The SAVE BSNL Campaign is on the move and strengthening. The Circle Conventions have already held in Chennai, T.Nadu, UP(E), Punjab, Kerala, A.P., Karnataka, Bihar, Rajasthan, NE-I, NE-II and TF Jabalpur. The Convention is fixed in  M.P. All these Conventions have been well attended and the All India leaders who participated spoke in detail and explained the demands as also the need to organise the Parliament March on 25th February and Indefinite Strike from 17th March 2015 a complete success. The signature campaign on the memorandum to be submitted to the Prime Minister is also being organised.

But still majority of the  circles are yet  to conduct the Conventions. The Signature Campaign has not caught steam. So far, none of the signatures collected have been received by the Forum. Except in a few circles, the Campaign has not started seriously. It should start immediately and all the signatures collected should reach the National Forum at least at the time of the Parliament March so that it can be codified and submitted to the Prime Minister.

SAVE BSNL, SAVE NATION !

So far only three circle level conventions of SAVE BSNL CAMPAIGN have been conducted. They are in T.Nadu, Chennai and UP (East). A few others as in Punjab and Kerala are fixed. What about other circles? The General Secretaries and Circle Secretaries are requested to take the matter seriously and organise the same at the earliest, so that the message goes down effectively amongst the workers.

The collected signatures from the people should be arranged and sent to the Convener at the earliest so that the same can be presented to the Prime Minister on the day of the Parliament March on 25th February 2015.

SAVE BSNL – SAVE NATION

The meeting of the Forum of BSNL Unions/Associations held today, 15th January 2015, decided to mobilise maximum workers to the Parliament March on 25th February 2015. It is also decided to effectively organise the SAVE BSNL Campaign among the public. Campaign materials will be prepared by the Forum and circulated.

The following State level Conventions have been fixed as part of the SAVE BSNL Campaign: Chennai (29-01-2015), T.Nadu(30-01-2015), Lucknow, UP(E)(02-01-2015) and Ludhiana, Punjab (04-02-2015). The dates for the other circles are being finalised.

Next meeting of the Forum will be held at 11.00 AM on 19th January 2015 at BSNLMS Office.

The private  telecom operators and the corporate sector have been stating that the telecom industry was in much distress and difficulty in 2014, by the delay in auction of the spectrum, tax issue of Vodafone, Nokia etc. and also non-governance. Now their spokesmen are predicting that 2015 will be a good year since the situation is being changed lately. The issue of Insurance ordinance, Ordinance of Coal Mine Auction etc. has gladdened the corporate and big business.

What about BSNL and its workers? The aggressive implementation of the anti-labour acts, privatization and disinvestment of PSUs, PPP in Railways, Increase of FDI in Insurance sector are againt the people of this country. The Modi government will continue this line.

What the BSNL Workers can do to strengthen BSNL and make it a best service provider to the people. Maximum effort on the part of each and every worker is necessary.

While strongly opposing the anti-BSNL and anti-PSU policy of the government and the inefficiency of the top management, the workers and their organisations have to work as crusades for a better service to the customers despite equipment crunch and difficulties being created by the government and the management. Provide the best service with the available infrastructure and fight for getting more equipment  and infrastructure.

2015 is a crucial year in the revival of BSNL. The Forum of BSNL Unions and Associations have planned for serious struggles for the Revival of BSNL and for better service. It is not a ritual one. The BSNL workers have improved the services, but  much more has to be done. It is a crusade and we have to involve ourselves for the important task.

LET 2015 be a Year of  Revivlal of BSNL. SAVE BSNL Campaign should be strengthened.
