to be paid in cheque or in account as per instructions of the Corporate Office. EPF and ESI are not implemented.
This exploitation and violation of the orders are happening just below the nose of the Corporate Office. Still corporate office says that all labour laws are implemented. Very sad indeed !
A change in the mindset of the BSNL management is urgently required. Falsehood is not the motto of BSNL. The motto of the nation is ‘Satyameva jayate’.
