Whether strike by JAC will be successful?

FNTO views on JAC:
JAC Meeting
JAC Meeting held on 22.11.2010 at BSNLMS Office reviewed the progress over our strike demands.  FNTO expressed that the following factors should be kept in mind while deciding to go on strike as per schedule or otherwise.
1.         DoT committee on Pitroda Recommendations has duly addressed two crucial issues of disinvestment and VRS and has decided not to go ahead with Pitroda Recommendations on these issues.
2.         A new telecom minister has just taken over and sometime had to be given o him for looking into the pending issues.
             However, the general consensus among Unions and executive associations was for strike as per schedule if there is no serious   intervention from the Government or Chief Labour Commissioner.
Comments: FNTO has openly said in the JAC meeting that a new Telecom Minister has been appointed, VRS and Disinvestment -the govt. is not going ahead regarding implementation immediately. 
It was also openly said that these factors may be taken before going in for 3 days strike.  After expressing the views, it is clear from the above article, that FNTO has accepted the majority unions views and has started preparing for 3 days strike as called by JAC. 

The Tamil nadu JAC was also convened and FNTO was also a party to the Tamil Nadu JAC circular. 

What made BSNLEU to comment that "Some have started floating the idea that a new minister has been appointed, disinvestment will be done after some"

Only from the FNTO web, it is clear that this statement was made by FNTO in the JAC meeting. Whether other unions have also expressed the same view?

What are the reasons for calling JAC?
Whether JAC is a iron citadel so that none should express their views?
Whether all have to follow the dictat as told by JAC?
Whether participating union has no freedom to express their views?
FNTO has agreed to follow the majority views and decided to participate in the 3 days strike and what is the need to comment on the matter discussed within JAC? 
FNTO successfully participated in one day strike called by all trade unions? Is it not known to all?
Whether plans are afoot to jeopardise the three days strike called by JAC?
Is this the way to scuttle the 3 days strike silently?

JAC is carry on the views of all and to implement programmes by coordinating all unions.  
Whether JAC is  to criticise other unions because of not following or toeing the line of JAC?
Unity is of paramount importance to carry struggles. Whatever be the minor skirmishes, all have to be ignored and we must try to achieve the goal. If criticising others, what is going to be in store?

Whether this comment is to make others not to participate in strike or to make more efforts to participate in the strike?

It is better to go on with the struggle to save BSNL and need not waste time in things which happen inside or outside JAC. 

Whether the strike by JAC is going to be successful or not. We will wait and see.
