“TALKS
WITH IBA ON WAGE REVISION
Further to the last round of meeting held on
17th instant, another round of bipartite meeting was held with the
IBA today (26.9.2014). IBA was represented by Shri Rajeev Rishi (CMD
Central Bank of India), Chairman of the Negotiating Committee along with other
members of the Negotiating Committee. UFBU was represented by all its
constituent unions.
In today's meeting there was a detailed
discussion on our demand for 100% reimbursement of hospitalisation expenses
incurred by the employees/officers and their family members and the group
mediclaim scheme offered by the IBA in response thereto. We explained our various apprehensions about
the implementation of the scheme and hassle-free reimbursement of claims
thereunder. We reiterated that employees/officers should not be required to
deal directly with the insurance company or their Third Party Administrators.
IBA has agreed and accordingly clarified that even though employees would be
covered by the mediclaim scheme, they would continue to submit their claims to
the management as hitherto and the reimbursement would be made by the Banks
with the improved benefits of the scheme accruing to the employees. IBA
also agreed to incorporate the suggestions submitted by the UFBU while finalising
the scheme. Hence a broad in-principle consensus was mutually agreed upon
and the final scheme would be worked out accordingly on the above lines.
We also raised the following issues during
the discussions today:
Ø
Pension
related matters i.e. 100% DA on pension for pre-Nov. 2002 retirees, improvement
in family pension, provision for periodical updation of pension
Ø
Introduction
of 5 days banking / 5 days working
Ø
Regulated
working hours for officers
After discussion, IBA informed that they are
inclined to favorably consider the demand of 100% DA on pension for pre-Nov.
2002 retirees. IBA further informed that cost aspect on improvement in
family pension is being worked out and they would soon take a decision on the
same. IBA responded positively on this issue. As regards updation of
pension, IBA informed that in view of the high cost involved, it would be
difficult to agree to the same. On our insistence, IBA agreed that any
viable and affordable proposition from the UFBU in this regard would be examined.
As regards 5 day banking / 5 day working, IBA
regretted their inability to accept our demand in the present situation. From
UFBU, we insisted on this issue and hence IBA agreed that if a detailed note is
submitted to them with the requisite logic and rationale, they would apply
their mind afresh on this issue.
From the IBA, they wanted to know our views
and reactions on introduction of cost to company method as well as fixed and
variable pay concepts. From UFBU we have reiterated our standpoint that the same
are not acceptable to us. IBA also insisted for limiting the wage
revision discussions upto scale III officers instead of upto scale VII
which was also declined by us.
On the vital issue of improvement in the
offer of IBA over 11%, despite our indication that we would be flexible in our
demand, depending on improvements in other areas, IBA has conveyed that they
are unable to improve their offer unless UFBU scale down further in its demand
considering the financial constraints of the banks. We categorically
informed IBA that UFBU would be reasonable and flexible in its approach
provided the same is reciprocated by the IBA on the issues raised by us and
insisted on IBA to improve their offer to take the negotiations
forward. However, IBA was adamant in their stand and did not improve
their offer and stuck to their earlier offer of 11%. UFBU expressed its unhappiness over the rigid
stand of IBA on improvement.
It was unanimously
agreed to have an agitational programme on following lines

CONVENOR
Dear Friends,
We have received the reaction from many of
you on the outcome of the meeting with IBA. Our Confederation expressed its
clear view in the UFBU meeting held on 26th September, 2014, that we
want quick and sustained agitational programme against the apathy of IBA and
the Government on our just and reasonable demands. We also suggested that our
strike call should be for 13th and/or 14th October
preceded by programmes like no late sitting, not coming on Sundays and
Holidays, Badge wearing, relay hunger strikes, rallies and demonstrations. Undersigned offered the challenge to hold a
rally/ demonstration on 27th September, 2014 itself at Delhi.
However, the above programme only could be decided by the UFBU. We call upon
our members to be in preparedness for any call of the UFBU/organization.”
