The Direct
Recruited TTAs along with other workers are wondering why SNATTA has
left the United Forum and joined with NFTE Alliance. Since the third
verification,SNATTA was with United Forum. There were two members from
SNATTA in the National Council,where many of the issues of the Direct
Recruited TTAs were discussed and settled. There was one
SNATTA leader in the Wage Revision Committee, who has signed the
agreement also. They are in the Change of Designation Committee. Their
members are in all the Circle/Local Councils where it is present. No
complaint has been received regarding nomination and if any, it has been
settled.
In the
discussion with the BSNLEU regarding next verification, the entire issues were
discussed and it seemed that their leaders were satisfied with the issues taken
and the efforts on the part of the recognised union.
Of course. there
was one issue in which understanding could not be reached. SNATTA leaders
wanted 5 seats in the National Council instead of the two seats at present.
BSNLEU is having only 4 seats. The position was explained by
BSNLEU leaders and the difficulty for increasing the seats. Is this
difference which made them to shift their alliance or something else?
But one thing is
sure. The DRTTAs understand the hectic efforts made by BSNLEU and the
achievements made by it. And it is also sure that the good majority of them
will support BSNLEU in the verification if the report coming from the circles
are correct.
