BSNL Management Committee approves proposal to settle Wage Revision with 15% fitment.

After the One Day Strike, held on 27.07.2017, in a meeting held with the unions and associations, shri Anupam Shrivastava, CMD BSNL, told that the BSNL Management would once again send a proposal to the government, recommending settlement of Wage Revision to BSNL employees, w.e.f., 01.01.2017. Accordingly, it is learnt that the BSNL Management Committee has now approved a proposal to be sent to the government. As per this proposal, the Management wants to give Wage Revision to the employees with 15% fitment and the allowances are to be frozen (means allowances will not be increased, based on Wage Revision.) This is really a positive step taken by the BSNL Management. This proposal will go to the BSNL Board for approval. We sincerely appreciate the CMD BSNL, as well as the Management Committee, for taking such a step. At the same time, we also like to caution the employees. They should not have any illusion that, the Wage Revision is going to be automatically settled, based on this proposal of the Management. We wish to emphatically tell the employees that the government is firm in not settling Wage Revision for BSNL employees. Only through serious united struggles, we can get Wage Revision. Let us get prepared for that.
