Along with CHQ BSNLEU comrades Swapan Chakraborty, Dy.GS, S.Chellappa, AGS, R.S.Chauhan, Org. Secretary and T.A.Biju Office Secretary, me and my wife reached Ahmednagar on February 16th noon to attend the CEC of BSNLEU. We left Ahmed Nagar in the evening of 21st February 2016 after the CEC  was over.

During all this time, from the reception at the Railway Station till saying good bye, the Ahmed Nagar and Maharashtra comrades were there to make everything easy. Whether at the Conference Hall,  or at the time of food, they were always there to help us. It was just like you were with your family. And always the presence of senior comrade and Advisor Reception Committee, Appa Saheb Gagare was there. Others were not behind.

The surprise came after General Secretary Com.P.Abhimanyu had completed his summing up and the President Com. Balbir Singh was to make his concluding speech. The Reception Committee leaders came to the stage and honoured me and my wife Pankajam (who is a BSNL Pensioner) with shawls, bouquet etc.  I felt a bit embarrassed but, I understood that they loved us and this was an expression of the same.

I express our  sincere thanks to and appreciation of the dedicated service of the Reception Committee comrades for making the CEC a complete success. Maharashtra Circle Secretary Com. Nallwade and CHQ AGS, Com. John Verghese ensured that there is nothing massing in making arrangements.

My heartfelt thanks to the Reception Committee  and Maharashtra Circle comrades!

Why BSNLEU is always the First in Membership Verification

An examination of all the membership verifications of non-executive unions conducted in BSNL since 2002, it can be seen that BSNL Employees Union is the only union which has been the recognised union since the II verification. It was a surprise that despite thousands of employees retiring every year, it increased the membership for many years.

Why BSNLEU is increasing its strength continuously which no other union is able to do? the following are some of the reasons:

  1. BSNLEU upholds the working class ideology. Since 1991 Bhopal AIC where Coms. VAN Namboodiri and Moni Bose have been elected as President and General Secretary respectively, a big change has come in the telecom unions. The reformist ideology which the earlier leadership has been imposing has been replaced by the forward, progressive and working class ideology and the workers are happy. After formation of BSNL Employees Union, it continued the great tradition of K.G.Bose. The majority of the workers have taken BSNLEU to their hearts.
  2. A trade union has as its most important task, the settlement of issues of the workers, big or small. BSNLEU since its inception has been implementing this responsibility with success. Whether it is wage revision, promotion or any other issue, BSNLEU has taken the issue and settled.
  3. BSNLEU is part of the national and international  working class. It is affiliated with CPSTU and has implemented all the calls given by the Central Trade Unions since its inception. It is affiliated to Trade Union International (Public Services) which is part of the World Federation of Trade Unions(WFTU).
  4. BSNLEU always function democratically from top to bottom. Conferences and committees are held in time and democratic discussions take place. The opinions of the members and functionaries are given importance and acted upon.
  5. As long as this connection with the workers is maintained, no union can defeat BSNLEU.
