BSNL Employees Union, the Main Recognised Union, has applied for participation in the Membership Verification for recognition of unions to be held on 10th May 2016. Shri A.M.Gupta, GM(Restructuring) has been appointed as the Returning Officer. The verification by secret ballot will take place on 10th May and results declared on 12th May 2016.

This is the seventh Membership Verification in BSNL, the first starting from 2002. BSNLEU won in all the verifications except the first, which it lost to NFTE for a small % of votes. Consequent to the change in the Recognitions Rules, now there are two recognised unions BSNLEU and NFTE, the Main and Second Recognised Unions, respectively.

All India, Circle, SSA and Branch functionaries as also common workers have to be in the campaign to ensure the BSNLEU win with a good margin. 50% or should be the target of BSNLEU in this verification, which is possible if  our comrades work in a planned manner meeting all the workers and explaining the gains achieved under BSNLEU leadership.

Let us start our campaign forthwith.

Greetings and Thanks to our members to Well Wishers

Dear Comrades,

 The polling for VI Membership Verification in BSNL will be  over by 1800 hours today, 16th April, 2013. The polling all over India has been peaceful according to the reports received so far. The results will be declared by 18th April, 2013 and it will be known which is / are the recognized union / unions.

The election process in BSNL in all the last 5 verifications has been peaceful and disciplined and this verification also has been the same. We congratulate the BSNL workers for the excellent peaceful performance.

This election is special in many ways. This is being conducted as per the BSNL New Recognition Rules instead of the Code of Discipline on the basis of which earlier verifications have been done. As per the latter, only one union which gets maximum number of votes will be recognized. The New Recognition Rules provide for recognition for those unions which gets more than 15% votes. But if one single union gets more than 50% of total votes, then it will be the sole recognized union. Whether one or more unions are recognized, all those unions which get more than 7% of votes will be eligible for proportionate seat in the National / Circle / Local councils.

Accordingly if BSNLEU gets more than 50% of votes, then it alone will get recognition. There is all probability for the same.

For the last two-three months, all the unions have been on the campaign trail holding hundreds of meetings all over India, explaining their position on demands, viewpoints etc. All office/exchange premises were full of posters, flex boards, notices and other propaganda materials. It was just like a festival time.

At last today the voting has taken place after the long wait. The voting will be over by 1800 hours and the ballot papers will be kept in safe custody till 18th April. The ballot papers will be counted and results announced on the same day by the Returning Officer in the Corporate Office, Delhi.

Since the voting is almost over, there is no meaning in predicting to results. However, from all the reports available, it is certain that BSNLEU / United Forum will win and win with more than 50% of votes.

My Hearty Congratulations and Revolutionary Greetings to all the Comrades, members and well wishers for their solid support in the verification!

Conduct VI Membership Verification without delay

The V Membership Verification in BSNL for recognition of the majority union was conducted on 1st February 2011, result declared on 4th February and the recognition granted to the majority union, BSNL Employees Union, on 14th February. The period of recognition is for two years from 14th February 2011 to 13th February 2013. Hence the VI Membership Verification should be conducted in such a way as to ensure that there is no vacuum after 13th February 2013, without any recognised union after 13th February 2013 to represent the problems of the workers.

Today is 6th November 2012 and there are only three months left for the completion of the VI Membership Verification. It took more than four months for the verification process  last time from 16th September 2010, on which date the meeting of all unions were held to finalise the dates of the verification. The letter calling for nomination of unions for participation in the verification was issued on 01-10-2010 and notification for conduct of verification issued on 01-12-2010 and election conducted on 1st February 2011. It took four and half months last time. Now there are only four months left for the process.

BSNLEU demanded for change of rules so that proportionate representation can be ensured. But no progress has been made in the matter. BSNLEU cannot wait for more time since the recognition will be over by 13th February 2013. As such BSNLEU has no other option but demand the management to start the process of Membership Verification immediately. And as per the decision of the Central secretariat meeting of the union held today,  the union has demanded the management to start the process immediately. The United Forum partners have also agreed to the decision of the BSNLEU.

The time has come to organise the campaign for the VI Membership Verification in right earnest. As at present BSNLEU has full confidence in the workers that they will support BSNLEU which has sincerely taken up the issues of the workers, fought for the defence of BSNL, and won many achievements for the BSNL workers.
