CIRCULAR NO.81 22nd OCTOBER, 2012
TO ALL AFFILIATES & MEMBERS:
UNIFORM HOLIDAYS UNDER
CHENNAI GRID BASED CTS - UNILATERAL INSTRUCTION OF RBI WITHDRAWN
Our attention was drawn to the decision / instructions
given to all the Banks under Chennai Bankers Clearing House by Reserve Bank of
India, Chennai Office to adopt uniform holidays with a view to operationalise
the Grid based Cheque Truncation System. We had taken up the matter with The
General Manager, Regional Office, Reserve Bank of India, CHENNAI vide our
letter No.1481/142/12 dated 17.10.2012 copy of which was circulated to all our
affiliates through AIBOC Circular No.79 Dt.18.10.2012. The UFBU had also taken
up the matter with the Chairman, Indian Banks Association vide its letter dated
17.10.2012, since the unilateral instruction of working on holidays is an violation
of the bilaterally negotiated settlement between the Banks and the Unions. The
local chapter of the UFBU also met the General Manager of RBI, Chennai on
17.10.2012 and submitted a memorandum requesting him to restore the holidays as
per the NI Act.
We are happy to inform all our affiliates that the
Reserve Bank of India, has since withdrawn its unilateral instructions and the
standing committee of the Chennai Bankers Clearing House at its meeting on 18th
October 2012 decided that the Chennai Grid based CTS will not function on the
dates which are holidays declared under NI Act by the state Government of Tamil
Nadu.
Comrades, we have once again proved that only collective
action by the Bank Unions can protect the Trade Union Rights. Let us remain
united in all our struggles.
With Revolutionary greetings,
