‘UFBU Meeting held on 15.07.2014
Dear Comrades,
We append below the text of the communication of UFBU issued on the proceedings of the above meeting as under: -
“UFBU Circular:
The representatives of Constituent Unions of UFBU met on 15th July 2014 at Mumbai, subsequent to the submission of Memorandum to the Hon’ble Minister of Finance on 27th June 2014, to discuss and decide on the strategies to be adopted for early conclusion of wage settlement. The meeting observed a minute’s silence as a mark of tribute and paid homage to Shri Ajay Sehgal, Chief Manager of Punjab National Bank, who committed suicide by jumping in front of a train due to the humiliation and constant harassment of his senior officials.
The meeting also passed a unanimous resolution condemning the humiliation and harassment meted out to Shri Ajay Sehgal that has resulted in his untimely death and irreparable loss to his family members.
Thereafter, it was deliberated at length on the future course of action and strategies to be adopted for expeditious wage settlement. The meeting expressed its unhappiness on the silence of IBA despite a lapse of more than a month since last meeting on wage negotiations and noted with concern the lackadaisical attitude of IBA in not conducting the meetings on wage negotiations regularly.
The representatives of constituent unions extensively discussed on all the major issues concerning wage revision such as wage components, method of arriving at the cost and other issues such as Five-day banking, regulated working hours for officers, Health Insurance, improvements in pension/family pension schemes, etc. and unanimously decided to approach IBA with a consensus view on all the issues.
Subsequent to the meeting with Shri Arun Jaitley, Hon’ble Minister of Finance, Government of India by the delegation of UFBU on 27th June 2014, keeping in view the pre-occupation of the Government on account of parliament session, submission of budget and requirement of reasonable and sufficient time to examine our issues, the representatives of constituent unions felt that UFBU shall approach the Government once again for its intervention in the matter for early wage settlement.
The meeting also deliberated upon the reforms in the banking industry, more particularly arising out of recommendations of PJ Nayak Committee, such as reduction in Government share-holding, merger of banks, etc. and decided to consolidate views and express concerns to the Government and decide further course of action thereafter. The meeting unanimously decided as under:
(i) To send a communication to IBA for conduct of Meeting on wage negotiations immediately without any further delay and also for conduct of such meetings at frequent intervals;
(ii) To approach Government once again seeking intervention of Hon’ble Minister of Finance towards expeditious wage settlement;
Comrades, the impediments in wage negotiations are known but nothing can stop us from achieving a respectable wage revision.
Let us march ahead with full determination and commitment to reach our goal. Let us be in readiness always for further agitation programmes, if need be, including strike actions. Sd/- M V Murali, Convenor. This is for your information please.
With warm greetings.
Yours comradely,
TR Verma,
General Secretary

11th Installment ‘War Against Humiliation’ -An endless Pious Mission of AIPNBOF

Shri K.R. Kamath Chairman and Managing Director Punjab National Bank NEW DELHI
Sir,
REG: Lack of Institutional leadership at Field level –
Demand corrective actions Adequate compensation to the bereaved family. We hasten to draw your attention to the scores of communications addressed by our affiliate All India Punjab National Bank Officers‟ Federation emphasising the urgent need to evolve a “mid course correction exercise” in dealing with human assets of the Bank. We are sad to note in an earlier occasion the Field General Manager had brutally slapped the Branch head, as if the relationship between two Executives are of “Master and Servant” and the business handled by the Branch head was of personal business of the Zonal head and your Bank. At that time also, our affiliate had brought the matter to your knowledge and your administration had extended “velvet” touch treatment to the „erred functional field executives”.
This time, the cruelty exhibited by the Field Functionaries is inhuman, highly objectionable and also reprimandable one by the law of the land. Suffocation andhumiliation led to sacrifice of his life as a fall out of the business conference conclave exercise. The suicide note clearly establishes their involvement, which is a provocative in nature. At last, one of your colleague had taken an extreme step, thereby leaving the entire family in lurch. Does this action of your “Field level Functionaries” deserve deep condemnation coupled with severe punishment or not ? It should be an eye opener to all, who are expected to function with their head on their shoulder in the Public Sector Institutions. Having expressed with severe sadness over the developments, which was an unwarranted provocation, AIBOA urges upon you to consider the following:
[a] Initiate appropriate action against the two officials who have caused a “scar” on the Institution by their uncivilized conduct.
[b] Consider substantial compensation to the bereaved family [i] If the children are studying in college, Bank should bear the total expenses of education till they complete the course. [ii] Monetary compensation should be equal to as if the officer employee is in service, till retirement. [iii] Compassionate ground appointment of the dependent as per the desire of bereaved family
[c] A detail circular pertaining to the conduct of Business development meeting with due recordings should be issued immediately. We request you to initiate every reasonable steps to arrest the sagging morale of the officer staff in your Bank, as the business figures are negative when compared to March 2014.
Please acknowledge.
Yours faithfully, /
S.NAGARAJAN/
GENERAL SECRETARY
This is for your information please. We convey our sincere thanks to AIBOA for extending their whole hearted support to us in the crucial time. Yours comradely,
