Organise protest day on 01.10.2019.

01^st October is the BSNL Foundation Day of our beloved BSNL. It is extremely unfortunate that the employees are forced to observe protest day on BSNL’s foundation day on 01.10.2019. Employees are not being paid salary, the Company is not able to even pay electricity bills, contract workers are not paid wages for the past 8 months and the revenue of the Company is going down drastically every month, due to the anti-BSNL attitude of the people who are in power. Much is being talked about the allotment of 4G spectrum to BSNL and revival of the Company, for the past several months. However, nothing has happened. As a result, BSNL’s condition is deteriorating fast. Hence, BSNLEU, SNEA, AIBSNLEA, BSNL MS, BSNL ATM and BSNLOA have called upon the BSNL employees to observe protest day on 01^st October, 2019. Lunch hour demonstrations should be organised. Reports and photographs may please be sent to the CHQ.

AIBDPA HAS ALREADY GIVEN A CALL TO OBSERVE INTERNATIONAL PENSIONERS DAY ON 01-10-2019. BUT IT IS EQUALLY IMPORTANT TO JOIN THE PROTEST ACTION AT THIS CRUCIAL JUNCTURE WHEN THE MODI GOVERNMENT IS MAKING ALL ILL CONCEIVED EFFORTS TO KILL BSNL. THEREFORE CHQ REQUESTS ALL OUR UNITS TO INITIATE SUITABLE ACTION TO PARTICIPATE THE PENSIONERS IN THE LUNCH HOUR DEMONSTRATION ON 01-10-2019.
