Message For Bank Staff

It will not be wrong to say that disunity  among bank staff as visible on social sites has created a impression in the minds of IBA and GOI that there is no unanimity on demand , some are asking for flexibility in demand and some other are asking for rise in demand. This is why perhaps IBA and GOI  are rigid to their offer..

One day or two day or indefinite strike is a question to be decided by bank staff. But protest on one day strike will give an opportunity to IBA to further delay settlement.. Some staff favour indefinite strike whereas many other oppose indefinite strike because they are afraid of greater loss than profit they expect.

One cannot say with full firmness that all bank staff want Indefinite strike. If it is so , they should prove it by conducting meeting in all towns and cities and exhibit their strength and support. At this stage it is not wise to dilute the militancy of UFBU , rather all should prove today that Unity of Bank staff is solid and cannot be divided and diluted  by any mischievous individual or group.

We all have right to discuss, debate and express our views against or support  UFBU ,but should not take any such step which may give an opportunity  to enemy to crush out fight for wage hike.

If still some of staff feel that UFBU is not competent , they should take corrective step for next Bipartite Settlement from now itself.

But so far as Xth Bipartite Settlement is concerned, it is too late now to question the approach, attitude and line of action adopted by UFBU.

All bank staff are duty bound to wholeheartedly support the call given by UFBU. Bank staff have to stop late sitting, boycott government schemes in tactful way , expose the evils and misdeeds of IBA members to create pressure of IBA first and then on GOI.

मित्रों....
यह समय एकता बताने का है ना कि एकता तोड़ने का...
बैंकिंग क्षेत्र में इस समय बड़ी विकट परिस्थिति बनी हुई है...
आज जब सरकार भी बैंकर्स विरोधी है ऐसे समय जब मोदी की अधिकतर मीटिंग्स में सिर्फ प्राइवेट बैंक्स के प्रतिनिधि साथ रहते हैं।
जबी जनधन योजना में मेहनत हम करते हैं और HDFC बैंक पूरा इन्शुरन्स का फण्ड ले जाता है ।...

जब प्रीपेड टोलटैक्स के लिए सरकार AXIS बैंक के साथ करार करती है।
जब कॉस्ट 2 कंपनी मॉडल लागू करने सरकार यूनियन पर दवाब बनाये हुए है।

ऐसे समय हम यूनिटी तोड़ कर सही रास्ते पर नहीं हैं।
जैसा की मैं अपने पिछले पोस्ट्स में कहता आ रहा हूँ कि यूनियन के साथ साथ हम बैंकर्स भी उतने ही दोषी हैं।

कितने ऐसे लोग है जो UBFU का विरोध हैं लेकिन अगर कोई UBFU से अलग कुछ करता है तो ग्राउंड लेवल पर साथ आतें हैं??

जो 1 दिन की स्ट्राइक का रोना रोते हैं उनमे से 70℅ लोग पिछली किसी स्ट्राइक पर नहीं गए.... ये नहीं सोचते जो स्ट्राइक पर जा रहे हैं वो आपके ही साथी हैं..क्या यूनियन का साथ देने कोई मंगल ग्रह से आएगा???
सब सिर्फ मुंह चला सकते हैं अनिश्चितकालीन हड़ताल मगर यह नहीं समझते यह एक ब्रम्हास्त्र की तरह है चला दो वापिस नहीं ले सकते और अगर हड़ताल टूट गयी तो कहीं के न रहेंगे।

बहरहाल लोकतंत्र है सबके अपने अपने मत है लेकिन वर्तमान स्थिति उसी प्रकार है कि भारत का पाकिस्तान से युद्ध चल रहा हो और साथी अनिश्चितकालीन युद्ध को लेकर सरकार से समर्थन खींच कर सरकार गिरा दें||

After a careful thought, I decided to participate in General Strike today, not because of any fear of UFBU leaders, but because of the following reasons. 

1. A group of people constituting less than 1% of the banking fraternity (as on date) who are opposed to the style of functioning and approach of the UFBU, in regard to wage revision and service conditions of the bank staff cannot change the world overnight. This is a stark reality. We must accept this fact. 

2. By working on a strike day, we are only helping the management, who is a bigger enemy. Let's not forget this ever.

3. If you want to fight the current leadership of UFBU, openly challenge them in the official forums, whether you get opportunities or not. You may even dethrone them, whenever an opportunity arises. 

4. 'One day's strike or no strike' will not help us achieve our goals. At the same time, if we don't strike for our own cause, it will bring out our rift into the open and the general public will laugh at us. 

5. It's not the question of losing one day's wages for a useless purpose. Who knows, in future, we may also include a clause in the settlement (whenever it happens) that the period of strike will be adjusted with the leave available to the credit of the employees concerned. This privilege is available to all major Trade Union members, except to those in banks and insurance sectors. 

6. As I have been telling for the past 2 years, before resorting to strike action, follow 'Work to Rule'. Then all other things will follow. 'Work to Rule' will produce salutary results. 

7. You shall educate the customers and the common masses through popular media about the discrimination meted out to us, for no fault of ours. 

8. Tell them about huge NPAs and their creators. Certainly, we are not their creators. 

9. Catch the big fish first. If 60% of the top 50 NPAs in the banking industry are recovered, then there will be no need to fight for wage revision. 10. Force the present government under Modi's leadership to confiscate the personal wealth of the Directors/Partners of the major defaulters. Then, you may see for yourself that every other thing will fall in line.
