Talks failed - AUAB decides to go ahead with the strike :

 CMD BSNL and Director HR met the AUAB leaders today.

 AUAB representatives told the Management that they are prepared

 to accept 3rd Pay Revision with 5 % fitment, as offered

earlier by the DoT.

However, they demanded that this commitment should be given in

 writing by the DoT, so that the AUAB can consider deferment

of the strike.

 Even this demand of the AUAB was not accepted.

Further, the DoT has also diluted its earlier assurance

 to give DA neutralisation.

The DoT is demanding that the AUAB should

call off the strike, in view of the terror attack in Pulwama.

The Secretary, Telecom, has put a condition that

she would not meet the AUAB leaders

unless they call off the strike.

Immediately after the meeting with the BSNL Management,

all the General Secretaries of the AUAB met

 and decided to go ahead with the strike.

In the backdrop of the terror attack,

AUAB has also decided to exempt

J&K circle from the strike

 to ensure maintenance of services.

AUAB requests all the Circle

and District Unions to organise the strike powerfully.
