[08.02.2011]United Forum Circular - Congratulations and Thanks <
[07.02.2011]Make widest mobilization for the 23rd February “March to Parliament” :- As a corollary to the 7th September, 2010 Nation wide strike, the Central Trade Unions and Industrial Federations have given call for a March to Parliament on 23.02.2011. This programme is against the anti people economic policies of the government, disinvestment & privatization of the PSUs, price rise, proposal to modify the Labour Laws etc. BSNL Employees Union is a party to the decision. Hence, all Circle Secretaries are requested to mobilize the workers for the rally. Especially, the Circles nearer to New Delhi are requested to make the maximum mobilization. This is a very important task and Circle, District Secretaries are requested to implement it with due seriousness.
[07.02.2011]Recognition after 5th membership verification :- Vested interests are spreading the rumour that BSNLEU would not be given recognition due to the Kerala High Court Directive. This is totally baseless. The Kerala High Court directive does not bar the management from granting recognition to BSNLEU. Com. P. Abhimanyu, GS, BSNLEU met the Senior GM (SR) today and discussed the issue. Sr.GM (SR) assured our General Secretary that recognition order will be issued. He also stated that the court directive is not a bar for granting recognition.

[03.02.2011]
Himalayan Victory
BSNLEU has won the elections in BSNL for the record 4th time in a row. In the polling held on 1st February, 2011, BSNLEU has got 106971 votes. It has won the elections by a whopping margin of 26671 votes. BSNLEU has achieved this feat eventhough 18,000 workers have retired since the last verification. Despite forming a mega alliance consisting of nine unions, NFTE has once again bitten the dust. The workers have also taught a lesson to those ‘turncoats’ who enjoyed the fruits of the recognition till the last minute and thereafter started backbiting BSNLEU.
BSNLEU expresses it’s sincere thanks to the workers for the unflinching faith that they have reposed on it. BSNLEU also expresses it’s gratitude to the leaders and cadres who tirelessly worked for the past two months, for this historic victory. To mark this victory, CHQ calls upon the Circle, District and Branch Unions to celebrate victory day on 04.02.2011, by distributing sweets to all.
