AIBOC and AIBEA demand accountability and transparency from DFS in every decision taken by DFS be it career progression policy, PIL etc and they demand a structured consultation process. But they do not want to practice the same with regard to BPS negotiations. They make unilateral decisions which have a huge financial impact on pensioners, such as denying pension benefits on special allowance and agreeing that retirees should bear 100% of insurance premium etc without consulting retirees organizations.
Banks are spending lakh on conducting wage negotiations and union members also pay 200-400 crores for quality wage negotiations. So conducting meeting secretly in closed rooms lacks accountability and transparency.
proceedings of BPS meeting should be conducted by supervision of third party like a representative from DFS and proceedings should be video recorded. When Supreme Court proceedings are available online why not BPS.
