CIRCULAR/GS/2013/28    3rdOct 2013

TO ALL OFFICERS:
Dear Friends,

Bipartite Meeting On 11th Oct 2013

All of you are aware that in the last round of bipartite talks held with IBA on 12th Aug 2013,
two vital issues were settled.
1.IBA agreed that the new wage settlement would be effective from 1stNov 2012, that is the date on which the 10th
bipartite settlement is due.
2.IBA conceded our demand of merger of DA upto 4440 consumer price index i.e 401 slabs and construct new pay scales accordingly.

Friends, in view of the approval by the Central Government for the setting up of 7thpay commission for the Government employees, the hopes of the officers fraternity in the entire banking industry rise multifolded and there are enquiries from all over the country about the progress.

IBA has now informed us that the next round of discussion would be held on 11thOct 2013 and we hope that there would be some positive movement for a fair and adequate wage revision.

WORKING ON SUNDAYS/HOLIDAYS

It has become practice that for each and every requirement of any of the Government department, banks are asked to work on holidays.
Government depts/CBDT invariably approach RBI witha request that it should exercise of its regulatory/supervisory powers to instruct the banks to keep their branches open on holidays/extend the working hours. Whether it is tax collection/ inancial inclusion/Transfer of direct benefits linkages of Adhaar cards like which was done for subsidy on LPG which was the job of petroleum ministry, banks are instructed to work on holidays/ extra time. When we move with the request for appropriate compensation to officers working for extended hours and for working on holidays, the importance to our demand are being ignored by our management thereby pushing the officers to the level of demotivating attitude.

During the Executive committee meeting held at Ernakulam on 1st Oct 2013, ALL INDIA BANK OFFICERS’ CONFEDERATION has finalized a firm solution, which will be intimated shortly.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING OF A I C B O F

In view of the various developments taking place in the bank, the Executive committee meeting of our ALL INDIA CENTRAL BANK OFFICERS’ FEDERATION will be held in Chennai in the second week of Nov 2013 to review the situation and take appropriate decision on all matters concerning all the officers of the bank particularly the humiliating treating meted out to the officers particularly the branch managers in the following regions.

2. Jaipur Region in Delhi Zone

WITH GREETINGS
