WHAT
SHOULD BE DONE NOW BY UFBU / IBA
by
K BALASUBRAMANIAN
Without standing on
false prestige IBA can allow a starting salary of 15000 to officers as
against the government class I SCALE of 15600. A running
scale 15000-60000 with very decent increments to DGM and GM who are
executives of the banks can be considered. Let them have some respect in
the society and let them be at least equal to the Secretary level and above
. PLEASE
HELP THEM TO KEEP THE INSTITUTION S PRESTIGE. SALARY LEVEL REFLECTS THE
INSTITUTION STATUS
In
place of grade pay Rs. 5400, they can introduce the concept of variable pay
on an experimental basis from prospective effect i.e. from 01.04.2010.
By this the employees may stand to gain however small the amount may be over
and above the present agreed increase and will narrow the lo………ng gap
prevailing between government officers and bank officers . This incentive
if any can be given on adhoc basis ie equal amount to all officers or on
scale wise so that juniors can derive some benefit.
Since majority of the officers are availing lease facility IBA CAN
CONSIDER increasing HRA to at least 20% which can be increased to
government employees level in next settlement. THIS SHOULD NOT BE INCLUDED
IN THE COST. This also can be given from prospective date 01.04.2010
will give relief to self occupied properties of officers .
Clerical starting pay can be 50% of the starting scale of officers and
ending can be 40%. A running scale of
7500-24000 with least 23 stages so as to avoid frustration at the senior
level and to give them relief from
stagnation increments for years together. Substaff salary starting
should be 90% of the clerical starting and ending 70%. 6750-16800 with
at least 23 stages so as to avoid stagnation.
The above proposals are the minimum need based wage revision based on the
parity theory and not on
earlier bipartite theory and rest of the things can be considered by
appointing a committee and to bring parity at least in future . LET IBA
CONSIDER ITSELF AS A PAY COMMISSION JUDGE AND LET IT DO JUSTICE WITHOUT
CALLING FOR NEGOTIATION . FOR GIVING BETTER HIKE THAN WHAT WE ARE
EXPECTING NEGOTIATION IS NOT NECESSARY. ALL BANKMEN WHOLEHEARTEDLY THINK
WELL OF IBA AND MINISTRY.POOR BANK PENSIONERS ALLOW IMMEDIATE 100% DA
RELIEF TO PRE 01.11.2002 PENSIONERS AS AGREED BY PARLIAMENTARY
COMMITTEE AND SAVE THEM FROM THE CLUTCHES OF INFLATION. PRE 01.11.2002
PENSIONERS ARE ALSO LIVING IN THIS WORLD ALONGWITH OTHER BANKMEN AND
GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES/PENSIONERS BUT WITH MUCH REDUCED PENSION. GIVE THEM
SOME LIGHT BY ANNOUNCING 100% NEUTRALIZATION IMMEDIATELY.
FINALLY BY ALLOWING PENSION UPDATION ALSO ON PAR WITH GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES
IBA CAN COMPLETE ITS ROLE AND UNDO WHAT ARE THE INJUSTICES THAT IT HAS DONE
TO BANKMEN SINCE INCEPTION. LET THE PRESENT TEAM DO PARIHARAM FOR THE PAPAM
COMMITTED BY VARIOUS ERSTWHILE EXECUTIVES VIABILITY OF THE PROPOSAL ALL THE
STATE GOVERNMENTS AND
CENTRAL GOVERNMENT ARE IN SEVERE DEBT CONDITION ( courtesy dinamalar daily
25JAN 09) WHERE AS BANKS ARE IN GREEN EVEN ABSORBING ALL THE
GENUINE/POLITICAL WRITE OFF . IT IS STANDING LIKE A ROCK BECAUSE OF THE
DEDICATION OF ONE MILLION EMPLOYEES. SO REWARD THEM INSTEAD OF PUNISHING
THEM ALLOW THE INDUSTRY TO BE PROUD BY ALLOWING THE EMPLOYEES AND
PENSIONERS TO DRAW MORE SALARY AND MAKING THEM HAPPY .MAKE THEM BLESS AND
DON’T ALLOW THEM TO CURSE. FINALLY ONE LUMP SUM INCREMENT TO ALL FOR
THEIR PATIENCE SINCE 01.11.2007 WHICH WILL FURTHER IMPROVE THEIR PAY PACKET
. DON’T WORRY THEY CAN NOT CATCH THE GOVERNMENT SALARY LEVEL .WHICH IS
HAVING THE HIGHEST CAPACITY TO PAY BY INCREASING THE FISCAL/REVENUE DEFICIT.
