Coms. VAN Nambodiri, President, BSNLCCWF, G.L.Jogi, President SNEA, K.Sebastin, General Secretary SNEA and M.C.Balakrishna, AGS BSNLEU met Shri Anupam Shrivastava, CMD BSNL and demanded that Shri MSS Rao, CGM, Kerala be immediately transferred out of Kerala Circle as agreed in the meeting of the unions and management held at Thiruvananthapuram chaired by Shri N.K.Gupta, Director (CFA) on 20th August 2015. Any delay in the matter will result in further agitational programmes from 1st September 2015. It was also brought to his notice that after joining back from leave, the CGM  is creating further troubles which will adversely  affect the workers effort to improve the services. The vigilance /CBI enquiry against the officer was also pointed out. Any further day being allowed the present CGM to continue in Kerala will only result in further agitation programmes by the concerned workers..

We hope that the CMD will take immediate action in the matter by shifting the present CGM from Kerala. We congratulate the Kerala workers for their sustained struggle for getting  justice.

After much efforts by the BSNLCCWF for implementation of gratuity to the BSNL Casual labours and also taking up the matter in the Parliamentary Standing Committee and several rounds of discussion with the BSNL Management, the BSNL Managing Committee has approved the same. This has to go to the BSNL Board for approval, before necessary orders are issued.

This is a great achievement for the casual labours. Congratulations to BSNLCCWF!

One of the major decisions of the strike agreement between the BSNL Circle Management and BSNLCCWF, BSNLEU and SNEA that the wages of the contract workers will be increased by Rs. one hundred per day is yet to be implemented, resulting in the continuation of the struggle. The agreement has been reached after detailed discussion as a result of the sustained struggles of the workers. Even by increasing the wages by Rs. 100, the wages of the contract workers will be far below that of the ordinary daily workers in Kerala.

We demand the management to implement the agreement without any delay.

Against the non-implementation and violation of the Strike agreement made between the Circle management and BSNLCCWF, BSNLEU and SNEA, all the three unions have started Non-Cooperation from 12th August 2014.

The violation of the agreement seems to be a deliberate attempt to provoke the workers and make them go on further agitation, so that the charges against the management for  its inefficiency can be shelved and also the private telecom companies can benefit.

Casual and Contract Labour Union (CCLU), Kerala, has given notice to the BSNL Management that the casual contract workers in Kerala Circle, BSNL, will go on Indefinite Strike from 3rd August 2015, against the victimisation of workers, non-implementation of the assurances given after  the earlier strike, increase of minimum wage etc. The CCLU leaders have been on hunger strike for more than  last three weeks, but the BSNL Circle Management is taking an adamant stand and victimising the workers.

It is in this context that the Circle Union of CCLU( Affiliated to  BSNLCCWF) has taken the decision to go on indefinite strike from 3rd August 2015.

BSNLEU and SNEA are also going on agitation against victimisation of their leaders and workers for having supported the struggle of the casual and contract workers. BSNLCCWF CHQ expresses its full-hearted thanks to both the unions for the solidarity and active support.

We congratulate the workers for the decision to go on struggle to achieve the justified demands. BSNLCCWF CHQ demands the CMD BSNL to immediately intervene, discuss the issue with the Federation and settle the same.

The Hunger Strike by the CCLU leaders in Kerala has reached the 23rd day. Both the CCLU and BSNLEU leaders are on Hunger Strike demanding increased minimum wage, upgrading the workers to skilled cadres etc. No fruitful discussion has taken so far. Instead victimization is continuing. BSNLEU comrades been issued with dies-non and show cause notices. SNEA District Secretary has been transferred for supporting the agitation.  Circle office-bearers of BSNLEU are being victimised.

On the other hand more and more support and solidarity is coming for the fully justified struggle from the workers and from many other trade unions. Many comrades sitting on hunger strike have been hospitalised. The struggle is getting more and more momentum.

Com.V.A.N.Namboodiri, President, BSNLCCWF and Patron BSNLEU, who is in UK contacted Shri Anupam Shrivastava, CMD BSNL today and intimated the serious situation in Kerala due to the adamant stand taken by the CGM  and asked to intervene and settle the issue. CMD stated he has already spoken to the CGM in the matter. He stated that the CGM has been asked to discuss with the union to settle the issue.

UP(East) Casual Contract Workers on Struggle

As per decision of the BSNL Casual Contract Workers Federation, UP(East) Circle, dharnas participated by a large number of casual contract workers were held in the SSA head quarters on 21-22 July demanding payment of wages for the last many months, payment of minimum wage, implementation of ESI, EPF etc. Despite many representations wages for 6-7 months are yet to be paid in most of the SSAs. Not even one half of the Minimum wage fixed by the Labour Department is paid. Brutal exploitation is continuing, despite clear orders from the CMD BSNL based on the labour laws.

It is against this brutal exploitation that the dharna has been organised.

We heartily congratulate the workers for the excellent dharna. We demand the BSNL Management to accept the demands of the workers and implement the government decisions on payment of wage, EPF, ESI etc.
