BANK EMPLOYEES TO STRIKE WORK ON FEB 7

[PM]

FOR INFORMATION:

                                             Nearly four lakh bank employees plan to strike work on February 7, demanding solution to demonetisation problems.

                 The strike call has been made by All India Bank Employees Association (AIBEA), All India Bank Officers Association (AIBOA) and Bank Employees Federation of India (BEFI).

On demonetisation issues, C. H. Venkatachalam, General Secretary, AIBEA said that bank employees want the Government and RBI to ensure supply of adequate cash to all banks and branches including regional rural banks and co-operative banks:

                 All Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) should be restored immediately and availability of cash in ATMs should be ensured, he added.

                

                They should remove all restrictions on withdrawal of cash by customers. "There is also need to stop favoritism in supply of cash to banks", he said.

There should also be a CBI enquiry on instances of huge new currency notes with some "big persons" when branches are starved of cash.

The Government must also provide compensation to family of general public, bank customers and bank staff who lost their lives recently due to demonetisation episode.

This is a Political Strike call given by Communist Party through AIBEA letter head. Since elections are going to be held in 5 states Communist Party want to discredit NDA govt to gain political advantage. For this they are using Bank employees. Are Bank employees have to loose their hard earned money for these political games by way of one day wages?

In this back ground we have to analyse whether strike is justified at this juncture.

Demonetization process is over on 30th December. Now there is no exchange of notes or Deposit of old notes in Banks. That work is shifted to RBI.

Weekly limits of Rs.24000/- is there. Since now ATMs are dispensing cash of Rs.10000/- per day. Any one can withdraw Rs.24000/-.:in three days without visiting Bank. To that extent work is reduced in branch. Small vendors or poor does not require Rs.24000/- every week. Then for whom AIBEA is batting for increasing withdrawal limit. 

AIBEA itself as a Banker has to explain to govt how cash supplied to Banks has reached in private hands instead of seeking answer from govt. Banks have already suspended several employees for supplying cash to agents of hoarders instead of general public. AIBEA want to pretend ignorance of it?Any how ED. IT and CBI officials are already on job to catch culprits. Let them do the job. Bank employees need not go on strike for this.

As regards AIBEA claiming damages for staff died while discharging duties. There are already norms for dealing with such cases. Even then it is internal matter and all unions have to take up the issue with management  without even raising issue with management can anybody go on strike ?

As regards compensation claimed by AIBEA for deaths occurred (mostly imaginary) due to demonetization. This is the duty of govt to find out truth and compensate them. How a trade union concerned vwith this. 

But AIBEA has to answer these.

Three High Courts have already decreed that Pensioners are eligible for 50% Basic from DOR.

Calcutta HC has demolished joint note of 2005 declining 100% DA to pre 2002retirers.

SC has passed final order in favour of CRS retirees fighting for second pension option.

But thousands of these retirees died without getting any benefit legally due to them. AIBEA is the co author of such agreements. AiBEA shedding tears for deaths of general public. But why not a single tear for thousands of retirees who died without getting any benefit.

Does AIBEA feel proud or shame for sending retirees of above 80 years to court for getting benefit?

Who will compensate these poor senior citizens AIBEA?

While you are grumbling for demonetization woes sitting AC homes these senior citizens helped banks during demonetization without expecting remuneration.

To day every retired feels that only courts can save them. Many bank employees are fed up with BPS and support Pay commission.

This speaks volumes on creditability of unions.

The strike call has no meaning when the common man has welcomed the demonetisation  .The left controlled unions are striking on non issue of bank employees The strike if it take place it will cause loss of one day salary to serving employees with out any future gain like wage revision.The unions have lost all wisdom in using the strike weapon on non issues .The public at large are have no sympathy towards bank strike.Even the members of the union are grumbling to take part in protest rallies and demonstrations leave alone strike . This is a political move and the govt will not care for such wild cat noise .

The issues which prompted Unions to plan strike call on 7th Feb, 2017 are of no importance except

 "There should also be a CBI enquiry on instances of huge new currency notes with some "big persons" when branches are starved of cash."

This unwarranted strike is only to exhibit the existence of unions and its leaders.

THE AIBEA AND UNIONS HAVE ONE AGENDA ON PAPER AND THE OTHER HIDDEN AGENDA FOR THEMSELVES.

[cpvnair]

Well said Somashekaraji.If the bank employees strike was to be conducted on demonetization issue, it was to take place in November or early December.Now the political parties have understood that common man at large supported demonetization as may thieves are being caught even now. If the I T dept officials are given more freedom within the constitutional provisions,more and more black money hoarders would be booked.

 

Now, coming to the elections to 5 states, I feel that NDA has edge in four states(except Punjab where SAD faces a high degree of anti incumbency).So all these agitations won’t have any effect.These anti bank retiree forces cannot do anything-be it AIBOC or AIBEA.People will have no problem out of these agitations now as demonetization exercise had given them enough training.So let these forces strike or sleep-let us not bother as they are totally anti bank retiree forces which work in tandem for spoiling us.Let us keep away from these gimmicks as we are not ‘gulams’ of these people.While in service, we toiled to launch enough agitations for the common good of the workforce.Now we see none to support us during our ailing time…

 

I wish to say ‘let them go to hell’ but I don’t due to my commitment to the ordinary members of these organizations and my old commitment to UFBU, a fighting organization once upon a time…

Existing employees of banks have no say in deciding the option of striking work or not because of retaliatory measures from union leaders. It is a fact that employees r dependent on leaders for their personal gains, especially a favourable posting. It is a known fact that the Unions and officer's assn.are left oriented as if they alone r people capable of fighting against central govt.for bank employees issues. We hav to remember that only 3 or 4 MPs r representing these parties in the  loksabha. Why can't they influence the ruling parties all along these years for the benefit of bankmen!?. There wil be no sincere public sympathy for Feb 7 strike.  It is the duty of RBI and bank managements to supply notes in adequate supply. Bank employees need to work only with the supplied volume.  Strike is unwarranted. Protest dharnas by old retirees is a futile attempt. It is a torture of old bank retirees to withstand the extreme Climate at delhi. Instead we could hav arranged the dharnas at state capitals.

The strike itself is politically motivated as their bosses are anti bjp.incidentally during  1970 s and 80 s the Communist parties are having a good rapport with Mrs Gandhi .Leaders also possess ed excellent  skills.and acted as a consultant even to the government employees organisation.we maintained high wage parity and union leaders made us to have a feel good factor and others were jealous of the financial sector employees status.

Now all knows the history and how poor we are placed. Union leaders are far short sighted and they are mainly responsible for this sorry state of affairs.

[Anantharaman Tg]

It is a good question Mr.Goplakrishnan, why they never sought after their representatives in Parliament

to get the grievances redressed.

[thomas vaittadan]

why do not the unions call for a strike ballot among the serving employees before calling a strike

I fully endorse the views of both sri SOMASEKHARA AND SRI NAIR ON STRIKE call given by THE LEADERS OF left controled unions which meaningless and lacks wisdom.

[bhaskara sarma]

Dear GOPALAKRISHNAN,

Already Dharnas were held in state capitals many times.But no tangible result is obtained.So now the dharna is proposed to be held in JANTAR MANTAR. I too agree that there may not be much benefit with one day Dharna. THERE SHOULD BE WIDESPREAD MEDIA COVERAGE BEFORE AND DURING DHARNA.The coverage must be in visual media. 

[R Jayaraman]

Not a must at this stage.   Jayaraman

[JSOMA SHEKARA]

Communist parties are well aware that Bank employees and retirees are not  their vote bank.

So none of the communist MPs in Parliament made any serious efforts to present our demands in Parliament. However they are clever to understand that by using bank employees and arranging bank strikes they can inconvenience general public and divert their anger against govt. Every time bank employees go on strike it is reported that total loss incurred is 20000 crores.  Whatever may be authenticity of such reports what will AIBEA by going on strike?

Employees will loose wages, public will suffer, industry incurs losses. Govt will not budge an inch. 

Who will gain by such strike.?

[K VASANTHAKUMAR NAIR]

This is just political gimmick by Communist trade union people.

I just want to ask the so called Leaders few questions:

1) what they did during the first month of demonitization to mitigate suffering of common people?

2) Why they allowed treacherous elements ,especially in Keralam to misguide innocent people?

3) Why they did not object to Communist maneuvers to even confuse poor aged pensioners that they will not get pensions if not stand in the que of Treasuries and banks and made them stand in ques from very wee hours onwards?

4)Why they did not correct Mr.Thomas Issac FM of Keralam when he said ' we have money, but not Currencies' completely confusing gullible persons about 'money movements'

5) Why they did not correct their Political masters when they went on objecting the rules and laws to be brought in to the co-operative Banking sector in the country?

6) Why they could not show the enthusiasm now they are showing to call a strike,when they could have asked the members of their unions  to educate poor innocent people about the facts about demonitization and the benefits of the using of the Financial Tool by central government?

7)Finally, why they kept quiet when unscrupulous elements in RBI shown special interests to supply fresh Currencies to New gen Pvt Banks like notorious Axis Bank, HDFC bank,I DBI Bank etc while depriving nationalised banks and old generation Private sector banks their dues?

There are umpteen number of such questions!

We all know your credibility.... and we all know you are now arranging this drama for your political masters......

It is true,we when ,were in active service meekly believed you and supported you all Leaders ....!!!!!!

But mark my words, you so called Bank union Leaders, Sooner than later you are all going to get kicked out by the young generation Bankers...who will be seeing through your selfish dirty games.

Till then,
God bless you to at least show remorse for what all negative circuses you have been doing in banking sector, and support our central government for the bold step it took to attack  the 'Black Economy ' of our great country.
Thank all.
K.Vasanthakumar Nair.

Dear sri. Vasanthkumar sir, u hav aptly questioned the bank union leaders and have u passed on these matters to the leaders directly exposing their intentions? The existing bank employees and retirees should be fully made aware of the intentions of  left political leaders who want to create chaoes continuously against the central govt. Whoever rules.This is especially in Kerala which we face recently. When there is no problems, they drag bank unions so that bank employees are not affected financially much since they can afford one day strike. Have the union leaders exhausted all avenues through discussions with RBI and IBA to settle the matter of currency shortage? There have been too many strikes for actions against high NPA holders. What is the result? Why should bank union s take up the issue of note hoarders when there is separate departments under IT and enforcement to probe such cases?                                                                                    Gopalakrishnab V,SBT retiree officer

Dear Sri Somashekara,

Where are MPs of Communist Parties in the Parliament ???? CPM has got 9 in Lok Sabha and 8 in Rajya Sabha. The CPI which is having a paltry ONE ( Com D.Raja) in Rajya Sabha and as an All India party has a big ZERO in Lok Sabha..Most shameful... Don't expect the lone member who is to side with AIBEA take up anything as he himself had to stoop down to a lowest level to get the support of AIADMK to get elected to Rajya Sabha....

Gone are the days when we had the CPM & CPI MPs along with the left leaning MPs in Congress alongwith RSP, Forward Bloc etc, raising their voices and holding the brief for the Bank Employees. Today we are at the mercy of the Government for anything as UFBU/ AIBEA/ AIBOC  have their own problems to tackle and they have no time for us as they have conveneiently forgotten that they also will have to retire!!!
