TEXT

           

Pursuant to the clarion call given by UFBU and the unanimous Declaration adopted in our National Convention, bank employees and officers have been moving forward towards our All India Bank Strike on 7th July, 2011.

There have been enthusiastic response to the programmes and mobilization is also in full swing.  In the meantime, we were expecting the Parliament Session to be convened in July so that our Strike will get echoed in the Parliament too.  But the Parliament Session has been convened from 1st August, 2011.  In this background a meeting of the UFBU was held today in Chennai wherein it was felt expedient to re-adjust our Strike date suitably with a view to synchronise it with the Parliament Session.  After discussion, it has been decided that our All India Bank Strike will be postponed from 7th July to 5th August, 2011.

Further, upon representations from our Unions in RRBs, Co-operative Banks and Daily Deposit Collectors to include their demands to enable them to wholeheartedly participate in the programmes/ Strike action, it was decided to accede to their request.

Comrades, all our unions and members would observe that after our Convention, the attacks are only being intensified. OECD Report has recommended wholesale banking sector reforms.  USA is also pressurising for banking reforms in India to be expedited.  Government’s thinking is not too different from these.  Hence, our unity and strike actions are important.

Further preparatory programmes will be announced separately.

LET US MAKE THE 5TH AUGUST STRIKE A CLEAR WARNING SIGNAL TO THE GOVERNMENT.

MARCH ON TO 5TH AUGUST, 2011 STRIKE.

With greetings,

Yours Comradely,
