BSNL and its employees including casual and contract workers are making all out efforts for the improvement of services and making the PSU viable. It is expected that by 2017-18, it will post profits. For the last two financial years there was operational profit.

It is the duty of the central government, who is the 100% owner of BSNL, to give all assistance to the PSU at this juncture. Two of the most important issues which will help BSNL in a large way are:

  1. Allow 4G Spectrum free to BSNL.
  2. Direct all central/state governments and PSUs to avail BSNL services mandatory as is the case of Air India Service.

Strong pressure should be brought upon the Central Government to achieve these important demands.

BSNL and MTNL Merger again in the Government agenda

It is reported in the press that the Merger of BSNL and MTNL is again in the agenda of  the government.

The Forum of BSNL Unions and Associations had demanded earlier that if the merger is to be implemented, the following conditions should be fulfilled:

  1. The debt of MTNL should be written off, so that the debt will not be with the merged corporation.
  2. The disinvested shares should be bought back so that MTNL is fully owned by the government as in the case of BSNL.
  3. The difference in the payscales should be removed.

Government should seriously think over and implement these favourable suggestions. It was not the workers who divided Telecom services in to BSNL and MTNL, but it was the government. As such, the government should take necessary actions to accept these demands before moving for merger.

 

Strengthen United action of the BSNL employees

It is most surprising that the BSNL Management issued a letter to the recognised Unions and Association in BSNL against going on united action by executives and executives. This is nothing short of interfering in the rights of the trade unions to agitate for their justified demands. We can understand the disappointment of the government and the BSNL Management in their failure to implement many of its anti-BSNL decisions due to the united mighty struggles of the unions and associations. They want to divide the workers on one pretext or other. This move has been defeated time and again by the workers.

The March to Raj Bhawan, Collectorate etc. organised today jointly by the Unions/Associations today have torn to pieces the unwarranted instructions of the BSNL Management. It is now understood that the Management has kept the impugned orders in abeyance after strong protest from BSNLEU and the Unions and Associations.

Keeping in abeyance is not sufficient; the letter needs to be withdrawn unconditionally.

One of our demands has been met partially. Free night calling facility introduced by BSNL to the land line subscribers was demanded to be extended to BSNL and DoT retirees. But, as in the case of broad band concession, it is only extended to BSNL pensioners. BSNLEU  had demanded to extend the facility to the employees and retirees of BSNL

The March was organised to protest against the anti-PSU policy of the government and especially against the NITI Ayog recommendation for closure of BSNL, MTNL etc, against formation of Tower Company, demanding free 4 G spectrum to BSNL etc.
