LFC,Leave and some other matters not seen in Draft of settlement.

If this is the true draft of settlement then nothing is new from 8th settlement.Same style only some increase in all heads.

Then Why 9 Refugees taken 29 months long time? In HRA head no parity achieved.If its final then We become fool.before 1st April from UFBU.

As per Mr.CHV's reply to me "Due to rationalization of special pay some additional cost will free and it will be adjusted in pay structure."

But I don't find any additional increased in pay structure.

If anybody has clarification then post here.

AIBEA made biggest mockery in the history of Banking and BPS.
In 7th BPS, Clerical salary starts from 3020 and the same was increased to 4410 in 8BPS and now increased to 6200. And the last stage under 7th BPS is 10880 increased to 16010 and the same was enhanced to 17500 only.
when the increase is 13.25% in 8th BPS the increase is around 49-50% increase in BP and under 17.50% the increase is quite less. do you call it as negotiation. How AIBEA justify.

ALL RUMOURS & NO TRUTH

NO SETTLEMENT SO FAR
The era of SMS / e mail is again at its overtime work. As if the havoc is not enough the draft copy of the workmen agreement is being circulated under the name of IBA amongst members in Banks.
This is further confounded by the rumours that at 25th March agreement is being signed on Bipartite. Anxious queries and spreading of information is taking place everywhere as to settlement is getting signed.
We have to clarify that the only meeting that took place for officers with IBA was one informal meeting with IBA Chairman on 15.02.2010 at Mumbai where after IBA office gave us a revised chart for scales and other items for discussions.
However the most contentious issue of pension balancing for SBI, incremental cost on pension and date of effect of pension etc., were not taken upon with IBA as it was decided that these issues would be decided in the UFBU meeting.
UFBU meeting is yet to be fixed and we are awaiting the same.
As far as officers are concerned our scale of pay, SBI pension balancing, pension date of effect and incremental cost remain to be decided yet.
Govt. is also yet to react on UFBU proposal of pension costing.
As such we call upon members not to be carried away by rumours. No settlement has been signed and only after UFBU meets and disposes all pending issues and Officers’ Associations agree on the mainframe, agreement will be signed in day light for all to see.
Please bear with the delay caused on account of negative attitude of Govt., and Bankers on some issues.

THE ABOVE VERSION OF AIBOA MAY BE TENABLE IN CASE OF OFFICERS' ISSUE. IT SEEMS THAT SOMEBODY HAVING ACCESS TO THE DRAFT HAS LEAKED IT. FOR ALL PRACTICAL PURPOSES, IF SETTLEMENT IS NOT INKED BEFORE 31.03.2010 IBA CAN NOT TECHNICALLY IMPLEMENT 'NPS' FOR NEW ENTRANTS FROM 01.04.2010. HENCE, THE NEXT FEW DAYS MAY BE INTERESTING TO WATCH.... MAY BE ONLY TO RESUME SNORING WILDLY! NEVERTHELESS THE SETTLEMENT LOOKS LIKE A PEANUT SHELL! NOT EVEN PEANUTS!

Dear Friends and fellow officers and workmen,

UFBU is joining with IBA to spoil the congenial working climate prevailing in banks. Already youngsters have decided not to choose banking job in SBI or Nationalised Banks. Not only Communism but also communists have become stale. They killed industrial activity in West Bengal, Textile mills in Coimbatore and finally they have chosen Banking Industry.

Let us not believe these rogue unionists.

All of us individually send telegrams to our Prime Minister Dr.Manmohan Singh to conclude wage revision in Banks and set up a Bank Pay commission to save Banking in India.

Please say good bye to the Unions and Associations in Banks.

Let us fight till we succeed.

Bank Officers Unity Zidabad, Bank workers unity Zindabad, UFBU Murdabad, GD NADAF and CHV Down Down.

IT IS GREAT INSULT OF BANK EMPLOYEES WHO ARE GIVING PROFIT TO GOVT. WITHOUT GETTING ANY SUBSIDY WHILE OTHER PSUs LIKE INDIAN OIL CORP. ONGC GAIL ETC. THEY GET SUBSIDY ON THEIR PRODUCTS AND THEIR EMPLOYEES GET HANDSOME PERFORMANCE LINKED INCENTIVES AND OTHER FACILITY WITH VERY HANDSOME PAY SCALE. AND WE ARE WORKING VERY HONESTLY AND SINCERELY WE ARE GETTING ONLY 17.5% INCREASE AND WE ARE HAPPY IN THIS SITUATION. BASICALLY IT IS NOTHING AS OUR WORK CONDITIONS.
UNIONS SHOULD TAKE VERY HARSH STEP LIKE INDEFINITE STRIKE ETC. OTHERWISE THEY SHOULD NOT GO FOR TALKS AND ACCEPT WHAT THE IBA IS GIVING. WHAT IS THE NEED OF TALKS AT 17.5%
IT IS VERY INTERESTING UNIONS HAVE MORE CONCERN ABOUT THE RETIRED EMPLOYEES BECAUSE ALL THE LEADERS ARE EITHER RETIRED OR GOING TO BE RETIRED. WHY THEY WILL THINK ABOUT THE YOUNG STAFF. THEY DONOT KNOW NEW RECRUITERS ARE NOT INTERESTED IN BANKING SERVICES.
THESE PF OPTEES ALWAYS CHOSEN THE WAY WHERE FOUND BENEFIT WHY THEY DID NOT OPT PENSION WHEN GOVT GAVE THEM TWO CHANCES TO CHOSE IT. THEY ARE KICKING ON OUR STOMACH.
ONLY DUE TO THIS PENSION WE ARE NOT GETTING HANDSOME WAGE HIKE. DO THEY KNOW WE HAVE TO TAKE THIS BANKING INDUSTRY IN BRIGHT FUTURE.
WE REQUEST OUR LEADERS EITHER GIVE UP THIS TALKS OR GIVE HANDSOME WAGE REVISION. DO NOT MAKE US FOOL AT 17.5% AND DO NOT TREAT IT AS VICTORY IT IS JUST LIKE BEGGING.
LEADERS SHOULD SHOW THE COURAGE TO CALL THE STRIKE. WHEN JET AIRWAYS STAFF CAN GO ON STRIKE WHY WE CAN NOT.

What is now required is a sincere attempt on the part of the UFBU. But it is unfortunate that the various constituents of UFBU seem to be disintegrating the Unity. Friends unless the Home Army unites how can they conquer the opposite party. One more important thing, Please donot forget the welfare of those who have already retired from the Banks. If you ignore them again today (like they were ignored in the past) you (the working lot) will also suffer later on, because you all will also retire one day (for most of you it is not far off) and then you will have nothing in hand but just repentance. My Best wishes to each and every one of you. May you all succeed in all your endeavors.
