@ GURUDAS DAS GUPTA 35-36, Deen Dayal Upadhyay Marg, Rouse Avenue, New Delhi-110002 MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT Tel, 23217320/23220264 (LOK SABHA) Fax: 23222427 Mobile 9868180640 GENERAL SECRETARY weber oct ALL INDIA TRADE UNION CONGRESS Dated 9.10.2010 Dear Shri Raja, Would you kindly refer to your 0.0. letter No. 1859/MOC&ITMIP/2010, dated 24.8.2010 regarding reviewing the recognition rules of BSNL. You had assured me “you are looking into the matter”. However on 16.9.2010 in a meeting the BSNL management announced the daies of conducting the next elections thereby closing the matter. In my last letter dated 31.7.2010 | had drawn your attention to the judgement of High Court of Madras as well as ‘Supreme Court. The Supreme Court was more forthright in their judgement. Both are against monopoly recognition, Besides, BSNL management and Dy CLC ( C) had made commitment at the time of last verification in 2008 that at the time of next verification they: will draft new set of rules. This can be verified from BSNL No. BSNL-/5-1/SR/2008, dated 18.12.2008. This is what GM(SR)-BSNL said “at the end, GM (SR) also mentioned that the management is open to. consider any change in the code of discipline in future. The new set of rules can be drafted with the consent of all the unions at the time of next membership verification for which action can be initiated approx six months in advance, to which all the unions agreed unanimously”. In his concluding remarks, DY CLC {C) further poirited out that “the code of discipline is not a rulolstatute, but is a document followed by all the arties for guidance purposes in connection with membership verifications. The organisations are free to have different code of discipline, as per their suitability and requirement, which can be taken up in some other forum but not in this forum” Keeping in view court orders referred to above and the assurance of the BSNL and CLC(C), | would request you to agree to have more unions recognised with more than 15% membership. This is within the competence of your department. Kindly do the needful. With regards, Yours sincerely, \de dy hy (Gurudas Das Gupta) Shri A.
