The government decision of the III PRC is already issued. In the case of BSNL, the DOT and Government should decide for wage revision immediately, taking in to consideration the fact that BSNL is having operational profit and the same is increasing, productivity is high, the loss is due to policy decision of the government on universal service and the workers were government servants earlier, where the pay revision is not connected with profit and loss etc. The affordability clause should be removed in case of BSNL for wage revision.
The success of the strike on 27th July has already shown that the workers are ready for further action for getting wage revision. Without making the workers to go on further agitational programmes, the government should take positive decision.

Majority of the banl employees who are already retired since 2001 had already served the the department of telecom with eligibility for full government pension.
Every Government servant then wholehearted wanted to honour the telecom policy of the government so that the common man will get the telecom services at the affordable cost and also for the overall economic development of the nation.
Hence it is not correct on the part of the government to sideline such a genuine approach of the employees and put the affordable condition now for the BSNL employees.The government should relax such condition for the revision of pension at least for the retired BSNL employees who were eligible for full government pension at the time of the formation of BSNL.
Dunia jaye bhar me ham majase full pension le, sahi hay
BSNL and MTNL are service-providers like Indian Railways. As such it makes no sense to talk about profit-making in their case alone. All said what profit the civil servants have made other than to themselves and for whom the GOI implemented the revised pay scales first. The grossness of the grossly discriminatory treatment is sadistic at its worst. Take the issues to the court stressing that BSNL and MTNL cannot be compared to private sector telecom companies and as central PSUs when central government employees are given revised pay there is no justification to deny the same to BSNL and MTNL employees.
The issue has been seriously taken by all the unions and Associations.
