The BSNL employees and the casual contract workers in Kerala are in serious struggle. Due to the adamant and anti-worker actions of the CMD BSNL, Kerala, M.S.S.Rao, the entire section of workers are in direct action. The struggle which started by the Casual Contract Labour Union(CCLU) one month back on fully justified demands by hunger strike has now strengthened by Indefinite Strike from today, 3rd August. Both Com.K.Mohanan, Circle Secretary BSNLEU and Com. K.Sudheer, Circle President SNEA are on Hunger Strike from today against victimisation of the leaders and workers for supporting the CCLU struggle. It is also decided to go on ‘Non-Cooperation’ from 10th August onwards.
Com.VAN Namboodiri, President BSNLCCWF and Patron BSNLEU, who is in UK, called Shri Anupam Shrivastava, CMD BSNL, and informed about the serious situation, which is going to drastically affect the BSNL services in Kerala and the aftereffects to the BSNL itself. He asked the CMD to immediately intervene and direct the CGM to discuss the issues with the Unions and settle them. CMD agreed that the situation is serious and the issue has to be settled. He stated that he will immediately take necessary action.
The General Secretaries BSNLEU and SNEA in a Joint letter have also asked the CMD To intervene and settle the issue.
Congratulations to the Kerala Workers for the steadfast struggle! Your struggle is fully justified and is for the cause of the workers!
