After AUAB meeting with CMD, DIR(HR) and DIR(CM), AUAB
decided to defer tomorrow’s Hunger Strike:
CMD and Directors invited AUAB for discussions. In the morning
discussions held with Director (HR) and Director(CM) followed by meeting with the
CMD at 3 PM. In the meeting with CMD and AUAB, CMD assured to make the salary
payment by 23.10.2019. Further CMD informed that Govt is taking very positive
steps for the Revival of BSNL irrespective of objections from various quarters
and it is in the advanced stage. At this stage going for agitation may weaken
the efforts of Secretary/DoT and CMD, CMD informed AUAB. In view of the
developments, CMD and Directors appealed to withdraw tomorrow’s Hunger Strike.
Considering the appeal from the new CMD, Director(HR) and the developments on
Revival plan, AUAB decided to defer tomorrow’s Hunger Strike.
After observing the developments during next week, AUAB will decide the
future course of action in the meeting scheduled on 30.10.2019.
HUNGER
STRIKE on 18-10-2019 by AUAB:
Make
the programme a resounding success.
The main demand is speedy revival of BSNL and other
demands are linked with that. The Hunger Strike tomorrow is a good beginning
where the General Secretaries, Circle Secretaries and District Secretaries are
leading the Hunger strike at Corporate Office, Circle and SSA levels
respectively. Other activists also can join the Hunger Strike.
Lunch hour demonstrations are to be organised at all
the places on same day, involving the entire Executives and Non-Executives of
BSNL. Almost all the Unions and Associations joined together on this critical
issue of Revival of BSNL forgetting all the differences.
The success of any agitation depends on the
participation and this is the occasion to show our solidarity. It is for our
survival, for our bread and butter, all the employees should understand that. If
the Revival package is not decided by Diwali as promised, we have to gear up
for the biggest struggle in November and this will be the run up to that agitation.
We have to send the right message to the Govt.
Demands
1. Immediate
payment of the September salary. Timely payment of salary every month.
2. Payment of
contract/casual workers wages, electricity bills, rentals etc.
3. Revival of
BSNL by immediate allocation of 4G spectrum, extension of financial assistance/
soft loan and approval for BSNL’s Land Monetisation policy.
4. Settlement
of 3rd Pay Revision, Pension Revision and 30% Superannuation benefits.
5. Payment
towards Banks, LIC premium, Societies, GPF etc.
Relay Hunger Fast from 04-08 November and Indefinite Fast from 11.11.19:
The CHQ OBs and CSs should reach New Delhi by
03.11.2019 evening. Other activists joining the Hunger Fast may reach by
04.11.2019 morning.
GS writes to Shri P. K. Purwar, CMD, BSNL:
GMs and PGMs posted to SSAs having less than 20,000
connections are not at all justified. SSAs having more than 1 lakh connections
are not having GM, SSAs with 3,000 connections have GM! SSAs having less than
20,000 connections can be headed by TDMs or TDEs and all the excess ITS
officers working in BSNL on deployment basis can be repatriated immediately and
have huge savings. HR activities in BSNL require full review.
On one side BSNL is struggling to pay the salary to its employees and
working for the retrenchment of its own employees. On the other hand, BSNL unnecessarily
keeping excess officers on deputation from DoT and paying them.
Congratulations !!!
