Respected Sir,
M E M O R A N D U M
We, the
employees and officers working in ___________________________
(Name of the
Branch)
of
______________________________ submit as under:
(Name of the
Bank)
Our wages are
due for revision from 01.11.2012 as the previous wage settlement signed between
the Indian Banks’ Association (IBA) and the Workmen Unions & Officers’
Associations has expired on 31-10-2012. In order to negotiate the revision of
the wages and service conditions of bank employees and officers, all the Unions
under the banner of United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) have submitted common
charter of demands in October, 2012. The formal negotiations have started in
February, 2013 and till now only 5 rounds of discussions have taken place with
IBA. Except agreeing to the date of effect of wage revision and merger of
Dearness Allowance with Basic Pay at 4440 CPI, no significant improvement is
made in the wage negotiations. Despite the repeated requests of UFBU, IBA has
not come out with their offer of increase on the demands raised by the Unions.
Further, on
receipt of strike notice from UFBU, IBA came with a very meager offer of 5%
increase in the pay slip components which was not at all acceptable to unions.
Every effort was made by UFBU with IBA for substantial increase in the offer of
increase. But, no improvement in the offer was made by IBA. In the situation,
the one day All India Strike on the 18th
December 2013 became inevitable.
It will be
appreciated that the alarming and unabated price rise seriously eroded the
income of the employees and hence the wage revision has become more important.
The Consumer Price Index has gone up by almost 2400 points under (1960=100)
Index series since November, 2007. Hence wage revision to catch up with the
high inflation and price rise has become an urgent necessity.
Similarly, the
workload in the bank branches has gone up substantially due to increase in
total volume of business and also due to non-provision of adequate staff and
officers in the branches. Though we hail and welcome the decision of Government
for financial inclusion, disbursement of financial assistance/subsidies of the
Government through Banks linking Aadhar Cards and implementation of schemes
under financial inclusion have tremendously increased the work load. Employees
and officers are working under a lot of stress and strain. The job profile of
the staff has also undergone a change and all these require to be properly
remunerated with adequate increase in wages.
Hence, we seek
your kind intervention towards early settlement of wage revision and shall be
glad if you please arrange to expedite the negotiations between IBA and UFBU in
a time-bound manner and conclude the settlement at the earliest.
Thanking you,
Yours
sincerely,
