To Shri A.N. Rai, Director (HR), BSNL, Bharat Sanchar Bhawan, Janpath, New Delhi 110 001
Sir,
Sub: - Alarming situation in Jamshedpur SSA of Jharkhand Circle - Reg.
I wish to bring to your kind notice that our Jharkhand Circle Union has issued notification for conducting Circle wide hunger strike from 28th May, 2013 to 30th May, 2013. The Circle Union is forced to give call for this programme because of the suffocation that has been created in Jamshedpur District, due to the non- settlement of staff grievances as well as the vindictive actions of the GM, Jamshedpur. Even since Shri B.N. Singh, took over charge as GM, Jamshedpur, he is trying to crush BSNL Employees Union, through vindictive measures. He is least bothered about the grievances of the employees. Around 100 contract workers are on struggle in Jamshedpur, since 1st April, 2013, due to the non-implementation of the orders of the Corporate Office on minimum wages, EPF and ESI. Instead of settling the genuine grievances of the workers, the Jamshedpur administration has retrenched 20 workers. This struggle has created a serious situation in Jamshedpur. The services are affected and work load of the regular employees has unbearably increased. Other grievances of the employees which seriously affect their morale is the non-implementation of NEPP in ETR, non-implementation of promotion from RM to TM etc. Further, the shri B.N. Singh is having a grudge over BSNLEU, due to the developments that have taken place when he was the GM, Bongaigaon. Hence, he is victimizing the Union leaders by issuing charge sheets. It is a matter of shame that he is abusing the employees in filthy language. He is openly patronizing another union and is trying to crush BSNLEU by adopting divide and rule tactics. The situation in Jamshedpur is alarming. Hence, I request you to kindly intervene and help to restore normally. Thanking you, Yours sincerely
