DRAFT LETTER FOR RESIGNATION FROM UNION MEMBERSHIP

BY

NAVNEET THAKUR

The e-mails received from our readers, clearly indicates the general mood against the settlement and disappointment has resulted in desperation among the bank employees and there is a strong wave against unions - all unions irrespective the affiliation. Bank employees, wants to resign from unions.   We have been sent the following letter, which appears to have been submitted by some of the employees of nationalised banks.   We are uploading this letter for the convenience of the employees who want to take similar action.   However, we would like to caution the employees, as to whether this is the only solution?  Should union leaders be held responsible and there should be change of guards?  Is there not a need for a large scale change in all unions?  May be resignation is the only alternative available as most of the unions are held  by people who bully the empoloyees who speak against the working of these organisations.  Let our friends decide for themselves. 

Dear Sir,

Sub: Resignation from Union Membership.

Referring to the above matter, we have to say that 9th Bipartite Settlement reached by the UFBU has been unsatisfactory to a large extent and has unmotivated the young officers of the Bank. The settlement has not taken into account the actual cost of living and wage standards prevalent in the other public sector institutions. The wage increase is paltry and is not expected to support a decent standard of living associated with the respective designations over the next five years. Also, the gap between the bank employee wages and wages of other Govt. Services have widened over the years leading to an inferior quality of living when compared to personnel of same designations in other organizations. This has been mainly due to unfair bipartite settlements done by UFBU over the years. The expectations of young officers have been jeopardized by UFBU and we have lost confidence and faith in UFBU. We do not expect any amelioration in the present condition of the employees even in future with respect to wage negotiations with UFBU being the representing body of Bank Employees as the same is lead by retired officers who neither understand the expectations of serving employees nor reflect the true leadership of the bank employees. They have been using these platforms to their political and economical advantage by extracting a major share of these settlements for their own benefits without looking into the plight of the current serving employees. We are also against the mindless strikes being called by the unions that are deviating from the core issues of employee welfare. Moreover, these developments have left us demoralized and have shaken our spirits & expectations.

In view of the above, we hereby submit our resignation from the Union and we request you to stop the deduction of Union Subscription from our salaries with effect from December 2009.

Thanking You,

Yours Sincerely,
