RESOLUTION PROPOSED TO THE MANAGING COMMITTEE MEETING HELD ON 10^TH JULY 2011 AT VIJAYAWADA

Several Scale-I Officers were transferred by the management from one Region to another Region in the Zone under Six Years Policy. All of them have been facing lot of hardships due to the separation from their families and children, who are in crucial stage of their life. The Six Years Policy announced by the bank during 2006 only resulted in demotivating these senior Scale-I Officers.

We have been demanding the management since 2007 to delete the provision of transfer of Scale-I Officers from one Region to another Region after six years of their continuous stay in a Region. Management has recently amended the transfer norms and deleted the compulsory transfer of Scale-I Officers from one Region to another Region after their continuous stay of six years in the Region. The amendment has given relief to many Scale-I Officers who are on the verge of transfer to other Regions due to their six years continuous stay in the Region.

This matter was deliberated at length by the house and the following resolution was passed.

-    That the management should transfer the Scale-I Officers, who were transferred from one Region to another Region under Six Years Policy, to their parent Region, irrespective of their stay in their present place of posting in the Region.

RESOLUTION PROPOSED TO THE MANAGING COMMITTEE MEETING HELD ON 10^TH JULY 2011 AT VIJAYAWADA

Central Office has considered the request transfer applications of All India Officers of May 2008 batch and affected the inter-zone transfers. Central Office has also instructed the Zones to rotate the Scale-I Officers who have completed three years in a place as of 31^st May 2011. However, a large no. of Officers, who were promoted from clerical cadre to Officer Cadre in Scale-I during October 2008, are not becoming eligible for rotation as they will be completing their tenure of three years only in October 2011. They are losing the opportunity of rotations and going back to their respective Regions by only three months,

This matter was deliberated at length by the house and the following resolution was passed.

-         That the Management should transfer the Scale-I Officers, who were promoted from Clerical Cadre to Scale-I in October 2008, to their parent Region during the ensuing rotations without stipulating for completion of three years tenure at their place of posting.

RESOLUTION PROPOSED TO THE MANAGING COMMITTEE MEETING HELD ON 10^TH JULY 2011 AT VIJAYAWADA

Management, at all levels, should function in the interest of the bank and should not interfere in the affairs of trade union or function in collusion with the trade unions by taking sides. The actions of the management should motivate all the staff members irrespective of their trade union affiliations. However, the trade union sponsored activities of the management would only result in affecting the morale and motivation of the staff members working in the demarcated area.

Regional Management, Vijayawada has been functioning in a way detrimental to the interests of Officers affiliated to Majority Officers’ Association and acting as per the dictates of Minority Officers’ Union and their affiliated wing of Award Staff. There have been several instances whereby interests of the Bank have been jeopardized for the sake of Minority Officers’ Union and their affiliated members.

The house deliberated at length about the actions of Regional Management including transfers of Mr. A.V. Ramana Murthy to Srikakulam, Mr. V.R.A. Achary from Suryabagh to Anakapalli and deputations of Mr. G.N. Trimurthulu from Chilakalapudi to Benz Circle for more than a year, Mr. K. Pardhasaradhi from Mylavaram to Benz Circle, Mr. G.V. Raveendra Kumar from Ardhavaram to Suryabagh apart from other issues.

This matter was deliberated at length by the house and the following resolution was passed.

-       That the management should immediately initiate corrective measures to maintain cordial industrial relations in the Region and to restore confidence among the officers working in Vijayawada Region on impartiality of the administration.
