STATEMENT OF THE CASE:
DEMANDING IMMEDIATE WAGE
REVISION SETTLEMENT:
Wages
and service conditions in the banking sector are governed by the industry-level
bipartite settlements signed between the Indian Banks’ Association (IBA) and
the workmen unions and officers’ associations operating in the banking
industry. All the banks which have given mandate to IBA to negotiate on behalf
of them are parties to the settlements. United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU),
representing five workmen unions and four officers’ associations, is currently
negotiating with IBA for revision of wages to bank workmen/officers.
The
wage revision for bank employees is due from 01.11.2012 subsequent to the
expiry of the last Bipartite Settlement on 31.10.2012. The common charter of demands, separately for
workmen and officers, were submitted by UFBU to IBA on 30.10.2012 i.e., before
the expiry of last bipartite settlement.
UFBU
has been requesting, since the start of negotiations, for a time-bound approach
to hold the negotiations on its demands and for conclusion of wage settlement
within a reasonable time. But the IBA
has inordinately delayed the negotiation process and there is no significant
progress in the wage negotiations despite a lapse of nearly two years’
time.
IBA
is quoting the reason of non-affordability of banks and is stubborn in its
offer of 11% increase in pay slip components, as against the demand of UFBU for
a respectable settlement with due consideration of the difficulties that are
faced by the employees on account of high rate of inflation, which has eroded
the salaries of the employees to a great extent.
Bank
employees, workmen and officers, have been performing well despite severe
stress due to substantial increase in workload in the banks due to inadequate
staff strength and on account of opening of many branches under Financial
Inclusion and so on. Bank employees
never lagged behind in the successful implementation of all Government
sponsored programmes/schemes, including the recently implemented Prime
Minister’s Jan Dhan Yojna. However, the
bank employees are not being paid adequately.
HENCE, THIS DEMAND FOR IMMEDIATE
SETTLEMENT OF WAGE REVISION.
