JAMMU, Nov 22: A large crowd of BSNL employees (both Executives and Non-Executives) took out a rally from J&K circle Office BSNL, Bahu Plaza to Divisional Commissioner’s Office and submitted a memorandum of demands, addressed to Prime Minister of India with copies to Minister of Communication and Information Technology, Cabinet Secretary, Government of India, Secretary, DOT and CMD, BSNL, New Delhi.
The rally was led by Circle secretaries of BSNL Employees Union (convener), SNEA (I), AIGETOA, AIBSNLEA and SEWA. BSNL employees who are on the path of struggle since October 11, 2012 to press for their demands regarding the immediate end of illegitimate deputation of Non-optee ITS in BSNL/MTNL to protect the viability of Government’s prestigious and strategic telecom companies BSNL and MTNL, which are fast sinking and taking steps to end decade old exploitation and discrimination of absorbed or recruited employees of BSNL and MTNL either by taking them back to DOT or immediately repatriating unabsorbed ITS to DOT and end this existing dangerous duality.
Speaking on the occasion speakers asserted that considering the critical and unquestionable significance of top management being an integral part of the BSNL and MTNL, as to give thrust momentum and direction to the companies in terms of policies, strategies, vision and leadership, Government should have started the absorption process from Group ‘A’ downwards, but ITS controlled BSNL and MTNL managements having profound concern for their job security rather than growth of the companies, started the absorption process in topsy-turvy manner from Group D, C and B onwards.
