CIRCULAR/GS/2014/O7                                                                            28th Feb 2014

TO ALL OUR MEMBERS:

Dear Friends,
                                   I AM GREATFUL TO ALL OF YOU, FRIENDS

After put in more than 35 years of service, I am retiring from Bank’s service today and I am saying “ADIEU” to the Bank .After having spent most of my life time in the Bank as well as in the Trade union front, parting is indeed a painful affair.

I had the unique opportunity of leading the Federation as Frontline soldier. At this sunset hour in Central Bank of India, when I look back very many memories overwhelm me. It was a long and eventful journey. I have made every effort to be as selfless as possible while attending to the problems, difficulties & miseries of our members. I have never hesitated to call a spade a spade whenever situation warranted so. Fear or consequences have never deterred me from upholding the cause and the interest of the officer’s community.

I have taken lot of liberties with my colleagues in the Executive committee, in my anxiety to ensure that the flag of the Federation is always kept fluttering and we continue to remain the torch bearers of the great institution in our bank in an exemplary manner. 

I would not have been successful in my present assignment, but for the unseen hands and faces of the thousands & thousands of officers all over the country, who rallied round the Federation and followed the direction of the organization all the time. It is our beloved bank and AICBOF that made me what I am today. I have gained much, much more from the activities of AICBOF than what I have contributed to it.

AICBOF & Our office bearers & members have provided me umpteen opportunities to grow in stature, position & experience. The infinite love, care & concern showered upon me by each & every one of you is my greatest savings. I am grateful to all my friends for the immense faith & trust reposed in me.

Let me assure each one of you that I shall continue to be available at the other end of my mobile as your friend & well wisher.

Thanking You,

(A.R.Saifullah)
General Secretary

                                          PROMOTION PROCESS IN SPECIALIST CATEGORY

We furnish hereunder the communication sent to the management for the information

“We express our gratitude to our administration for initiating the promotion process in all scales for the year 2014-15. But we are surprised to note that the process is only for General Category officers. More than 400 Agriculture Finance Officers, those who have completed more than 2 years continuous service in our bank are expressing their unhappiness over the discrimination shown to them in the latest announcement of promotion process.

We wish to state that after completion of 2 years as AFOs, such officers are being considered for promotion in other banks and after promotion they are being posted as Branch Managers directly absorbing them under general category. We request your good self to consider the expectations of such AFOs as is being done in other peer banks in their career path, which will surely motivate them for putting extra efforts in the growth of agriculture credit.

As they are highly qualified and are contributing in the growth and development of the bank, particularly in Agriculture Finance, we request your good self to direct the department to take immediate steps to initiate/ enhance the career path of Agriculture Officers.”

Further developments would be informed in due course.


       
      EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING OF OUR FEDERATION HELD AT MUMBAI


The executive committee meeting of our Federation took place at Mumbai on 23rd & 24th Feb 2014.The arrangements made by the host unit were simple and worth emulating. Deliberations of the meeting which lasted for nearly two days were involved and animated. Leaders representing different units of the Federation participated in the meeting with total conviction and commitment and aired their views in a free and frank, and at the same time responsible manner.

The General Secretary’s report to the committee dealt with at length all important developments at the industry as well as at our Bank’s level.

The committee inter-alia, deliberated at length on the following issues:-

1.      Linking performance for the request transfers
2.      Deunionization of officers against the constitutional rights
3.      Threatening the PO’s
4.      Disturbing the Managers on the day of the strike
5.      Creating fear psychosis amongst the Branch managers
6.      Humiliations’ to the CMs & AGMs
7.      Withdrawal of duty leave to the activists
8.      Planning to merge some Zones & Regions.

The committee has decided to oppose the move of the management in the proposed merger of Zones & Regions by adopting available methods and evolved some important strategies for fighting the indifferent attitude of some field functionaries, in protecting/upholding the birth right of the individual.
