Medical Bills, Medical Allowance to BSNL Pensioners being unduly delayed

14 Wednesday Apr 2021

Posted by VAN NAMBOODIRI in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

Though BSNL is stating that its finance is improving, its pensioners are still being denied the medical allowance and medical reimbursement. This is complete injustice to the senior people who have served the nation for long 35-40 years.

It is demanded that the BSNL management should reimburse the medical expenses / pay medical allowance urgently.

Central government is ignoring the unemployed. Fill up the vacant posts in government, PSUs.

14 Wednesday Apr 2021

Posted by VAN NAMBOODIRI in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

There are more than 10 lakh unfilled vacancies in Railways, Posts and in other central government, central PSUs like Banks etc. On the other hand, crores of unemployed youth are wandering without getting any jobs. Central government is extending tax relief etc. of lakhs of crores of rupees to the big corporates, but is not prepared to give jobs to the unemployed. The resistance against the anti-worker policy of the Modi Government has got to be strengthened.

Covid Situation worsens – Utmost care required.

14 Wednesday Apr 2021

Posted by VAN NAMBOODIRI in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

For the last one week, the covid spread all over India is more than one and half lakh almost every day. The death rate has also increased. The second covid spread is more dangerous according to health authorities.

Utmost care is required by all to reduce the covid spread. The covid protocol announced by the government has to be strictly followed. Elders are at more risk. May had taken vaccination, but still there are many who have not taken. Governments have to ensure sufficient supply as also arrangements for the vaccination. We will fight this pandemic with all sincerity.

Why delay one year for 4G service by BSNL?

01 Thursday Apr 2021

Posted by VAN NAMBOODIRI in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

The government has allotted 4G Spectrum to BSNL. After much pressure it has also allowed participation of foreign companies for providing 4G infrastructure by BSNL as by private companies, ending the discrimination to BSNL. Is one year necessary to float the tender and finalise it? The issue should be taken with utmost seriousness and urgency by the management without any delay as 4G service is vital to the growth of the company.

IDA to get reduced by 1.1% w.e.f. 01st April, 2021.

As per the latest Consumer Price Index, released by the Labour Bureau yesterday, the 31st March, 2021, IDA rate is to get reduced by 1.1%, w.e.f. 01st April, 2021. Accordingly, the 171.5% IDA that has become due from 01.01.2021, will get reduced to 170.4%, w.e.f. 01.04.2021. Hence, the quantum of IDA increase, that remains to be paid to the Non-Executives of BSNL is 10.5%. The CHQ of BSNLEU is pressurising the BSNL Management to take steps to pay this IDA increase at the earliest. BSNL Management has referred the matter to the DoT. (BSNLEU Website)

BSNL should pay areas of wages to its contract labours.

31 Wednesday Mar 2021

Posted by VAN NAMBOODIRI in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

Contract labours are workers who maintain their families with the meagre wages they are getting. Even delay of one month in payment puts them in much difficulty and hardship. Now, they have not been paid wages for months. As per reply in the Parliament, there is no loss for BSNL. More than Rs. 8000 crore are saved yearly on wages due to retrenchment of about 80,000 employees through VRS. Then why not pay the arrears of wages?

BSNLCCWF has demanded the BSNL management to pay the wage arrears at the earliest.
