To,

All CHQ Office Bearers, Circle Secretaries

District Secretaries and Affiliates.

Dear Comrade,

During the Covid-19 situation, BSNL management has issued orders curtailing medical reimbursement and medical allowance to pensioners and employees. April 2020 salary for BSNL employees is not paid till date. Contract workers have not been paid wages for about one year. The central government and certain state governments are in the process of increasing working hours from 8 to 12, trampling upon the hard won rights of the workers.

On these issues, BSNL Employees Union has given call to organise Lunch Hour Demonstrations on 21st May, 2020.

AIBDPA CHQ expresses it full support and solidarity to the progamme.

AIBDPA CHQ calls upon all the Circle, District and Branch units to send the following e-mail to Secretary DOT and CMD BSNL during the week starting with 24th May 2020. Secretary DOT email: secy-dot@nic.in : CMD BSNL email: cmdbsnl@bsnl.co.in

To

The Secretary, DOT, Sanchar Bhawan, New Delhi

The CMD BSNL, Bharat Sanchar Bhawan, New Delhi

  1. Honour the ILO decision. Do not increase working hours from 8 to 12 per day.
  2. Immediately disburse salary of BSNL employees for April, 2020.
  3. Immediately pay the wage arrears of contract workers. Do not retrench contract workers through outsourcing of works.
  4. Withdraw the decision to reduce Outdoor Treatment ceiling from 23 days to 15 days’ pay.

Yours Fraternally,
