After 5 months of militant struggle, in which leaders of BSNLEU and SNEA were suspended, transferred and charge-sheeted, the Kerala BSNL contract workers have won their demands for higher wages. As the orders issued on the basis of the agreement reached between the union and the circle Management, the new rates are as follows:
- Unskilled Labour : Rs.318 ( Rs. 236 earlier)
- Semiskilled Labour: Rs. 343 (Rs. 258 earlier)
- Skilled Labour : Rs. 351 (Rs. 258 earlier)
- Out door workers will get Rs.17/- as transport allowance.
- Variable DA will be in addition.
- These rates will be implemented from 1st August 2015.
- These rates are based on the minimum wages for Kerala State.
We congratulate the BSNLEU, BSNLCCWF and SNEA leaders and workers who organised the struggle and fought to the end. Com.K.Mohanan, Circle Secretary BSNLEU and Circle President BSNLCCWF, N.R.Somasekharan Nair, CS, BSNLCCLU and George Verghese, then CS SNEA along with the other leaders in the circle led the militant struggle.

Res Comrade,Semiskilled wages derived from old wages 236. Workers with wages of Rs236/- will be changed into unskilled & semiskilled workers. Pl clear it.
Earlier there was no clear bifurcation of unskilled and semi-skilled workers in Kerala BSNL. Now the classification has been made in to unskilled, semiskilled and skilled. So, the new rates of wages have been implemented for unskilled, semi-skilled and skilled. Please contact Circle secretary BSNLEU for further details.
