Revolutionary Greetings on BSNLEU Day!
22nd March 2016 is the 15th Birth Day Anniversary of BSNL Employees Union. It was formed in the National Convention of Telecom workers held at Visakhapatnam in A.P. on 21-22 March 2001. Seven all India unions in telecom sector merged themselves to form BSNLEU. Senior leaders, Coms. Sisir Bhattacharjee and Moni Bose were elected as Patrons, J.N.Mishra as President and V.A.N.Namboodiri as General Secretary.
The BSNL workers achieved many gains under the leadership of BSNLEU in these 15 years. Many struggles were organized on the demands of the workers, against attack on workers, against the anti-worker policies of the government and for the revival of BSNL.
BSNLEU has won in all the last 5 membership verifications and continues to be the main recognized union. It represents more than 50% of the total non-executive workers in BSNL. It is expected that it will get more than 50% vote in the present verification and will be the sole bargaining agency in BSNL.
It organized the BSNL-DOT Pensioners through AIBDPA. BSNLCCWF was formed for the casual contract workers. These three unions/associations are jointly working for the benefit of the regular workers, contract workers and pensioners. BSNLEU is part of the main stream of the workers’ organizations in the country.
BSNLEU CEC meeting at Ahmed Nagar has called upon the circle/Branches to celebrate and observe 22 March by holding meetings, rallies etc. and explain the role of BSNLEU in the working class movement.
BSNLEU is the inspiration of the BSNL Workers.
Our motto is “Unity for Struggle; Struggle for Unity; Unity and Struggle for Progress.”
BSNLEU Zindabad! Working Class Unity Zindabad!
