OUR UNITY LONG LIVE! LONG LIVE AIBOC!!

MANAGEMENT’S UNILATERAL ACTIONS CONTINUE

EMERGENCY MEETING OF THE OFFICE BEARERS

In yet another glaring display of unilateralism, our management is reportedly proceeding with the merger of Some Zones in the name of restructuring which leads to only artificial solution and multiplication of higher level executives. In spite of the strong protest by the majority Officers’ and Employees organizations, our management is proceeding with the agenda of merger of some Zones bypassing the organizations and created a serious gap in the confidence levels between the Trade unions & the management.

Friends, our Federation has shown utmost restraint and has taken all possible steps but the management does not appear to be serious and sincere. Our Federation has been forced to wall

Under these circumstances an emergency meeting of the selected office bearers of the Federation would be held at our Federation office, Mumbai on Thursday, the 20^th March, 2014 to decide further course of actions including organizational actions to protect the interest of the officers”

Please await our further circulars.

WITH WARM GREETINGS

Yours Sincerely,

(N.SAKETHRAM)

TO ALL OFFICERS:

Dear Friends,

We append hereunder the circular received from SRI.S.B.RODE,GENERAL SECRETARY of our FEDERATION for the information of all officers.

“It is a matter of great delight for me, that I have been unanimously elevated to the dignified post of General Secretary of All India Central Bank Officers' Federation, that to when our Federation is celebrating  Golden Jubilee of its fifty years of fruitful existence.  I have a proud privilege of enjoying a deep association with this great organization for over 23 years. The officers under the banner of AICBOF were able to brave all odd situations and emerged unscathed and stronger which the trade union fraternity in banking industry watched with amazement.

Next Round of Meeting with IBA

Next Round of Meeting 

with IBA 

on 14th March, 2014

The next round of negotiations between the Indian Banks’ Association and the United Forum of Bank Unions will be held on March 14 at Mumbai. The talks will primarily centre on the percentage of increase demanded by the unions for a long-term wage pact. Other issues will include pension, a five-day banking week and health care allowance.

IBA to take up unions’ demands with Govt tomorrow

Indian Banks’ Association, representing the managements of banks in the country, will soon take up with the Finance Minister the demands set forth by the United Forum of Bank Unions. 

IBA functionaries and UFBU leaders held talks on the ticklish issue of wage hike in Mumbai on Monday. The union leaders were told that the issues raised by them would be taken up with top Finance Ministry officials on Wednesday. Based on the Government’s stand, the next round of bilateral talks would be held “within the next 10 days”. UFBU leaders told Business Line that they had strongly pushed for a five-day banking week (instead of six now), which is the norm in many countries. They have also demanded regulation of working hours, a return to the old pension scheme for bank employees, and better medical care and housing benefits. 

Several rounds of talks have already been held between the IBA and the unions over the demands, but the talks were deadlocked on the crucial issue of wage hike. Source: Business Line
