NFTE and FNTO have not been attending the meetings of the  Forum for some time. The reason is not known. The Forum is the joint platform of BSNL Unions / Associations for fighting against the  anti worker policies of the government and for strengthening BSNL and its services. It is the joint struggles and  agitation by  Forum which sustained BSNL all  these years.
Taking all these in to consideration, NFTE and FNTO  should reconsider and  come  back to Forum. Forum has also  requested these unions for coming back.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” (Declaration of Independence 1776)

240 years have passed after the people of United States of America (USA) declared independence from the British rulers on 4th July 1776. The ‘Declaration of Independence’ is a well appreciated document.

During these two and half centuries, US has become the most powerful nation in the world. The collapse of the European powers like Britain, France, Germany etc. in the II world war saw the unprecedented rise of US, which was comparatively safe from the scourge of war. The collapse of USSR in the 1980s resulted in the unipolar power of capitalists headed by US.
US has travelled much back from its Declaration of Independence. It became a threat to many independent countries. Its quest for world domination has created conflicts in many countries. Its military attacks and intervention in Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq and oher middle east countries have given rise to terrorist forces, which has become a threat to the people all over the world.

If world peace is to be achieved, US has to change its policy of world domination and function with the Declaration of Independence and democratic principles, which of course, the common people of US also want.

Greetings to the people of US on 240th anniversary of freedom of their country from British colonialists!

The central government has received the report of the NITI Ayog days back, which recommended closure/privatisation of many central PSUs. It can not be treated as a confidential document and needs to be made open to the public.

Public Sector Units in the country have been formed for the improvement of insfrastructure, manufacturing etc. Any change or important modification on these PSUs should be known to the public and the stakeholders including the workers of these PSUs. It should be discussed with the unions/associations before any decision is taken by the government.

Some of the postal articles like journals, postal envelops etc. I receive are stapled several times. It is very difficult to unstapple the pins without causing damage to the contents. I do not understand why these articles are unnecessarily stappled creating harassment for the receiver and some times pain also.

My suggestion is that this pinning and stappling be avoided. The strappling does not make any article more safe, except damaging the contents.

Notice for holding of the Central Executive Committee of the BSNL Casual Contract Workers Federation on 6-7 August 2016 is already issued. It will be held at KG Bose Bhawan.

All Circle Secretaries and Office-bearers are requested to immediately book tickets to and fro for attending the CEC to ensure reservation. They are also requested to prepare organisational report including the number of members and also regarding the payment of minimum wages, implementation of EPF, ESI etc.

The arrears of quota also may be brought. The CHQ is in dearth of funds. The latest address along with the telephone/mobile No. also may be informed.
