Among the 10 employees’ representatives, who are essentially part of trade unions, there are three members from Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)-affiliated Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS), along with one member each from Hind Mazdoor Sabha, Communist Party of India (M)-affiliated Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU), Trade Union Co-ordination Centre, Self Employed Women’s Association, National Front of Indian Trade Unions, a notification issued Friday said. This sums up to eight members out of 10 available positions for employees’ representatives and two posts remain vacant so far. Before this, the CBT was reconstituted in November 2018 having representatives from BMS (3 members), CITU (1 member), AITUC (1 member), Hind Mazdoor Sabha (1 member), AIUTUC (1 member), and three vacant posts of Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC). With Friday’s notification, now there are no employees’ representatives from the CPI-affiliated All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC), All India United Trade Union Centre (AIUTUC) and Congress-affiliated INTUC. Two posts remain vacant so far without the government mentioning the name of any trade union. The November 2018 notification had mentioned three vacant positions from INTUC.
