Comparision of 3 days strikes of 2000 and 2010<br />
Sept. 6, 7, 8 of 2000 Dec. 1, 2, 3 of 2010<br />
Strike was organised jointly by <strong>NFTE</strong>-BSNL,<br />
FNTO and BTEF under the able leadership<br />
of Com. O.P. Gupta for Safeguarding the<br />
government pension, job security and financial<br />
viability of BSNL. However the executive<br />
associations did not join this strike. BSNLEU<br />
did everything to disrupt this historic strike<br />
by not joining the strike. Three days strike<br />
resulted in protection of government pension<br />
(Rule 37A) and agreement rea<strong>ch</strong>ed for job<br />
security and financial viability of BSNL.<br />
Moreover more than one lakh casual labour,<br />
part-time employees were regularised by a<br />
single order despite the ban on recruitment.<br />
Eventhough BTEF withdraw from the strike<br />
after the very first day Com.Gupta never<br />
abused it (or) disrespected that union. Alone<br />
all the wage cut for the strike period of 3 days<br />
was not effected since there was an agreement.<br />
Joint Action Committee of all unions and associations<br />
of executives spearheaded the<br />
strike to protest against the disinvestment,<br />
retren<strong>ch</strong>ment through VRS, unbundling, reimbursement<br />
of Rs. 18500 crore to BSNL and<br />
78.2% IDA merger. Com. Namboodiri as convenor<br />
of the JAC withdrew the strike after 2<br />
days without final settlement.<br />
BSNLEU and its leadership were busy in splitting<br />
the unions and disrupting the associations<br />
during strike only to gain in the 5th membership<br />
verification. Com. Namboodiri failed<br />
to utilise the great opportunity of united strike<br />
and once again withdrew it without any agreement/settlement.<br />
