Casual and Contract Workers will strike on 15th December 2016

14 Wednesday Dec 2016

Posted by VAN NAMBOODIRI in General, Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

BSNLCCWF has called upon all the casual and contract workers engaged in BSNL to join the One Day Strike on 15th December 2016 called by all unions/associations in BSNL against the formation of Tower Subsidiary Company separating it from the BSNL. The move of the government to form Tower Subsidiary Company is neither in the interest of BSNL nor in the interest of  the workers. It is only a plan to privatise the Tower Company.

The casual and contract workers will also be affected seriously. Hence BSNLCCWF has called to all the casual and contract workers to participate fully in the strike.

MAKE THE STRIKE A BIG SUCCESS! DEFEAT THE GOVERNMENT ‘S NEFARIOUS GAME!

Demonetisation – Where are the currency notes promised by PM?

Demonetisation - an attack on the people

A reported statement of the RBI says that more than 80% of the banned old notes have been received by the RBI as on 10th December. It comes to Rs. 12.44 lakh crores according to RBI. Well and good. But how much new notes have been issued? RBI says it has released notes worth Rs. 4.61 lakh crore, meaning one-third of the money taken back. While the old notes are in Rs. 1,000 and Rs. 500, the new notes are mostly of Rs.2,000 and some in Rs.500. Out of these, notes worth lakh of crores are diverted to the hands of money launderers and bigwigs through corrupt Bank officials and political patronage. Almost every day such people are caught, but it may be 2-3% only of the launderers.

The poor and middle class people continue to stand in front of the banks and ATMs in hundreds to get some money to cater to daily needs. PM, FM and those in the government make high speeches about the benefit of digital system as also assuring that this trouble will continue only for a few days or weeks more.

The job of the government is not to harass the people; but that is what is actually happening. In fact, the demonetisation is an attack on the poor people. The people should give a fitting reply to this attack in the coming elections.

SBI moves for VRS in affiliated banks before merger

13 Tuesday Dec 2016

Posted by VAN NAMBOODIRI in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

It is reported that the SBI Board has cleared Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS) for the employees of the affiliated banks which are going to be merged with it. The intention is to retrench 55,000 officers and staff, who are above 55 years of age.

The affiliated banks which are proposed to be merged are: State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur, State Bank of Travancore, State Bank of Patiala, State Bank of Mysore and State Bank of Hyderabad.

In fact there is no need fr the merger except to reduce the PSU Banks, in order to help the private banks to increase their business. The bank workers are resisting the move. Our full support to them.

Cyclone Vardah smash Chennai, Andhra Coast

13 Tuesday Dec 2016

Posted by VAN NAMBOODIRI in General

≈ Leave a comment

The heavy rain and 120-130 km. cyclone yesterday in Chennai completely shattered the lives of the people, with more than 10 dead and colossal loss of buildings etc. Thousands of trees have been uprooted and almost all roads blocked. Electricity shut down. Life in shambles. This is almost a repetition of the last years deluge. Nature’s fury has once again struck Chennai.

Our sympathies are with the suffering people. Telecom workers are on 24 hours job to restore connections, wherever destroyed. Hope normalcy will be restored soon.

The coastal areas of Andhra also have been affected seriously. We sympathise with them and hope for early normalcy.

‘Demonetisation Dangerous than Emergency’ – Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi

12 Monday Dec 2016

Posted by VAN NAMBOODIRI in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

Bhopal, Dec 10 :  Terming demonetisation as the biggest attack on poor, Kerala Chief Minister, Pinarayi Vijayan said it is “dangerous than emergency” and will increase the divide between rich and poor.

“I have never seen such a big attack on poor as the one which took place recently in the form of demonetisation.

“It is being termed as an attack on black money, but it is attack against the poor. It is dangerous than emergency,” Kerala CM said at 11th conference of All India Democratic Women’s Association (AIDWA).

Vijayan said people should not suffer this silently.

“We have an opportunity to step up our struggle against capitalism,” he said. (Courtesy: Ganashakti).

Payment of Wages Act to be amended for Cashless Payment

12 Monday Dec 2016

Posted by VAN NAMBOODIRI in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

The government has decided to amend the Payment of Wages Act so as to make  all payments to the workers  through bank accounts, instead of in cash. This is specially significant in view of the policy of the government to make a cashless society.

(Of course, they will never think about a casteless society!)
