The decisions of the EGoM on Revival of BSNL, the proposal for Merger of BSNL and  MTNL, formation of subsidiary companies from BSNL for land assets and towers etc. are new challenges for BSNL and its two and half lakh workers. The UPA government in its last phase is taking decisions one after another, probably thinking that it will not get another chance after the election for taking these policy decisions which are in tune with the anti-worker  neo-liberal policies which it has been continuing for the last many years.

The Unions/Associations in BSNL and have to seriously think about the situation and take suitable decisions to ensure that the interest of BSNL and its workers are safeguarded in addition to the interests of the Nation. The Forum of BSNL Unions / Associations will meet urgently to discuss these issues and take appropriate decisions.
