Sub: Notice for massive dharna on 11th August, 2009 at SSA / Circle level and 48-
hours strike on 19-20 August, 2009 for settlement of wage revision and other
demands - regarding
Sir,
This is further to my letter of even number dated 7th September, 2009 under which
your attention was drawn to the incidents of preventing non-striking employees from entering
the office premises and not allowing the office premises to be opened at certain places with
the request to advise the members of your union to act in such a manner that does not
adversely affect the image of the organization and does not put the customers to any
inconvenience.
2. Chief Controller of Accounts in the Ministry of Communication & IT at Bhopal has
taken a serious view of the matter and has complained that even the vehicles and staff of
DOT were not allowed to enter the gate of BSNL Bhavan during the strike period on 19-20
August, 2009. He has also requested for suitable instructions to the unions to avoid
recurring of such a situation in future.
3. In the given circumstances, I once again request you to advise the members of your
union to ensure that during any dharna, demonstration or strike, the non-striking employees
are not prevented either from entering the office premises or performing their duties; and
entrance of the buildings / office premises are not forcibly kept closed, failing which, I am
afraid, the management would be left with no other alternative but to take other
administration actions including de-recognition of the union.
Yours faithfully,
(Shakeel Ahmad)
