......our answer to all your banking needs

I think, this whole process is just making mockery of Bank employees. Unions have failed in their role to get a better deal. They are not either considering the issues of Officer Employees like working hours, load of pressure and career development etc. It is shame on them to receive the membership from the employees without making any help.

Now, it is reported that, they will deduct 5.00% out of 17.50% from the arrears as their levy!!! I don’t know, how union will demand such a huge amount from the employees for not doing anything. They should have self respect before making their demand towards the employees. They should introspect themselves with regard to their contribution to welfare of the employees against their demand for 5.00%.

From the developments, one thing is clear. We could have got a better deal, if there is no union exists in the settlement. Union leaders are shameless in nature. They have should have put in their papers, once they failed to get what they demanded.

Anyway, in Kannada there is a saying “KURIGALU SIR, NAAVU KURIGALU!” means, Bankers are like sheep always following the front one without applying any mind!! The trend of following the Union will not be changed in near future. So, LONG LIVE ALL THE UNIONS AND MAKE MERRY OF WAGE ARREARS FROM POOR OFFICERS.

Anil Batham says: " Why BPS is so delyed,and what is cooking inside,please clear the picture so that the employees may not kept in dark. A simple new graudate, MBA, B.TEC, MCA, BCA, BBA gets Rs. 25,000/- pm IN STARTING of his service while the more than 70% after complete of 25 year,s in bank service with a lot of experience  is getting less than the same. Bank employee average loan outstanding is near 7 to 12 lacs which intt is 1/2 of his gross salary which he pay back to the bank.and pays regular instalment with out fail. But the industrial & business men loan with low rate of intt become bad. In some cases when a bank employee death in service his all terminal dues could not cover his loan outstanding, so the position of bank men is worse than worse-----------------.
And if he do mistake in working due to lot of pressure a charge-sheet is always ready for rules and regulations. Now days they are sitting late like before 1969 & and called in even Sundays & Public holidays.  

Karunakaran Duraisamy says : "I joined  a nationalised bank for  a salary of Rs.310/- per month.  In those days, for a year or two  we had some OT wages, bonus etc.  When  they were withdrawn, the unions kept quite.   Once upon a time, the bankers wages were compared to   ‘high wage island in a pool  of  poverty’.  Now  ‘beggars association’ is the nick name.  Who is the culprit for all these  anomalies?  Definitely the  IBA  and  our beloved Union  leaders.

They have been meeting, talking regarding the wages  for years together.  If  they drag on for some more years,  they can add and conclude the next bipartite also  and the talks may also be very easy because by then  the majority of the retired staff waiting for pension may not be alive to receive the pension. When  IBA is not ready to give a few crores to the lakhs of employees working for more than 12 hours a day,  it is  waiving the  loans of  its borrowers  to the tune of Rs.25000 crores in the last 3 years, quite silently.

I opted for special VRS 2000, of course with pension.  The VRS is so special  that IBA never allowed us, TA bills, medical benefits etc.  When the 5 year addition in calculating pension also was denied, retired people approached the court  and  IBA  without any shame or justice in its side, dragged the matter upto Supreme Court, for around  8 years, only to get its face blackened by the judiciary. The Unions, now entering in talks on behalf of retired employees kept quite.  The retired people won the case against banks on their own and  the banks still were lucky  to   get the benefit of a few crores by way of non payment of interest on the pension arrears  for 8 to 9 years.  IBA  never seems to have  had the gratitude towards its own employees, but when it comes to waiver of loans,  thousands of crores are being waived for strangers who got loans and cheated the banks.

When  I wrote to the unions regarding the  5 year addition as per pension regulations, one union wrote to me that ‘they are not in favour of VRS and if the VRS optees are getting the benefit, they will not object’.

Is this the union leaders fighting for bank employees?   What basis they have to talk on behalf of the retired employees, when they are not ready to fight for the correct  implementation of the pension  regulations , when  IBA distorts the rules.  Already the pensioners are getting their DA increased once in 6 months.  And if IBA refuses  even that, only retire employees have to fight upto Supreme Court spending money from their packet, while IBA will fight with depositors money.

When the  most corrupt  state and central govt. employees are getting  a  better pay, it is a pity that the bank employees who cannot dream anything more than the DA raise once in 3 months  are neglected and punished by the IBA and UFBU combine.

The highly educated  and strongest unionised bank  employees have become pawns in the hands of  Union leaders and  IBA  and  the union  leaders want to show the pension  option as  a  big  victory,  while  RBI, SBI had the second option  earlier than now without any fight or argument.   While  SBI employees doing the same work as nationalized bank employees got all the 3 benefits of  Pension, PF, Gratuity,  our leaders make more noise with the  ‘one more pension option’  to hide their failure or to conceal their hidden  agenda.  Bank  employees,  I pity you.  Take care of your health before falling in high BP, stroke, heart attack  etc.  by your dedicated work.  Learn from leaders. Your education  etc. has taken your back bone to fight.  When even SBI employees are launching indefinite strike, your leaders are making mockeries with one day, two day strikes for years together.  Atleast try to select honest , bold, energetic,  and selfless leaders hereafter.

Kamal Gulati says : "I would like to congratulate Mr.Anjali Devika P. for his bold and right views in his article "Unions are fighting for what?"

In my opinion the unions are fighting for the total suicide of the officers community who is till date waiting and depending on such a class of leaders who can not forsee the results of this delay. It is true that the present leadership does not have any vision otherwise two and half years time is not less for working out the modalities and pay scales in a respectabel manner. they had not even done any exercise before submitting the charter of demands. They do not have the data related to 5th and 6th Pay commissions, they do not know where were we at the time of the implementation of the Pillai Committee report in the Banking.  Instead of fighting for the upward revision of the scales at the initial level they are trying to pull down the scales from 58000/- to 47000/- by giving ruthless justifications.

We would thanks to the Chairman of the IBA for his stand and would like to request him not to budge to the pressure of these leaders.
May God bless our leaders the right vision.
 

D J says :" In olden days there was a favouite saying " Man is the Maker of his own Destiny" but if we look in today's scenario it has completely been changed to "Man is the Destroyer of his Destiny" . Coz we are trusting such idiots who just think of themselves and nobody else.

Today almost all the association persons are roaring what they have done for the Bankers in olden days and now they are fighting for their right but nobody is highlighting what have they done despite fullfilling of their own interest and I wont regret in saying that over the years these people  (So called Self Declared Leaders) have done nothing except exaggerating about themselves.

They have wasted three complete months for unnecessary demands like HRA, CCA, Hospitalization Rates. They are talking of pension for those people who have already left the bank but not thinking for those who are working Day and Night. It has been Correctly said that " those who stand for someting will Fall for Nothing". and same is going to happen with all these peoples. Very Correctly said, a clerk in Central Govt. is getting higher than a Senior Officer but who is at fault : the answer is US coz we have been believing those people who dont have the wisdom to analyse.

Raise your Voice against these Leaders make them realize about what actully we want and why time and again they forget  after doing 80% of the work by 20% like us.

DO YOU HAVE IT IN YOU
