Mumbai, Nov 29 : Bharat Sanchar Nigam
Ltd (BSNL) employees union would go on an indefinite strike from
December 3 over non-issuance of the third pay revision.
In a letter to Union Communications
Minister Manoj Sinha on November 28 (Wednesday), the union sought a
level-playing field for the company in comparison to other players in
the telecom sector.
“Thousands of workers (Non-Executives
and Executives of BSNL) are retiring every month. Naturally, issues of
their third pay revision are still pending despite clear commitment
given to them in that regard and that has created serious resentment
among them,” said the letter.
It further said: “They are expecting at
least 15 per cent enhancement/fitment in pay and payment of pension
contribution by BSNL and revision of pension to BSNL retirees with
effect from 01.01.2017, as made available to a number of public sector
employees and officers.”
The employee’s union also sought the allotment of 4G spectrum to BSNL.
Further, the Centre of Indian Trade
Union in a statement released in support of the demands said that the
allotment of 4G spectrum to BSNL “is being deliberately delayed by the
government to allow advantage to private telecom operators at the cost
of BSNL.”
