BSNL To Conduct Opinion Poll Regarding IPO Among Employees - Sep 16, 2008

The state-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd will shortly conduct an opinion poll among employees on the proposed IPO before calling the unions for nrgotiations.

According to CMD of BSNL, Mr. Kuldeep Goyal, "On the BSNL intranet sites, employees have overwhelmingly welcomed the IPO. They have also asked that an opinion poll should be conducted. Keeping in view the sentiments of the staff we will conduct an electronic poll,"

The poll would ask the employees whether or not they support the IPO and certain unions are opposing the proposed IPO.

Earlier, the BSNL Employees Union had warned the management against proceeding with the IPO and threatened to strike work, arguing that the proposal for 10 per cent equity dilution in BSNL was devoid of any merit
