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.

1st July 2016 is the 95th anniversary of the formation of Communist Party of China (CPC), the biggest Communist Party in the world, with a membership of more than 8 crore. It has the largest population and was one of the poorest countries. China  has grown under the Communist regime and is one of the biggest economy in the world only next to US and a super power.

Greetings to the people of China and the CPC on its 95th formation anniversary!

Com.V.A.N.Namboodiri, President, BSNLCCWF met Shri A.M.Gupta, GM(Restructuring) and discussed about the non-implementation of minimum wage and other labour laws in the various circles like UP(E), Uttarakhand, Maharashtra and other circles. GM(Restructuring) assured that he will issue strict instructions in this connection. The various orders issued earlier will also be reiterated.

A report has come in a newspaper that NITI Ayog has recommended closure/selling of loss making PSUs, including BSNL. It could not be confirmed from any other source.

However, there is always danger to the PSUs including BSNL. BSNL unions and Forum have to be most alert about fresh attacks from Government, which is anti-PSU and pro- corporates.

Hundreds of BSNL employees are retiring today, 30th June 2016, as usual every month. My Best Wishes to all of them for a Happy Retired life with family and friends!
We welcome all of them to All India BSNL DOT Pensioners Association (AIBDPA) to ensure their connection with BSNL and for settling their issues.
AIBDPA is the biggest organisation of DOT BSNL Pensioners. Join it and be part of the great fraternity of pensioners!
