All India Bank Employees` Association (AIBEA) and All India Bank Officers` Association (AIBOA) have served a notice of strike informing that their members propose to go on strike on Dec. 16, 2009 with the following demands.
- Stop proposals of consolidation in public sector banks.
- Do not close down State Bank of Indore and other associate banks.
- Do not allow SBI acquire / merge any associate bank.
- Do not infringe collective bargaining and trade union rights.
- Do not violate I.D.Act and advice by Dy. C.L.C., Ministry of Labour.
In the event of the proposed strike materializing on December 16, 2009, normal services rendered to the customers may have to be curtailed.
"All our units and members are aware that secretly and surreptitiously the managements of SBI and State Bank of Indore got a resolution adopted in the Board meeting on 19.6.2009 for closure of State Bank of Indore & merging it with SBI. This provocative move was answered by an All India Strike on 22.6.2009 by our units in State Bank of Indore.
Further, a joint call for All India Strike on 6.7.2009 was given by AIBEA � AIBOA, NCBE, BEFI, INBEF & INBOC to protest against the unwarranted proposal.
Consequently, a conciliation meeting was held by the Dy. Chief Labour Commissioner, Ministry of Labour, Government of India, at Delhi on 3.7.2009. The management of SBI & State Bank of Indore participated in the meeting.
The strike was deferred by the unions on the basis of the advice given by the Dy. CLC, the commitment by the management and the minutes signed by the parties as under :
Excerpts of Minutes dt. 3.7.2009 before Dy. Chief Labour Commissioner
1. The management was further advised not to pursue RBI and Government on the issue of merger in the meantime.
2. Management is also advised not to take any action that may vitiate the cordial relations.
3. Representatives of SBI and State Bank of Indore agreed to invite the Union/Association for discussion on the issue of merger to find an acceptable solution.
4. Unions/Associations have agreed to defer the strike of 6th July.
But recently on 31.10.2009, the management of State Bank of Indore, over looking the minutes signed before the Dy. CLC and their commitment given during the conciliation meeting has approved a scheme for Acquisition of the Bank by SBI. In the proposed scheme, all anti-employee/union provisions have been incorporated which will leave the service conditions of the employees at the mercy of the SBI management.
Further, it is observed that the government and SBI management are attempting to utilize Section 35 of the SBI Act to acquire any public sector bank in their agenda of consolidation. RBI, on the other hand, is proposing to get banking sector exempted from the provisions of Competition Act, 2002 to facilitate amalgamation of banks.
Comrades, a serious situation is developing before us. The SBI management does not care for legal provisions and their own commitment before the Labour Ministry officials. They do not care for the advice of the Labour Ministry. The Government is also trying to bless these moves as it is their own agenda too.
Hence, it is necessary for us to raise a movement against these attempts. It is necessary that we protest and fight. Hence, AIBEA and AIBOA have decided to undertake the following agitational programmes :
23.11.2009 : Demonstrations before Branches of Associate Banks by all bank employees.
25.11.2009 : a) Joint Dharna before Head Offices of all Associate Banks i.e. in Indore, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Patiala, Jaipur & Thiruvananthapuram.
b) Dharna in State Capitals in other States.
3.12.2009 : Morcha to Parliament.
10.12.2009 : Badge Wearing
16.12.2009 : ALL INDIA STRIKE BY AIBEA & AIBOA IN ALL BANKS.
Note : Co-operatives & RRBs are exempted from this strike.
DEMANDS
Do not violate advice of Labour Ministry
Do not go back on commitments before Dy. CLC.
DO NOT CLOSE DOWN STATE BANK OF INDORE
DO NOT CLOSE DOWN ANY ASSOCIATE BANK
Stop proposals of consolidation of Public Sector Banks.
Comrades, we call upon all our units and members to appreciate the gravity of the situation and respond effectively and make the agitational programme and strike action a total success."

May god save us from these Cheaters. They have no time and courage to announce agitations for Overdue Wage settlement. They are just playing their Game!

UFBU has now proved that it is Useless Fools and Bevkoofs Union.

BANKERS ! BEWARE OF U F B U !!!!!!!
UFBU became a political outfit who will divert the attention by switching over to some other matter. Now the UFBU conveniently forgotten the real issues and fighting for some thing which they cannot stall/archive..
IT IS NOT A CALL GIVEN BY UFBU. IT IS ONLY AIBOA AND AIBEA CALLING THE SHOTS. IT IS INTRIGUING THAT EVEN THE NCBE IS SILENT OVER THE PROPOSED MERGERS. THIS WILL ISOLATE AIBEA AND AIBOA,FOR, THE TIMING IS NOT CONDUCIVE. ATLEAST, THEY SHOULD HAVE CLUBBED THE WAGE REVISION ISSUE, ROPED IN ALL THE CONSTITUENTS OF UFBU AND OPTED FOR A LONGER DURATION STRIKE.
MAY BE, WAGE REVISION SEE LIGHT EVEN BEFORE THIS TIME,FOR, THERE IS A NEWS IN THE AIR THAT THE UFBU IS ALL SET TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND IT IS ONLY WAITING FOR THE IBA CHAIRMAN TO RETURN FROM HIS FOREIGN TOUR. OTHERWISE, THE CALL WOULD PROVE TO BE COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE. THE RANK AND FILE IS NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE SO CALLED MERGER GIMMICKS. FOR OFFICERS, PROMOTIONS ARE NO LONGER A REWARD AND ONLY A BURDEN,FOR, THERE IS NO MONETARY BENEFIT EMBEDED IN IT. FOR AWARD STAFF, SINCE EVERYBODY IS EARNING ATLEAST CTO ALLOWANCE, SLIPPAGE IN SENIORITY RESULTING OUT OF MERGERS WOULD NOT BE VIEWED WITH DISFAVOUR. IT AFFECTS ONLY EXECUTIVES AND LEADERS! HENCE, BEFORE GOING FOR STRIKE FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN WAGE REVISION, THE LEADERS SHOULD THINK A HUNDRED TIMES! - LEADERS PLEASE REALISE THE GROUND REALITY BEFORE TESTING WATERS FOR TRIVIAL ISSUES.
Our PM is more than a Banker and FM under the able guidance of our PM will not indulge in anything against the well being of Banks and Bank employees. No wrong in merger move. SBI and its associate banks can be merged into a single large entity. The present day technology provides support for consolidation of banks. What is the use in banks located in a locality like Bangaloru and Mumbai. After VRS 2000 most large branches have become Furniture den without man power. We are capable of managing even if all the 29 PSU banks into 6 banks. Such merged Bank shall be smaller than Chinese Banks, which handles large volumes. Any cost cutting measures, modernisastion, introduction of advance technology are most welcome. Bank officers are struggling to get work extracted from clerical staff, while clerks mindset is not prepared for doing additional work, the sub-staff are craving for extra earnings by way of TA. Let every bank employee think for 5 minutes every day, that his identity provided by the bank has helped him get married, educate children, build houses, celebrate wedding of children, treat sick parents etc and work for the institution, and every thing will follow by itself from the good governance and no selfish UFBU leadership can stop this. Let us all not become prey to the ill designs of the AIBEA-AIBOA leadership.
bank karamchariyon ko GADHA samajh rakha hai kam ka bojh lade jao jab wage revision ki bat karo to DULATTI MAR KE BHAGA DO
In order to divert the members from the burning issues leaders are doing these type of gimmicks. Leaders, please note that, do not test the patience of members too much. You people cannot tolerate if they start agitating.
It is ridiculous to call for strike on 16.12.2009.
In the past the then individual Unions opposed computerisation and did not get better wage revision, whereas SBI Employees agreed and got better/additional increment.
Now what we see all across???? Only computers from day-one of opening of the branch and migration to Core Banking Environment- nobody is opposed- let there be merger, let there be consolidation, because it is going to happen- as it is not a decision of the Govt Of India, but imposed by World Bank- either front door or Backdoor- consolidation is bound to happen- whether one likes it or not. Whether further dis-investment is not going to take place in PSU- whether our leaders, Left leaders and their followers do not subscribe to Public Issue/Follow-on Public Issue?? Whether our Bank's shares were not purchased by leaders, who strongly opposed dilution govet stake???
Simply dump the strike- do not loose strike- the DA increase is a solace-instead start e-mail campaign to oppose the strike through individual and corporate e-mail IDs. For, let us not loose 1 day salary on the one hand and do the extra work on the very next day.
If UFBU or any union has courage, let them give call for indefinite strike call for wage revision- the reason given by Unions for strike on 16.12.09 is flimsy one and does hold water
dear AIBEA LEADERS
BEFORE CALLING THE ALL INDIA STRIKE
PLEASE ASK THE RECENTLY MERGED BANK
SBS EMPLOYEES WHETHER THEY ARE HAPPY OR NOT POST MERGER WITH THEIR PARENT BANK SBI
PLEASE TAKE THE OPINON OF THE EMPLOYEES OF STATE BANK OF INDORE
IF THEY ARE INTERESTED OR NOT
IN THE CASE OF SBS EMPLOYEES THEY GOT ALL THE BENEFITS LIKE THE PARENT BANK EMPLOYEES
PLEASE DO NOT TAKE HASTY-POLITICAL
AND UNILATERAL DECISONS THAT WILL NOT BENEFIT THE EMPLOYEES
GIVE ONE VALID REASON FOR NOT MERGING THE ASSOCIATED BANK WITH THEIR PARENT BANK
Apne leaders par vishwas karna shikhe, they are not useless and bevkoofs.
updesh achha hai magar koi reason!
Partaksh ko parman ki kya zaroorat. Why comrades are kept in so much dark, do not they have the right to know what is going on?
No amount of strikes will prevent consolidation of banks. In a market economy, it is always the bigger fish that eats the smaller fish to survive. Many banks have been merged before - New Bank of India with PNB, UIB with Allahabad Bank, Bharat Overseas with Indian Overseas bank and so on - I have not seen any staff member either clerical or officer of the merged bank being worse off after the merger. What is the issue? Some netas post will vanish or what?
First there is so far no clear picture about post merger scenario. all parties- iba,goi,ufbu and award staff and officers ( the last parties awardstaff and officers are different from ufbu please remember)see mergers as four blind person describe the elephant.
i can see some benifit out of mergers and consolidation.
1. today we witness asymetric competition. that is we give sub plr lending to wealthy corporates and not give any bit increase in savings bank int rate. this is name of competition we sacrifice the interest of pubic ownership. we all know that most with whom competite are our fellow bankers only. with mergers we can save lots of money spent on these useless business and save the same for public benifit.
2 we have lots of public sector bank branches in cities all giving same service with no good improvement. how many times we have denied demand drafts on cash after 4pm (but home deliver the same if asked by hnw customer at 10pm). on merger we can create 10 branches which work for 12 hours with 2shifts providing great benifits to comman man.
3 in my experience more workers more business but our management go the other around (u increase business by another 50 crs we will provide u with one more clerk)with more bankers we can specialise more on credit and recovery and thereby give lot of people bank credit at better terms. and at the same time with recovery teams we can spare the sanctioning authority (branch manager) from accountabiity fixation for minor lacune.
4 we all know that most of the business we do in branches is just clearing and funds transfer. hnw customer gets his funds cleared in minutes at cheaper and common man have to wait sometimes more that 15 days to get his cheque cleared. (still sbi have not provided asst commissioner pf with multicity cheques and they have to be sent to respective centres for collection) with mergers and consolidation these cheque transactions will come down.
and we have better timeto manage other business and give better customer service
to be continued
5 finally inspite of strict rbi regulation we all know the methods to hoodwink that and help customers in money laundering and tax evasion. (shame on us ) we ask hundred questions to a person who wants to open an account with rs 500 and we ask not even the name to those deposit 10 lak) in name of marketing. we hear hnw customer saying if u cannot do i have indian bank, canarabank, and more bank managers to do this job. by doing this we not only do injustice to our organisation but national security as well.
only bigshots take advantage of multiple banks and manage to get concessions quoting one another banks. (here we prove we are fools)
finally one great peron said "workers of the world unite "
atleast we are the workers of same industry, fratenity and same ownership. why should not unite.
thanking you.
UFBU is behaving like Jayalalitha and Mayavati. The day is not too far for these leaders to be punished in the worst manner. They are leaders because
1. They have no self respect.
2. They have been living easily on others funds.
3. Their position enable them to procure contracts/job works/commission/income
etc., and etc., They are addicted and will never correct themselves till they are thrown out.
Let us expose the leaders so that future leaders will learn to serve and serve to win.
UFBU has meet IBA on the following dates. On more than 25 occasions at our cost. IBA members are Chief executives and they already drawn contract wages as per 6th pay commission terms. UFBU team mostly retired employees feel free to travel and claiim TA & HA and at the same time they can mobilise business contacts and other favours and gain financially. There is no light of our future wage revision and pension option.

Have passion, UFBU is busy in talking and talking and talking..........................
They will definitly settle the issue within curent decade, if not within the year.
UFBU is a group of Useless & Retired ( may be mentally) bankmen !
WHETHER NEW LEADERSHIP NECESSARY FOR LEADING BANKMEN
When the UFBU in particular AIBEA /AIBOA COMBINE gave a call for strike call during next month( 16 DECEMBER ) against the PROPOSED merger of STATE BANK OF INDORE with SBI, the ministry of finance under the chairmanship of Mr. Chadurvedi conducted a meeting of chiefs of major banks that includes our respected IBA CHAIRMAN AND UNION BANK CHIEF MR.MV.NAIR. on the subject of consolidation of banks. CRUELTY OF FATE.
From this it is very clear that neither the government of India represented by ministry of finance nor IBA has taken the protest / strike call seriously. After the ritual CLC meeting if any ,that may be arranged in the days to come either the strike may be called off or the parties may allow the strike to materialize which means equivalent to one more holiday for the general public and monetary loss to the bank employees in the form of wage cut. The enthusiasm that they are showing for the strike call was not at all shown for the vexed problem of wage revision. Already employees are totally in a negative mood eagerly anticipating major initiatives from all the three sides namely Government/Iba/union. All the three are jointly and severally responsible for the inhuman treatment meted out to bank employees/bank pensioners/bank pf optees who are dyeing daily on a psychological basis and undergoing tension for pension option /decent wage revision.
This situation is mainly called LEADERSHIP VACUUM . ie. No leader of a good stature who is commanding respect from all sides ie political official, fellow union is available. If the answer is A FIRM NO to this view, then no need to negotiate without any solution since 2007
A new avtar of bank union who is realizing the present need of the employees in terms of parity with the government counterparts and at the same time a person of practical approach who will guide the members on a nonpolitical basis and taking the views of the government positively on financial reforms is the absolute need of the hour. Even minority unions belong to major political parties are not airing the views thro press . LACK OF ADEQUATE MEMBERSHIP MAY BE THE REASON There are good opportunities for such unions /associations to take up the matter with more vigour and make the other comrades/officers to rally round them. Only initiative with the real motive of getting the benefits and at the same time cooperation to the government will yield the desired result. In whatever affliation the person belongs either as individual or a group the moment they start airing the views through their political bosses who is having influence or whose words will be heard in the corridors of power with respect, there is opportunity knocking the doors. When ten lakhs bank employees struggling for the normal wage increase plus other benefits ,they will take that leadership beyond political affiliation if it comes in the right time. The situation is analogous to person who does not know swimming but fallen into deep water crying for help. This situation is also can be compared to certain times sweeping the state elections with altogether anew sloga using the political vacuum . one example LATE .NT RAMA RAO, SLOGAN TELUGU PRIDE. This is only for analogy and not beyond that.

Stop Supporting these all uniouns
They are leftist political parties offshoot
They are not in this govt so they are stllling all mergers .Actua;y it is good not only for emplyess but also for our country.
These unioun leaders call us comrades. It is all bullshit Look at the condition of the world and then talk no unioun giri owuld be tolerated if the our economy goes out of control like it has happened in Us.
Do these idiot union leaders know how banks have gone to liquidation in us till this date.
What soltuion do these so called unsion leaders have to save our banking industry from such bust in India. Dothese unioun leaders have brain to think then they would not stall any mergers Unioun should have no say in megers & acquisation. By merging banks staff is not laid off then why are they interfering in such unrelated matters. They should have suuported more then 17.% wage increase like the central & state govt employees get with 2 weekns off and less burden and less workload and responsibilty. Are these unioun leaders really fighting for us ? this is the question now everyone is asking.
Why 17.% only where as central & state govt emplyess have got nearly 100% increase.
All bank Employees
FULLY OPPOSE THE STRIKE CALLED BY THSE USNIOINS ON 16-12-2009 TO STALL THE MERGERS OF BANKS. tHESE UNIOUN LEADERS HAVE NO POWER TO INTERFERE IN THE MERGER & ACQUISATIONS OF BANKS WHICH IS VERY MUCH A NECCESSITY FOR OUR COUNTRY OTHERWISE WE WOULD ALL BE ON ROADS . aSK THESE UNIOUN LEADERS TO COME OURT AND SEE HOW MANY BANSK HAVE BEEN LIQUDATED IN usA IF THE WORLD ECONOMIC CRISIS DEEPENS THEN iNDIA WOULD NOT BE SPARED AND THEN WHAT IS THE SOLUTION FOR THIS WITH OUR SO CALLED ALL UNIOUN LEADERS.
sO BEWARE DONT SUPPORT THESE UNIOUN AS YOU ALL KNOW NOW WHAT A PETTY 17.5% WAGE REVISION THEY HAVE GIVEN US.
STOP PAYING UNIOUN FUNDS STOP SUPORTING THEM & BOYCOTT THESE UNIOUNS . THEY WILL NEVER WORK OR OUR BENEFIT.
SO ALL BANK EMPLOYEES SHOW YOUR STRENGTH TO THESE UNIOUN LEADERS BY NOT SUPPORTING THE STRIKE CALL OF 16-12-2009
Friends,
I am not going on strike tomorrow. let us all oppose this strike. Why to loose one day pay for a baseless issue when more sever issue (wage revision) is still unresolved. if we will have to go on strike for wage revision in next few days if anything goes wrong in on going talks what will public say ? why bank-men on strike every day ?.
And my friends there are 27 bank's to be merged one by one and these stupid unions will force us to go on strike every time a new merger is announced. if we go on 2-3 strikes for opposing a one merger than we will have to go on strike more than 50 times in next 2-3 years, because we all know merger is to be happen. No one can stop it.
Come on. let us save our one day pay. already our salary is very little.
Why these stupid start agitation for our better service conditions, our better pay ? and if not, "for better merger conditions" ?
UNION LEADERS CHEATED US ONCE AGAIN. THE NET INCREASE IN OUR SALARY WILL BE BETWEEL 8 -9% . DONT EXPECT MORE. QUIT UNION
SAY YES TO MERGER
IF MERGER HAPENS THESE UNION LEADERS HAVE TO WORK. THEY WILL LOOSE THEIR POSITION. LET ASSOCIATE BANKS MERGE WITH SBI
BALASUBRAMANIAN - STATE BANK OF TRAVANCORE
Regarding wage settlement only in banking they have fixed the overall load factor of 17.5% increase. In other departments like govt. both central and state and also some of the public sector undertaking put forth the pay structure first. According to the structure the wage load was increased. Once we fixed 17.5% wage load we will not be in a position to increase the structure beyond the load. For fixing a load it will take 2 years. We can't understand why both iba and ufbu will take 25months time. It is better they will be fixed overall load for the 10th bipartite settlement now itself, so that atleast next settlement will be arrived in time.
Thank god. It is settled before commencement of next settlement. Possibly our UFBU is most deceptive group who will work for their close members leaving others in a lurch. The UFBU should learn from Mr Nadaf how he has deserted AIBOC and working for SBI.
