TO ALL OFFICERS:
TWO
DAYS’ ALL INDIA BANK STRIKE-A HISTORIC SUCCESS
We reproduce hereunder contents of circular issued
by AIBOC for your information
QUOTE
“Congratulations Friends
– we are elated to note the unprecedented success of the ‘Two Days’ All India
Bank ‘Strike’ on 10th and 11th February 2014 for which
call was given by the UFBU. We
congratulate all the members all over the country for their enthusiastic
participation in various programmes conducted in this regard at different
centres and making the programmes a grand success. We are receiving reports
from the organizers on the programmes / rallies held throughout the country and
their total success. It is also observed
that the participation of the members was not mere enthusiastic presence but
their overwhelming emotion depicting the frustration and anger for the denial
of reasonable and rightful wage increase.
We once again reiterate that the intention of the UFBU is neither to
cause inconvenience to the customers nor loss to the country’s economy. The strike could have been avoided, but for
the recalcitrant attitude of the IBA and Government combine in not coming
forward with an improved offer paving the way for a respectable and reasonable
wage revision. We do appreciate the
stress on the balance sheet and the constraints on the IBA but at the same
time, what is being demanded is not unreasonable and difficult to
consider. The responsibility and the
duty of the employees and officers towards ensuring growth in business,
productivity and generating increased gross income have been fully
discharged. The fact is fully evidenced
by double the growth in net profits of Banks despite appropriation of more than
60% of the income generated towards writing off and provision for NPAs. More
so, the UFBU is not demanding the entire profit to be distributed amongst
employees as wages but with the due share in order to ensure reasonable
standard of living to Bank employees equivalent to the comparables and also to
cope up with the uncontrolled spiralling cost of inflation, which is making the
life of common man miserable.
The two days’ strike is only a warming up exercise which should send
strong signals to Government / IBA that the Bank employees will not be silent
spectators if the Government is adamant in its attitude in implementing the
reforms and the IBA / Government combine ignore the just reasonable aspirations
of the Bank employees.
The UFBU will meet shortly to chalk out future
course of action and further programmes.
Friends – March ahead – continue to display the solidarity and strength
– Be ready to implement with vigour any action programmes decided by UFBU. Let us march ahead with determination to
achieve the goal.
Comrades, we
have taken cognizance of lot of messages/emails sent by our members and also
the posts on the public domains. It is
not possible for us to respond to individuals communications expressing your
anger against the apathy of the IBA, Government and in particular against the
provocative statement given by Hon’ble Finance Minister on 10/02/2014. While we
appreciate your sentiments behind asking the leadership to give a call of
indefinite strike, lot of technical and practical problems are there before
such a call is given and implemented. The decision will be taken by the
leadership at appropriate time. Meanwhile, we call upon you to strengthen the
movement by participation in rallies/demonstrations call of which is given by
the organizations. Make the battles successful before going for WAR”

We shall inform you the developments in due course.
LONG LIVE OUR UNITY WITH
FRATERNAL GREETINGS
Yours Sincerely,
(A.R.Saifullah)
General Secretary
