SBI employees to go for 2 day strike from Nov 25

About 2.5 lakh SBI employees have threatened to go on a two-day countrywide strike from November 25 to press for wage- related issues. “We are demanding early disbursal of undistributed amount for SBI employees pending since the wage revision agreement was reached,” G.D. Nadaf, general secretary of the All India State Bank Officers’ Federation, said.

I belong to a nationalised bank, but in close toutch with SBI as many of my friends & relatives are working there."Equal work-equal pay" I feel nothing but a hoax.Practically it is also not possible.Quality is the determine factor for salary.SBI-POs are always ahead of nationalised bank POs.There are many instances where persons working for two-three years as a nationalised bank POs left for SBI POs.But in the clerical recruitment in SBI right from 1985 onwards to 2001(Year of abolition of BSRBs)in nodoubt bears a big question mark on quality-comparison task with their counterparts in nationalised banks because of faulty allotment system of BSRBs- "All type of HRD will go to all type of 28/27 public sector banks". It was an official direction by the then think-tankers in ministry of finance, department of economic affairs of GOI with some sort of scientific logics.In that period due to absence of a preference giving exercise in clerical recruitments of BSRBs many top rank candidates finally selected, were forcefully alloted/pushed to different nationalised banks.Those candidates could had been easily got their allotment in SBI if there was a preference giving exercise as available with UPSC & SSC.

Updation of pension for existing employees is a routine work not only in banks alone, but also in PSUs.One can find it by visiting MTNL & BSNL Officers Association etc Web-sites.So thing which is suppose to be solved across the table, should have been solved by itself on the table.But SBI union went on seven days strike on a silly matter of updation.Neither abolition of ceiling criteria nor 40% pension above the ceiling amount were not solved inspite of this one week long strike.Retirees of seventh BPS of SBI could not derive any benefit from this strike.At the cost of members' salary-cut, calling a strike for this or that reason becomes a fashion for some leaders.The benefits of Housing loan,Lease accomodation etc are achieved by AISBOF not through strike actions, rather those are the results of higher profit earnings, strong balance-sheet and good understanding/harmonious industrial relations between management and union in SBI.

But asking for 10% pension hike by Kolkata based SBI officers' union leader, I can't see any light.First of all, sub-staffs to scale-I officers in SBI have always been drawing 50% pension on their retirement as like their counterparts in Nationalised banks. Only difference is in Scale-II 46% then gradually in upper scales it reduces to 40%.So fighting for an executive in the rank of CM in Scale-IV to CGM in Special scale-I for this 50% drama, howfar is justified and acceptable to the rank and file is certainly questionable.A sub-staff sacrificing his days salary for the cause of a GM or CGM, looks funny as AISBOF alone cann't go for an indefinite strike without NCBE outfit of SBI award staff union.It can also be recalled that both unions were jointly participated on one week long strike for pension updation.NCBE does not have much base in other banks apart from SBI.So it can be confined itself completely with SBI employees cause.But AIBOC position is quite different.Apart from SBI it is also majority officers union in most of the nationalised banks.So there is also apprehention from each and every corner that G.D.Nadaf may loose his General Secretary position either in AIBOC or in AISBOF, if he fails to balance things of these superior & inferior complex between SBI and Nationalised Banks on wage settlement.
