CIRCULAR NO:97                               21^st JUNE, 2010

TO ALL AFFILIATES/MEMBERS:

NATION WIDE 3 DAYS STRIKE BY UNITED FORUM OF BANK OF RAJASTHAN UNIONS

Almost more than a month, the employees and officers of the Bank of Rajasthan Ltd., are on sustained agitation opposing merger of their Bank into foreign owned ICICI Bank.  Massive Demonstrations were held before the Branches and offices of Bank of Rajasthan today by employees and officers under the banner of United Forum of Bank of Rajasthan Unions, and successfully commenced their nation wide 3 days strike on 21^st, 22^nd and 23^rd June, 2010.  Despite observing two days continuous strike on 4^th and 5^th June, 2010.  Bank has continued its efforts to obtain the mandate from share holders and arranged an extraordinary General Meeting on 21^st June, 2010 with an agenda of merger of the Bank of Rajasthan Ltd.

We are very happy to inform that City Civil Court of Calcutta restrained the Bank from holding extra ordinary General Meeting on 21.06.2010 vide its order dated 21^st June, 2010  in T.S.No.2195/2010,   filed by comrade Satya Brata Das Vs Bank of Rajasthan Ltd. Although the said court order is an important achievement, we cannot rest complacent and  have to continue our struggle against the ill advised move of the Bank.

AIBOC has extended fraternal support to all the agitation programmes of the UFBRU.  We congratulate and compliment the members for 100% participation in Demonstrations, Dharna and strike actions. While we thank all our affiliates for their solid support to the UFBRU, We request them to continue the same till the issue is taken to a   logical end.

With Revolutionary Greetings,
