2016, BSNLCCWF, Contract Worker, Minimum Wage

The Central Trade Unions have demanded Rs. 18,000 as minimum wage for contract workers and it is one of the demands on which a one day strike will take place on 2nd September 2016. The demand for a minimum wage of Rs.15,000 has been updated to Rs. 18,000, after the VII CPC has recommended Rs.10,000 as the lowest wage on the basis of the Dr. Akroyd formula. While this demand is pending, the government is proposing Rs. 10,000 only as minimum wage to contract workers. This is discrimination and denial justice.

BSNLCCWF strongly oppose the move of the Central government to fix a minimum wage less than Rs. 18,000. It strongly demands that the minimum wage for contract workers be fixed at Rs.18,000.

Bonus is Deferred Wage – It should be restored to BSNL Employees

2016, Bonus, BSNL, BSNLEU

Bonus has been denied to the BSNL employees for the last 3-4 years on the plea that the company is in loss. Bonus is the right of workers. It is deferred wage and can not be denied on one plea or another. The Central Government employees, P and T employees etc. got Bonus after prolonged struggles starting from the Bonus Convention in 1972 organised by the Confederation of Central Government Employees and Workers led by Coms. K.G.Bose, A.S.Rajan, N.J.Iyer, K.Adinarayana and other leaders. The great Railway Strike of 1974 clinched the issue. Though the Congress government continued to deny Bonus despite strong struggles, the favourable decision came after the Janata Government came to power in 1977. Since then, the central government employees are getting Bonus, including telecom employees. After formation of BSNL, on the demand of the BSNL Employees Union for “Bonus for All”, executives also started getting bonus.

BSNL is getting revived after much effort on the part of the workers and the management. Workers have to be motivated for further progress.

BSNL Management should take the correct decision by granting at least the minimum Bonus of Rs. 7,000, which it paid earlier. Further revival, more bonus can be paid. Any decision to fool the workers by throwing down some crumbs will have only strong reaction. We demand the management to be wise and take the correct decision.

Celebrate 15th Birth Anniversary of BSNLEU in a big way!

2016, BSNLEU Day

The Central Executive Committee meeting of BSNL Employees Union held at Ahmed Nagar on 19-21 February has decided to celebrate the 15th Birth Anniversary of BSNLEU, which falls on 22nd March 2016, in a big way.

BSNLEU, the beloved organisation of the BSNL Employees, was formed on 22nd March 2001 in the National Convention held at Visakhapatnam (A.P), 15 years back. It was formed by merging 7 existing unions, including E.III, T.III, Administrative Union, Civil Wing Union, ITEU and  P&T Industrial Workers Union. It was formed in the august presence of Com.E.Balanandan, respected leader of the Working Class and President CITU, Com.K.Adinarayana, Secretary General, NFPE, Com.N.M.Sundaram, General Secretary, AIIEA and other leaders.

Veteran leaders Coms. Sisir Bhattacharjee and Moni Bose were elected Patrons. Coms. J.N.Mishra and V.A.N.Namboodiri were elected President and General Secretary respectively.

During the last 15 years, BSNLEU has continuously grown and is the recognised union since 2004. More than 50% of the entire non-executive employees are members of BSNLEU. During these years it has taken up the issues of BSNL employees effectively and settled most of the problems to the satisfaction of the workers.

The VII Membership Verification is going to be held on 10th May 2016. BSNLEU will certainly will win with the first position. But that is not sufficient. The majority in membership should be reflected in the verification with BSNLEU getting more than 50% of the total employees in BSNL. A big campaign has o be organised for this purpose.

As per the call of the Ahmednagar CEC, BSNLEU Day should be celebrated throughout the country with various programmes like rallies, meetings, seminars, symposium etc.

BSNLEU Zindbad!
