Bank employees to go on strike from Jan 21-The Hindu-19.01.2015
Public sector bank employees have decided to go on a 4-day strike from January 21 to protest against the “rigid and callous attitude” of Central Government in resolving the long pending wage revision issue, a senior union leader said on Monday.

Earlier, it was decided to hold one day strike on January 7, which was deferred on the request of IBA to find out an amicable solution, All India Bank Officers’ Confederation (AIBOC) State Secretary Deepak Kumar Mr. Sharma said.

 

 

The decision is in response to the strike call given by United Forum Of Bank Unions, which has more than ten lakh employees and officers of banking Industry under its umbrella.

“As there was no fresh proposal of hike from the side of IBA during this period, UFBU has decided to go ahead with the four-day strike which will have the impact of 6 days as 25th is Sunday and 26th January is national holiday,” Mr. Sharma added.

 

The wage revision for bank employees is due from November one, 2012, he said.

UFBU has been requesting, since the start of negotiations, a time-bound approach to hold the negotiations on its demands and for conclusion of wage settlement within a reasonable time but there is no significant progress in the wage negotiations despite a lapse of two years’ time, he said.

 

He claimed that despite disparity in wages and hardships of unlimited working hours, the employees of the banking industry, the backbone of the economy, are denied their due share.

 

Mr. Sharma said this was despite the workers being recognised by all for achieving all National/Social objectives set before them including opening of Jan0Dhan Yojna Accounts.”

 

He said the Public Sector bank employees have also decided to go on an indefinite strike from March 16 onwards and that the notice in this regard has already been served by UFBU to the IBA.

Action plan of IBA May be
...

1. AIBEA leaders may declare that they are not prepared for 4 day strike as it effect employee take home.
2. IBA may opines that since the 7/1/15 Strike deferred this four day strike also cannot be persuaded by the trade unions as it was communicated originally in the form of same notice.
3. IBA may prompt the chamber of commerce to file a PIL (Public Interest Litigation) against strike in Supreme Court.
4. IBA is threatening the officers association that it cannot go on strike as they are not governed under Industrial dispute act.
5.AIBEA which has got the right to go on strike has already been convinced to withdraw the strike and another group which has started its operations recently from Varanasi is advised by IBA to go to court against UFBU.
