The discussion on the strike demands held today between the BSNL Management and the JAC failed. Not even a single demand of the employees was accepted by the BSNL Management.

The JAC met immediately after the discussion and after reviewing the discussion unanimously decided to go ahead with the strike decision.

The BSNL Management is taking the unions for granted. The patience of the Unions is taken for weakness. The 30 point charter includes long pending demands  which needs to be addressed for motivation of the staff as well as for the revival of BSNL. The obstinacy of the BSNL Management has got to be replied by cent per cent strike on 27th November 2014. Forward to a mighty strike with full participation of all the non-executive employees of BSNL.

The Casual and Contract Workers are also on strike on the same day on their own  Charter of Demands. The BSNLCCWF has not even been called for discussion. The Casual and Contract Workers who are brutally exploited and on whose hard work the maintenance of BSNL exists, are being completely ignored and taken for granted. Their strike also will be full. Their fight is for implementation of the government orders on payment of minimum wage, social security measures etc.

Both the non-executive employees, casual and contract workers together, about three lakh workers will make the 27th November Strike a historic one.
