Dear Comrade,
It is understood that your organization is not attending the meetings of the Joint Action Committee as per the decisions of the BSNL Workers Alliance.
As you are fully aware, JAC was formed to bring all the BSNL Unions/Associations together so that common issues can be taken by it and resort to agitation whenever necessary. In the past, JAC has been able to settle many issues and have fought against the anti-worker decisions of the Government and management. It was only due to the strong actions of the JAC that so far VRS, disinvestment etc. could not be implemented in BSNL. The strikes organized in April and December 2010 has helped in solving the Pension Revision and many other issues.
Now a very serious situation has arisen regarding the future of BSNL and its workers. The BRPSE has recommended VRS, reduction in retirement age from 60 to 58 years, as also reduction of staff. The JAC in its meeting held on 29th March (today) has decided to resort to agitational programmes in protest against these anti-worker recommendations. As the first step, it is decided to organize Lunch hour demonstrations protesting against VRS, reduction in retirement age etc.
On behalf of the JAC, I would request you to rejoin the JAC so that, just like earlier, all of us could jointly take up major issues and resort to agitation when necessary. I hope you would consider the request favorably.
With Warm Regards,
Yours Fraternally,
V.A.N.namboodiri
Convener.
To
The General Secretary/ Secretary General,
