Dear Comrades,

UFBU MEETING
A meeting of the UFBU was held on 07.09.2009 at Chennai. Leaders of all the 9 constituent unions were present. The meeting was presided over by Com. K.S. Shetty.
2. The meeting congratulated the bank employees and officers for their magnificent unity and amazing militancy, thus making the 2 days’ strike on 6th and 7th August, 2009 a resounding success.
3. The meeting noted that the unity of the rank and file under the banner of UFBU has ensured the thwarting of all attempts on the part of IBA and Government to retract from offers made. The meeting took for consideration the proposals of the IBA made before the CLC on 07.08.09 and, decided to further negotiate on all components of the offer for improvements with IBA in the next round of Bipartite Talks.
4. Persuasion with the Govt.We are glad that, some of our affiliates/members are meeting the Ministers, Members of Parliament to convince on our legitimate demands under negotiations with the IBA. We are also happy that they could understand our legitimate demands and assured to pursue the issues at appropriate level. We are confident of clinching a better deal through persuasion and pressure tactics.
5. We thank all those members and affiliates who are trying relentlessly by meeting and convincing the Ministers, MPs and others for improvements in the package offered by the IBA.
6. Talks with IBA :The IBA had fixed 12th September, 2009 for the next round of Talks. However, since the date is not convenient for a few constituent unions, we have asked for a revised date for the Talks during the next week or within 10 days. As soon as the meeting is fixed and held, we shall inform you of further developments.
