SOLIDARITY TO TELECOM EMPLOYEES STRIKE

BSNL EMPLOYEES GO ON TWO DAYS STRIKE

 

NFPE CALLS UPON ITS RANK AND FILE TO EXTEND SOLIDARITY TO THE BSNL EMPLOYEES STRUGGLE

 

Dear Comrades! – The United Forum of BSNL EMPLOYEES consisting of 7 unions including the BSNL Employees Union, the major and recognised union of BSNL has served a strike notice for organising 48 Hours strike on 19^th and 20^th August 2009.

 

The Strike Notice has been served to protest against the adamant,, discriminative and lethargic attitude of the management in handling the wage negotiations. The United Forum of BSNL Employees has charged the BSNL Management that the wage negotiations have been put in cold storage by not appointing the replacement to the post of Chairman Wage Negotiating Committee for long time after the retirement of the earlier Chairman despite repeated requests from the unions.

 

The Agitating Unions have charged the attitude of the Management which had earlier allotted 70% wage rise for the officers themselves while treating the wage negotiations for the employees with discriminatory approach.

 

NFPE call upon our rank and file to extend our support and solidarity to the call given by the United Forum of BSNL Employees consisting of BSNL Employees Union; Telecom Employees Progressive Union; Bsnl Mazdoor Sangh (BPEF); All India Backward Classes Telecom Employees Sangathan; SC//ST Employees Welfare Association of BSNL; Bahujan Trade Union of BSNL; Sanchar Nigam Association of Telecom Technical Assistants by organising lunch hour demonstrations all over India in front of our work spots. NFPE also suggests our rank and file branches to invite leaders belonging to the unions in the United Forum of BSNL Employees to our above solidarity demonstrations and send Savingrams in support of the strike to the Honourable Minister of Communications & IT as follows:
