Seminars on financial viability of BSNL

      The circle unions of Tamil Nadu & Chennai telephones have decided to conduct seminars at Chennai, Madurai, Coimbatore and Trichy on the financial viability of BSNL. Of late there is a feeling among our employees that the financial position of BSNL is very precarious which has resulted in the denial of  bonus and payment of only 50% of GPF advance applied etc, etc. Naturally this demoralizes our employees and certain people tend to press panic button. Hence to explain the actual financial position of BSNL and the causes for bad financial position & the steps required to improve the financial position of the BSNL these seminars are being planned.  

    It is our duty to expose the policies of the govt among the general public who are the owners of the BSNL so that the attempts to destroy this public sector is opposed and stopped with the support of the people. Similar campaigns were conducted in the past by Bank employees and Insurance employees when their industry was affected by the policies of the govt. We wish to create awareness among our employees and inform the general public also about the evil designs of the UPA govt. By this we can remove the apprehensions about the future in the minds of our employees. We are trying to rope in Members of parliament, Economic experts and the senior executives of BSNL for these seminars so that they are useful and purposeful.

      The seminar at Chennai will be held on 5th May 2011 in which Com.D.Raja, MP (CPI) and top executives of the BSNL will participate.

Deputy. General Secretary NFTE BSNL
