BSNL Employees Union asks CMD to hold regular interactions for company’s revival

BSNL Employees Union has urged the company’s chairman and managing director to hold regular interactions with the unions, like his predecessor did, for early revival of the loss-making public sector firm.

BSNL CMD PK Purwar, however, said he keeps meeting unions, employees and even individual employee for their suggestions and advice.

In a letter to Purwar, seen by PTI, the union said in mid-2016, BSNL management, under the then CMD Anupam Shrivastava showed inclination to involve unions and associations in the management’s initiatives “night free calling” and “all India free roaming” where employees went beyond their duty hours to popularise the schemes resulting in increase in company’s subscriber base.
