IT IS VERY CLEAR NOW THE STAND OF BTEU BSNL IN THE RIGHT SIDE.STRIKE POSTPONED AGAIN WITHOUT NO RESULT - COMPLETELY PRE-PLANNED PROPAGANDA OF LEFT UNIONS.
THEY ARE HABITUAL TO MAKE THE EMPLOYEES FOOL AND NO OUTCOME OF STRIKE NOTICE AND SATISFIED ON BACK FOOT.
THE INDEFINITE STRIKE CALLED BY SOME UNIONS AND ASSOCIATIONS IS POSTPONED AFTER SEVERAL ROUNDS OF DISCUSSIONS WITH CMD BSNL AND DOT. THE DOT HAS ISSUED A NOTE WHEREIN IT IS CLEARLY STATED THAT THE NON EXECUTIVE UNIONS HAVE TO FIRST ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE BSNL AND THEN COME TO DOT FOR FURTHER ACTION.
FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS THE BTEU BSNL HAS BEEN HARPING ON THIS ISSUE. THERE IS AN ABNORMAL DELAY ON THE PART OF BOTH BSNLEU AND NFTE IN REACHING AN AGREEMENT.
THE UNIONS HAVE AGREED FOR THE PAY SCALES BUT NOT SIGNED THE AGREEMENT FOR OBVIOUS REASONS.
THE PAY SCALES ARE DETRIMENTAL TO THE INTERESTS OF THE LOWER CATEGORY OF EMPLOYEES AND ALSO TO THE DIRECT RECRUITS IN JE CADRE. WE HAVE GIVEN LIVE EXAMPLES YET
THE 2 UNIONS DID NOT FEEL THE PINCH OF IT.
THE 2 UNIONS BEHAVED IN A RECKLESS MANNER AND THRUST UPON THE BSNL A STRIKE WHICH NO BODY WANTED.
CALL FOR AN INDEFINITE STRIKE AT THIS JUNCTURE WAS PREMATURE. THERE WAS NO PROPER PREPARATION. MORE THAN 15 UNIONS WERE TAKEN INTO CONFIDENCE WHILE SERVING THE NOTICE DUE TO THE EGOISTIC ATTITUDE OF THE SO CALLED ELDERS IN THE FORUM.
THE 2 EXECUTIVE ASSOCIATIONS HAVE SURRENDERED THEMSELVES TO THE 2 RECOGNIZED UNIONS FOR THEIR OWN PETTY ISSUES. WHILE DISCUSSIONS WERE GOING ON THEY BROUGHT FORTH ISSUES LIKE 2 PRC LEFT OUT ISSUES. WHAT WERE THEY DOING ALL THESE 10 YEARS.
REMEMBER THE ISSUES ONLY NOW.
HOPE BETTER SENSE WILL PREVAIL ON THEM AT LEAST NOW AND ACT IN A MORE RESPONSIBLE WAY TO TAKE EVERYONE ALONG AND BUILD CONSENSUS IN ALL ISSUES
