During our Services, we had seen that officers come to the negotiation tables with clear understanding of the issues and with clear decisions. If they offered something it was authoritative.
Now situation is changed.
On 30th January 2019, the DoT officers offered pay revision to BSNL staff with 5% fitment benefit. Very next day same officers told that even 5% is difficult.
Ultimately, forced to the wall, the Staff Unions have served notice for three days strike from 18-2-2019.
