The stubborn and negative approach of the government and DoT has created a situation that AUAB is compelled to go ahead with the 3 days strike from 18th February, 2019. AUAB has tried their level best to avert the strike and the DoT is not prepared to reciprocate. The government has completely failed to implement the assurances given by the Hon’ble Minister to AUAB leaders on the eve of the indefinite strike from 03-12-2018. He had given the assurances as follows;
- Pension revision will be delinked from wage revision.
- ,Immediate action for allotment of 4 G spectrum to BSNL.
- Early settlement of the longstanding issue of pension contribution on actual pay.
- Wage revision after BSNL submits a viable proposal
The governments’ intention to weaken and eliminate BSNL has come to the fore. So, Comrades this is a struggle of do or die and we have the great tradition of fighting against the injustice.
The pensioners should join en mass with the striking workers at this crucial fight for not only the genuine demand of the pensioners and workers but also for the protection of our beloved BSNL.
