NEXT ROUND OF TALKS WITH IBA ON 7th JUNE,2013
“UFBU meeting was held
on 23.5.2013 at New Delhi. Sri Ashwani Rana, (General Secretary of NOBW)
presided over the meeting. All the nine
constituent unions were present in the meeting.
A report on the developments since the last
meeting was placed by the Convener along with the minutes of the previous
meeting held on 31.1.2013, 22.2.2013 and 22.4.2013. He also outlined the issues to be taken up
with the Chairman of IBA in the afternoon.
The meeting deliberated and took note of the
attitude of IBA in dealing with the charter of demands on wage revision
submitted by the UFBU. The meeting
observed that even before any preliminary discussions could take place on the
demands raised by the unions, the IBA was keen to foist their issues. The meeting pointed out that while the UFBU would
always willing to discuss any issue raised by the IBA with an open mind, the
same cannot take precedence over the demands for wage revision.
The meeting also observed that the Government
continued to pursue their reforms agenda and have recently announced their
decision to issue banking license to business and corporate houses. The
pronouncements on merger and consolidation of nationalized banks as well as
merger of Associate Banks with SBI are again being repeated frequently
nowadays. The bill to allow 49% private
capital in RRBs has been introduced in the parliament recently. Banking laws are sought to be amended to
allow banks to indulge in speculative business.
Banking jobs and services are increasingly being outsourced.
Hence the meeting decided to continue our
campaign on these challenges and resort to agitation when warranted.
The meeting also decided that we must
expedite the resolution of the pending demands like compassionate appointment
scheme, 5 Day banking, etc., and also the current issues like asking employees
/ officers to attend office on holidays in the name grid-based clearing
system. The meeting also observed that
the attacks in SBI by the management have not receded and the issue needs to be
taken up by UFBU.
The Convener summed up the discussions as
under:
1. As
per the discussions of the meeting, the
UFBU would pursue the demands on wage revision in the next round of talks with
IBA scheduled on 07.06.2013.
2. The
issues like adequate representation to unions while participating in the talks
with IBA, change of procedure in allowing new unions for negotiations,
compassionate ground appointment scheme, introduction of 5 Day banking,
problems faced by employees and officers under grid-based Cheque Truncation
System for clearing of cheques, proper guidelines to be issued on adhering to
KYC norms to avoid harassments of innocent officers, managers, etc. would be
taken up with the IBA Chairman during the meeting him in the afternoon.
It was decided that the next meeting of UFBU
will be held at Mumbai on 6.6.2013 on the eve of the next round of Bipartite
Talks with IBA to be held on 7th June.
