The Chief labour Commissioner (CLC) has started conciliation in connection with the demands raised by the JAC on the 15th December Strike. The meeting was held today, 22nd December 2011, at the office of the CLC, in Shram Shakti Bhawan. From BSNL, A.N. Rai, Director (HR), N.K.Narang, PGM(SR) and others participated. Com. V.A.N. Namboodiri, Convenor, JAC ,Com. P. Abhimanyu, GS, BSNLEU are among the leaders who participated in the meeting.. DOT was also represented by Jt.DDG.

The JAC leaders clearly explained their demands with full justification. BSNL management gave its views in the matter. The meeting was inconclusive. The next meeting will be held at 11.00 hours on 31st January 2012.

The meeting had its significance since the conciliation was upgraded from the RLC to CLC, which was demanded by the JAC. Since the issues are all India based, the conciliation was with CLC earlier, which was transferred to RLC later. Other requests of the JAC that the BSNL should be represented by officers authorised to take decisions and that DOT also should be represented since issues where DOT has to take decisions are also accepted and implemented by today’s meeting.
