WARM-UP
EXERCISE TO COMMENCE ACTION PROGRAMME
Despite our repeated meetings with our
executives and communications to the management, most of the issues created by
the unilateral attempts of the management continue to remain unresolved, which
is repeated as under for the information of all the officers.
1. The
most disturbing trend is an attempt to bypass the bipartite relationship.
2. Lack
of proper HR management resulting in total chaos & confusion.
3. Management
failed to draw up proper manpower planning exercise. They want to strength only
the administrative offices not the branches which are the real profit earners.
4. The
unilateral directives in regard to the placement of Branch Managers are yet
another attempt to destabilize our bipartite relations. As per the
communication even the performers have been allowed to be belittled.
5. Cultural
erosion has taken place in bifurcating the Odisha state with two different
zones.
6. Dissent
is word banished from our Bank.
7. Trade
unionism and Adhocism is the hall mark of our management and positive human
relations are treated with disdain.
8. Management’s
attitude in unsettling all settled issues paving way for unilateral and
disorganized approach.
9. Spiral
of transfers of Officers of S-IV & above caused severe pain and disruption
in their lives, which is the goal of the management.
Friends, having exhausted all the avenues
available to realize the issues created by the management unilaterally, we are
left with no other alternative except to agitate on these issues. Hence our
Federation has decided to issue the notice to our management and the same is
reproduced hereunder:-
Non-Responsive Attitude of our Management
“Of
late it has been observed that the management is resorting to the path of
unilateralism, tries to sidetrack the majority Officers’ Federation and does
not hesitate in violating the settled policies of the Bank. The core committee
of the Federation who met sometime back had reviewed the prevalent situation in
the Bank and the attitude & approach of the management towards the Majority
Officers’ Federation and the matters related to the Officers. There was a
unanimous view that the management is taking all possible steps mainly to
target the Trade unions in the Bank. However a hope was maintained that the
management would take corrective steps in the interest of the peaceful
Industrial Relations.
An
emergent meeting of unit General Secretaries of the Federation took place at
Mumbai on 18th May 2014 to take stock of the situation and
unanimously expressed in a very silent manner and paid homage to the passing
away of Industrial relations in our Bank.
The entire Office bearers of the Federation
were of the view that the Federation has always tried its level best to
maintain utmost restraint and to have industrial peace in the Bank. At a time
when the foremost need of the hour is to improve the Business and bottom-line
of the Bank, when every effort should be concentrated on recovery of bad loans
etc, the present attitude & attempts will derail the progress of the Bank.
We are constrained to observe that the NPA’s in our Bank are increasing
alarmingly. Our Bank's gross NPA has increased from Rs.8456 crores to Rs.11500
crores showing rise of 36% over the previous year. Besides this, Bank has
effected the sale of NPA assets to the tune of Rs. 1278 crores and has also
written off Rs. 382 crores in various corporate accounts. This compelled our
Bank to make huge provisions in corporate accounts, thereby resulting into
unimagined figure of loss of Rs. 1263 crores. It is equally an attempt to pass
on the burden of these failures on the shoulders of common masses of Officers
that too lower level officers who are the pillars of the Bank.
It is
a sorry state of affair that the Bank is covering up failures of the
administration and the management is diverting everyone’s attention by
resorting to the withdrawal of facilities.
The management wants the officers to be at
its mercy, so that the management can succeed in deunionising the officers.
Unilateral changes in the transfer policy without discussing with majority
Federation is a matter of distress for us. This is a clear attack on the fundamental
rights of trade union.
In view of the above alarming circumstances,
total unconcerned approach and lack of initiatives on the part of the
management for resolving the issues, our Federation has been forced to resort
to organizational actions. The first phase of the action will include:
1. To
present Memorandum to the Central office /Zonal offices & Regional offices.
2. To
send protest mails / sms to GM (HR)
The total situation and the approach of the
management would be reviewed in next meeting of General Secretaries of the
Federation to be held at appropriate time to decide further course of action.
We still hope that the management would take
urgent corrective measures to save the industrial relations from deterioration
in the interest of the Bank”
Friends,
let us direct all our anger, anguish, frustration against management’s
autocracy, obduracy, obstinacy and unilateralism.
WITH FRATERNAL GREETINGS,
Yours Sincerely,
