Dear Comrades,
10TH BIPARTITE DISCUSSIONS
MEETING OF IBA WITH
ELEVEN (11) NEGOTIATING UNIONS ON 12-08-2013
IBA's Negotiating Committee headed by Shri.T.M.Bhasin met the Eleven (11) negotiating unions on 12-08-2013 at IBA office in Mumbai. From the NUBE the undersigned participated.
We reiterated our demand raised in the meeting on 7th June, 2013 meeting with IBA as under
- There should be a time bound programme to complete the negotiations without much delay to arrive at the wage revision settlement at the earliest.
- the wage revision should be effective from 1st November 2012
- that new pay scale should be constructed by merging the DA at 4876 points i.e. the DA applicable to July- September, 2012 quarter
- we also submitted that in the proposed wage revision, the hike in wage load should be exclusive of the cost on pension and other superannuation benefits and also the cost of hospitalization expenses reimbursement
The IBA was gracious enough to consider our demand as below;
- The new wage settlement would be effective from 1st November, 2012, i.e. the date from which the 10th Bipartite Settlement is due.
- IBA agreed and conceded to merge Dearness Allowance upto 4440 Consumer Price Index i.e. 401)and construct new pay scales accordingly.
- recommendations for introduction of compassionate appointment scheme on similar lines prevailing in Central Government for its employees has been sent to Ministry of Finance, Govt. of India for its approval.
However in respect of increase in wage load while responding our demand, IBA indicated that the same would be kept in mind by them and wanted to study the cost impact of the merger before responding.
In respect of Reimbursement of Hospitalization Expenses IBA offered introduction of Mediclaim policy facility under which hospitalization expenses would be reimbursed by the insurance company upto Rs. 2 lacs for sub-staff, Rs. 3 lacs for clerical staff and Rs. 4 lacs for officers per year. Taking into account that hitherto the distribution of wage load under this scheme is only an infinitesimal fraction of total wage load, and that the industry wide scheme has been improved by many banks under the staff welfare fund which has stood the test of time, we contended that a objective study is required on the contents of the scheme offered before responding.
The management’s issues like introduction of cost to company method, Fixed Pay and Variable Pay concept were discussed. We once again reiterated our opposite views against the same as per tenor our earlier circular 3/13. However, the matter remained inconclusive.
IBA informed that they will shortly inform us the date for the next round of negotiations. We shall apprise you of further developments form time to time.
“Work for a cause, not for applause.
Live life to express, not to impress.
Don’t strive to make your presence noticed,
just make your absence felt”
With greetings,
Yours comradely,

BIPARTITE TALKS WITH IBA
Another
round of bipartite talks took place today in Mumbai between IBA and UFBU on our
demands for wage revision. IBA was
represented by their Negotiating Committee led by its Chairman Shri T M Bhasin.
UFBU was represented by all our nine constituent unions. The meeting condoled the death of Com. R J
Sridharan, Chairman, AIBOA, who was in the negotiating committee till 9th
Bipartite Wage Revision.
The meeting was held in a cordial atmosphere
and discussions were fruitful. In the day-long discussions held, satisfactory decisions
on some of the important issues could be arrived at. Continuing the discussions of the last
round of talks held on 7th June, 2013, we emphasised the need for
IBA to expedite and conclude the settlement in a time bound manner. We also asked them to react and respond to
the issues like date of effect for commencement of the revised wages, consumer
price index point up-to which Dearness Allowance is to be merged with basic pay
for construction of revised pay scales, quantum of wage revision, etc.
DATE OF EFFECT: In response, the IBA agreed that the new wage
settlement would be effective from 1st November, 2012, i.e. the date from which
the 10th Bipartite Settlement is due.
MERGER OF DA FOR
CONSTRUCTING REVISED PAY SCALES: IBA
explained their constraints to consider merger of Dearness Allowance at higher
index points. After prolonged discussions and on the insistence of the UFBU for
merger of D.A at a higher level to enable construction of Pay Scales in a
reasonable manner looking to the Pay Scales of employees and officers in
comparable sectors, IBA agreed and conceded to merge Dearness Allowance upto
4440 Consumer Price Index i.e. 401 slabs and construct new pay scales accordingly.
INCREASE
IN WAGE LOAD: On the offer of the
wage load increase, IBA wanted to study the cost impact of the merger before
responding. However, the UFBU reiterated its demand that the offer should
be exclusive of superannuation cost and improvements in other welfare
measures. IBA indicated that the same
would be kept in mind by them.
REIUBURSEMENT OF
HOSPITALISATION EXPENSES: To our demand
for 100% reimbursement of hospitalisation expenses incurred by the
employees/officers for self and eligible family members, IBA offered
introduction of Mediclaim policy facility under which hospitalisation expenses
would be reimbursed by the insurance company upto Rs. 2 lacs for sub-staff, Rs.
3 lacs for clerical staff and Rs. 4 lacs for officers per year. Looking to the
various implications of switching over to the new scheme and the need to
examine the pros and cons of the scheme, we said that a detailed study is
required on the contents of the scheme offered before responding.
MANAGEMENT’S
ISSUES: The management’s
issues like introduction of cost to company method, Fixed Pay and Variable Pay
concept were discussed and UFBU has given its strong views against the
same. However, the matter remained
inconclusive.
COMPASSIONATE
GROUND APPOINTMENT SCHEME: Another vital
issue, much dearer to all the bank employees, which is relentlessly being
pursued by the UFBU is restoration of compassionate appointments in the Banking
Industry. IBA informed us in today's meeting that its recommendations for
introduction of compassionate appointment scheme on similar lines prevailing in
Central Government for its employees has been sent to Ministry of Finance,
Govt. of India for its approval. No doubt, it is an important step in the
direction of restoring compassionate appointments in the Banking Industry which
is a long pending demand. While thanking the IBA for the positive step taken in
this direction, we earnestly hope that the Government would accord its approval
at the earliest.
Comrades, in today’s discussions, we could arrive
at conclusion on two vital issues i.e. date of effect and merger of dearness
allowance. We thank the team of the Negotiating Committee of IBA for this
forward movement in the discussions.
The date for the next round of discussions
will be decided in due course.
UNQUOTE
In response to one
of the issues of Management, we strongly clarified that we have a right to
negotiate for our members irrespective of their scales. The issue remained
unresolved. We shall keep you informed of the developments.
With
warm comradely greetings,
Yours comradely,
