BOYCOTT STRIKE OF 27.6.2022
W H Y ...?
It is pointless, fruitless, purposeless strike of 27.6.222. Read the reason for the strike carefully. The strike call is based on an allegation that the IBA "undue delay" in "talks" on 5 issues. On delay strike? The delay was even 42 months of talks, but those issues were not resolved, which are being said to be very important today? However, the allegations are contrary to the facts. Records say that IBA held talks with unions on December 10, 2020, January 4, 2021, July 22, 2021 and also on June 8, 2022, the day the strike was decided. So the allegation that there is "undue delay or no talks no" is completely baseless!
Before meeting with IBA on 8.6.2022, unions had decided to strike on 27.6.2022 in their meeting, but when meeting with IBA was held, unions did not inform IBA about the decision of strike. Why didn't they tell? It was not informed, because the reason for the strike was baseless. The IBA was talking from time to time and IBA was able to prove it. The talk was also happening on 8.6.2022. Not only this, the most important issue, privatization of banks and strike of 27.6.22 was not even mentioned in the meeting held on 16.6.222 with the Finance Minister. What's the point of this hide and seek game?
On 16th June, the strike maniac placed before the Hon'ble Finance Minister some mundane issues like appointment of officers/employees Directors, rescheduling of welfare fund post merger of banks, removal of GST from health insurance premium. This is his statement, which may also be fake. No memorandum was given, it is true. The most surprising thing is that he did not mention the strike due to "undue delay" on the part of IBA in his "talks" to the Finance Minister. The issues which are going to lead to the strike were not touched and the most unfortunate situation was that the most burning issue - privatization of banks - was not touched upon.
There is still a deep cloud of doubt on the purpose of the meeting with the Finance Minister. Experts believe that this meeting took place as part of the endeavor through D. Raza and his wet cat-like body language, which has been filtered through the camera, is telling that he had appeared in the Finance Minister's court to prove his innocence. . If he had met, he had to say something. So, he mentioned about the appointment of directors, rescheduling of welfare funds, abolition of GST from health insurance premium, all of which are currently irrelevant and common issues.
There was no talk of pension revision pending for two and a half decades, on which Hon'ble Finance Minister herself has expressed her great concern, because this gentleman himself does not want pension revision to happen. In the meeting held before the Chief Labor Commissioner (Central) on 21.6.2022, the issue of pension revision remained missing.
Banking, NPS for 5 days Banking, scrape NPS and restore Old Pension Scheme were the demands before the Chief Labor Commissioner (C) to which IBA was to give a time bound undertaking fir "settlement" to withdraw the proposed strike. See, the strike is due to "undue delay in talks", but the demand turned into a "time bound settlement" before the CLC (C). The point of consideration is, how can IBA agree to a direct "settlement" commitment without talking? IBA's refusal to accept the condition of time bound settlement is justified. Settlement or no settlement, it's only after negotiations. IBA is right here.
Secondly, who doesn't know that on the working day/ hours, NPS and O.P.S. are the parts of a bilateral agreement/joint note? Remedy for raising and resolving any matter related to agreement or joint note proceeds through Charter of Demands. This is not any other issue out of settlement/ joint notes, but a part of service conditions. The time for submitting the next COD has started from May 2022. Make these issues a part of your COD, no matter how many days, as many times, negotiate, compromise or do not compromise. It is absolutely not right to go on strike by fooling the bank workers, deducting their salary and harassing the customers.
Due to the exploits of the Unions, (1) the Old Pension Scgeme was lost through the Settlement, (2) NPS introduced by Agreement, (3) Special allowance was made by deducting Basic Pay between 7.75% 11.5% w.e.f. 1.11.2012 through agreement, (4) Special Allowance was enhanced to 16.4% w.e.f. 1.11.2017, which is out of pension calculation, it came through settlement, (5) Instead of every Saturday Half-Day, two Saturdays were made full holidays by agreement.(6) Pension revision is not being done with the concurrence of unions despite being in RBI/NABARD, (7) pension is not being given to the resignees with the consent of unions, (8) bank pension is a copy of central govt pension, but with the consent of the unions, there are no reforms that have taken place in the central pension. Everything is happening with the consent of the unions! Special Allowance For which particular work, can a union specify? Pension is a part of service conditions, then how come wage settlements bypassing pension revision? The provision of special allowance has been made only for reducing pension of 50% of the basic pay. All pre- 2010, employees and officers are a victim.
In such a situation, every employee and officer working in the banks will have to come forward and STOP the arbitrariness of the Unions' leaders. It's method is BOYCOTT of Unions, STOP subscription & levy, BOYCOTT the strike, boycott/disdain of leaders. If this is a rebellion, then the same is true, but if the unions are to be saved, then the wrong decisions of the leaders and their exploits will have to be strongly opposed and retaliated.
A fool can make history, but it takes a wise man to write it." - Oscar Wilde
So, BOYCOTT THE STRIKE OF 27.6.222!

"Dear friends,
Namaskar
In today's meeting, IBA was not willing to discuss core issues of FIVE DAY BANKING & UPDATION OF PENSION in the upcoming meeting even then other leaders agreed to differ the strike. But, NOBW stressed to go on strike till both vital and genuine demands of Bankers were not included in upcoming discussion. In result IBA agreed on this.
"The firm stand of *NATIONAL ORGANISATION OF BANK WORKERS (Industrial Federation of Bhartiya Mazdoor Sangh in Banking Industry)* led the inclusion of both vital points in the agenda and then only *NOBW* gave consent to differ the strike .
"We reiterated our demands. IBA agreed to commence negotiations on our demands on *1st July 2022*. Hence it is decided to defer our agitation and strike on 27th JUNE 2022."

बेशक, यूनियनें बैंककर्मियों को
चकमा दे रहे हैं, पीछे हटने के अलावा
उनके पास कोई रास्ता नहीं था!
23.6.22 की सुलह कार्यवाई में तो बड़ी-बड़ी यूनियनें ने हथियार डालते हड़ताल वापस लेने पर सहमत हो गईं।
सुलह बैठक में NOBW के प्रतिनिधि ने मूल मुद्दे, 5 दिवसीय बैंकिंग तथा पेंशन रिवीजन पर कड़ा रुख लेते, ऐसे हड़ताल वापस न लेने पर अड़ गया।
NOBW के महामंत्री ने संदेश जारी करते निम्न बातें कहीं:
"आज की बैठक में, आईबीए आगामी बैठक में पांच दिवसीय बैंकिंग और पेंशन के अद्यतन के मुख्य मुद्दों पर चर्चा करने को तैयार नहीं था, फिर भी अन्य नेता हड़ताल वापस के लिए सहमत हुए। लेकिन, NOBW ने हड़ताल पर जाने पर जोर दिया, जब तक कि बैंककर्मियों की महत्वपूर्ण और वास्तविक दोनों मांगों को आगामी चर्चा में शामिल नहीं किया जाता। नतीजे में आईबीए इस पर राजी हो गया।"
यह इनसाइड स्टोरी है। जिंदा रहना है तो किसी न किसी को अड़ना तो पड़ेगा। अगर NOBW की मानें तो अन्य बड़ी यूनियनों का दोहरा चरित्र सामने दिखता है। हमें भरोसा नहीं, कोर मुद्दों, 5 दिवसीय बैंकिंग और पेंशन रिवीजन, पर बातचीत और समझौते के आश्वासन के बावजूद आईबीए कुछ गंभीर करेगा, क्योंकि बड़ी यूनियनों की वफादारी और जमीर को वह खरीद चुका है। यूनियनें वही करेंगीं, थो आईबीए चाहेगा। बहरहाल, ज्यादा दिन इंतजार नहीं करना है, 1 जुलाई, 2022 की बैठक में फुल पिक्चर आएगी।
UNDOUBTEDLY, UNION LEADERS
WERE DODGING BANKMEN, THEY
HAD NO OTHER OPTION,
BUT TO SURRENDER....
In the conciliation proceedings of 23.6.22, the major unions agreed to withdraw the strike by laying down arms.
In the conciliation meeting, the representative of NOBW, taking a tough stand on the basic issue, 5-day banking and pension revision, was adamant on not withdrawing such strike.
While issuing the message, the General Secretary of NOBW said the following things:
"In today's meeting, IBA was not willing to discuss core issues of FIVE DAY BANKING & UPDATION OF PENSION in the upcoming meeting even then other leaders agreed to differ the strike. But, NOBW stressed to go on strike till both vital and genuine demands of Bankmen were not included in upcoming discussion. In result IBA agreed on this."
This is the inside story. If you want to stay alive, someone has to take stand. If NOBW is to be believed, the dual character of other big unions is visible. We are not sure, despite assurance for talks and settlement on core issues, 5-day banking and pension revision, IBA will do something serious as it has bought the loyalty and conscience of the big unions' leaders. Unions' leaders will do what the IBA would like. However, don't wait too long, the full picture will come in the meeting on July 1, 2022.
