ISSUES

v
CALENDAR OF
PROGRAMMES
As
per the decision arrived at in the meeting held on 20.11.2013 at
Chennai, the notice of strike dated 02.12.2013 was served by
UFBU to Chairman, IBA with a copy to CLC[Central], New Delhi and
Chiefs of all Banks, for realising the demands mentioned herein
above.
The
following programmes of actions are to be adhered to by our State
Committees/Units
| 05.12.2013 | Letter to IBA, by State Committees and affiliated Units |
| 06.12.2013 | Mass demonstration in State Capitals and other major centres |
| 16.12.2013 | Badge wearing |
| 17.12.2013 | Mass demonstrations, rallies, processions in all centres |
| 18.12.2013 | ALL INDIA STRIKE – Rallies/Demonstrations |
While
the constituent Unions have submitted the Joint Charter of Demands on
30.10.2012 to IBA, IBA assured to settle the issue of wage revision
at the earliest and even the date of concluding the wage settlement
was set on 14.08.2013.
The
attitudes of the IBA, Government of India and Reserve Bank of India
are clearly against the interest of Bank workforce, interest of the
Nation and above all interest of depositors, who have invested hard
earned savings in the Public Sector Banks.
Inspite
of “Standing Committee of Finance” have opposed the proposal of
granting new licences to corporates, RBI is bent upon going ahead
with the exercise. Public Sector Banks have stood the
test of the times under the Regulatory regime and they are the nation
buildings instruments. These Institution are to be
protected, preserved and also promoted.
Hence,
we call upon the affiliates and State Committees to implement the
programmes with utmost seriousness, so as, the authorities to feel
the heat of the agitation in full measure.
ONWARD
MARCH TO ALL INDIA BANK STRIKE ON 18.12.2013.
Unity,
Struggles, Progress our watchword
Let
us face the challenges unitedly.

Dear
Sir,
You
are well aware that the previous wage settlement has expired on
31-10-2012 and hence a revised settlement has become due from
1-11-2012. In order to negotiate the revised wages and
service conditions of bank employees and officers, all the Unions
under the banner of United Forum of Bank Unions have submitted their
common charter of demands in October, 2013. Even the formal
negotiations were started in February, 2013, so far only 5 rounds of
discussions have taken place and further, IBA has not so far come out
with their offer on the demands raised by the Unions.
It
will be appreciated that the alarming and unabated price rise have
seriously eroded the income of the employees and hence the wage
revision has become all the more important. The Consumer Price
Index has gone up by almost 2400 points under (1960=100) Index series
since November, 2007. Hence wage revision to catch up with the
high inflation and price rise has become an urgent necessity.
Similarly,
the workload in the bank branches has gone up substantially due to
increase in total volume of business and also due to non-provision of
adequate staff and officers in the branches. Employees and
officers are working under a lot of stress and strain. The job
profile of the staff has also undergone a change and all these
require to be properly remunerated with adequate increase in wages.
For this reason also the wage increase has become important.
But
unfortunately, the IBA is delaying the Settlement and during the last
one year, not even their minimum offer has been indicated to the
Unions.
In
view of the delay and the casual approach of the IBA, it has become
necessary to express our protest over the delay and to demand wage
revision settlement.
Accordingly,
at the call of United Forum of Bank unions, all the employees and
officers in the Banks will be observing a day’s protest strike on
18th December, 2013.
While
endorsing the strike call, we demand of the IBA to expedite the
negotiations in a time-bound manner and conclude the settlement
immediately.
Thanking
you,
Yours
faithfully,
[GENERAL
SECRETARY]
