I am posting link to my five year old blog wherein I had clearly expressed that it would be blunder if UFBU accepts Medical insurance scheme proposed by IBA to replace Banks hospitalisation scheme.
Now after 5 years of committing that blunder of accepting Medical Insurance, UFBU to some extent and members in large number have realised how insurance scheme is proving to be a burden for all.
Insurance companies are raising their premium year after year on the one hand and on the other Private hospitals have started raising their charges on all types of tests, fees and charges. This is called double attack. To add fuel to fire is that doctors in collusion with hospitals and pathological labs have started prescribing unwarranted tests and operations to earn more and more incentives.
It is time for bank employees to revolt and kick out leaders who in disguise of their protectors are exploiting and sucking blood of bank employees.

Similarly I would like to suggest bank employees to stick to their demand for quicker and better wage revision and force government to accept reasonable demands with due respect to bank employees so that they may be in a position to execute their plan of merger and consolidation of public banks in easily, smoothly and without any hinderence to customer service and without any fall in business.
Focus on Wage Revision and Stop Protesting Merger plan
When some bank employees and some of their leaders start polishing person like Ravish Kumar and Kanhaiya Kumar for wage revision and when others remain silent spectator of such happenings, there is least doubt that bank employees fate will continue to suffer for some time till a real militant leader emerge and take the lead.
Majority of experienced bank employees have seen several times in the past that their leaders gave call for strike for non-banking and political reasons only, they seldom gave value to wage hike and other amneties available to bank staff.
It is the need of the hour that bank employees as well as their leaders understand the role of PSU banks and help government in running banks as is appropriate in the given situation. Bank staff should not bother whether banks are merged or demerged, whether government dilute their stake or increase it and whether government ask to lend in this sector or other. It is the prerogative of owners of the business to decide how to run a business entity.
Bank employees and their leaders must however make all possible efforts to increase their pay packages and comfort of service as per need of the time and as other sectors grow. They should undoubtedly focus on earning maximum profit under available resources and in framework of government policies.
Do not Fear Privatisation
Rightly said sir
