New Delhi, Aug 19 - State-run telecom major Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) has said a two-day strike by its employees starting Wednesday would not affect its operations.
'BSNL has made adequate arrangements to ensure that telecom services rendered to our esteemed customers remain uninterrupted,' a company statement said Wednesday.
Around 150,000 workers are to participate in the two-day strike, demanding a higher wage revision.
According to officials of BSNL Employees Union, the company management has offered 30 percent wage revision to workers, while higher officials have received 60-70 percent hike.
Apart from the higher wage hike, the other demands are regularisation of around 4,000 casual contract labourers and implementation of a promotion policy.
Meanwhile, an indefinite strike by around 10,000 engineers at BSNL demanding absorption of officers who were deputed from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) entered its second day Wednesday.
BSNL said the issue of absorption of group A officers was under active consideration of the government and would likely be finalised soon.
