TEXT

All our unions and members are by now aware that it has been decided to postpone the strike from 7th July, 2011 to 5th August, 2011 in view of the delayed commencement of the Parliament session. In a way, this has given us further time to campaign on our issues and demands and to further extensively mobilise our members for the sustained struggles ahead.

We have already informed the IBA, all Bank managements and the Chief Labour Commissioner, Government of India about the postponement of the strike.

As decided in our UFBU meeting, we are adding the demand: “Settle the demands of employees/officers of Regional Rural Banks, Co-operative Banks and the Bank Daily Deposit Collectors.”

The amended Strike Notice is being sent to the IBA and all other concerned authorities.  Our Unions in RRBs and Co-operatives have to serve separate Notices on their management as per their practice.

The following preparatory programmes are given for implementation by all our Unions:

i)                    Holding of State-level UFBU meetings to discuss and implement further programmes.

ii)     Memorandum signed by all employees and officers to be submitted to the Branch Manager/Incharge of the offices before 15-7-2011 (wherever this programme has already not been completed).

iii)                Deputation to the CMDs/MDs of all Banks by leaders of the UFBU constituent unions in each Bank and submitting the memorandum wherever this programme has not been undertaken so far. Joint demonstrations can be held on that day before the Central Offices of the Banks.

iv)                Meetings and Conventions to mobilize our members as well as to solicit   support of other trade unions

v)                  Display of posters before all branches/offices

vi)                Distribution of leaflets to the customers and general public about our demands

vii)              Letters from UFBU to all Central Trade Unions seeking their support and solidarity.

viii)            Letters from UFBU to political parties seeking their support to our demands.

ix)       Letters from UFBU to Members of Parliament requesting them to raise our issues in the Parliament during the session

x)                  Press meet/press release, etc between 25th and 30th July, 2011

xi)                Lunch-time evening time demonstrations in all branches/centres on 20-7-11 and 1-8-11.

xii)              Dharna in all State Capitals on 27-7-2011

xiii)            Centralised Mass Rallies/processions in all cities and towns on 2-8-2011.

xiv)            Demonstrations in all branches on 4-8-2011

ALL INDIA BANK STRIKE: 5TH AUGUST, 2011: Demonstrations and Rallies.

Comrades, the need of the hour is unity and united struggle to effectively thwart the attacks and achieve our demands. Hence, we appeal to all our unions to move together and implement the programmes successfully.

With greetings,

Yours Comradely,
