“NON-REDRESSAL OF OUR CONCERNS AND DEMANDS
We reproduce hereunder the text of communication sent to the Secretary, Financial Services, Ministry of Finance, Government of India, on the captioned matter by UFBU, the contents of which are self explicit:
“This has reference to the memorandum submitted to our Hon. Finance Minister wherein we had drawn the attention of the Government to the growing discontentment amongst the bank employees and officers over the non-resolution of our various important pending issues and demands and the casual manner in which the IBA and the Government are dealing with the same.
We had also pointed out to the increasing instances of unilateral guidelines from the Government on issues relating to HR and IR and the arbitrary way in which bilateral service conditions are being changed in the name of implementing Khandelwal Committee recommendations. Similarly, unmindful of our protests, the Government is also contemplating to implement banking reforms agenda like attempts to pass the Banking Laws (Amendment) Bill, closure of rural bank branches, handing over these banking operations in the rural areas to private agencies, Business Correspondents and Ultra Small Branches, etc. Normal banking jobs are sought to be outsourced on contractual basis, which would jeopardise the permanent jobs in this vital banking sector instead of resorting to adequate recruitment of staff.
Our long pending issue like, revised compassionate ground appointment scheme is still pending with the Government. There are other important issues like improvements in pension scheme on the lines of Government scheme, non-extension of pension option facility to voluntarily resigned and retired staff, regulated and defined working hours, 5 day banking, revised uniform guidelines of staff housing loan scheme, etc. which are also being ignored by the IBA and Government without being amicably resolved.
We regret that even after UFBU pointing out the growing resentment of the bank employees and officers over these issues and demands that UFBU would be constrained to resort to agitational path, if the IBA does not come forward to resolve these issues. The IBA has chosen to remain casual without taking any initiatives in this regard.
In view of the continued non-responsive attitude of the IBA, at the meeting of the UFBU held at Kolkata on 06-06-2012, it has been decided to launch All India agitational programmes culminating in 2 days All India Strike on 25th and 26th July, 2012. A copy of agitational programme is furnished hereunder.
The formal notice for the strike action will be sent to IBA and Government in due course”.
We call upon all our units and members to observe the programme with befitting unity and enthusiasm.
AGITATIONAL PROGRAMMES:
25-6-2012 to 24-7-2012 | Explanatory meetings by all Constituents and State-level UFBUs |
