[PM]

For Information:


AIBEA.
CIRCULAR NO. 28/24 [ 4/2020/82 12-10-2020
TO ALL UNITS AND MEMBERS:


Dear Comrades,


AIBEA OFFICE BEARERS MEETING HELD TODAY


Meeting of the Office Bearers of AIBEA was held today evening through
Google Talk App. All the Office Bearers were present. Our President
Com. Rajen Nagar presided over the meeting.
Condolence: The meeting conveyed its condolence over the death of
Union Minister Shri Ram Vilas Paswan, Com N Sundaramurthy, President
of AILICEF and all other personalities who passed away during the recent
period.


Call for Strike on 26th November, 2020:

In terms of the decision
taken in the last Central Committee meeting of AIBEA, it was decided to
endorse the call given by National Convention of Workers and observe
strike action on 26th November, 2020.
Wage Revision: The developments relating to wage revision
negotiations with IBA was reported and the meeting noted that the
discussions are proceeding in the right direction. It was decided that all
efforts should be taken to expedite the Settlement to thwart the
increasing attempts of various inimical forces to create impediments and
to scuttle the Settlement.


Medical Insurance Scheme for Retirees:

The meeting welcomed the
improvements in the Retirees’ Group Medical Insurance Scheme like
flexible slabs of Sum Insured, multiple options to choose, reduced
premium for single insured, facility of Super Top Up, etc. The meeting
expressed the hope that these improvements will enable more number of
retirees, especially family pensioners, part time employees/substaff
retirees, to avail the medical insurance coverage.


Updation of Pension:

While due to the persistent efforts of
UFBU/AIBEA, the IBA has agreed and accordingly recommended
improvement in Family Pension (uniform rate of 30% without ceiling) and
the Government’s approval is awaited, the meeting discussed the issue of
our pending demand of updation of pension.


Since AIBEA has been the pioneer in achieving pension scheme in Banks
in 1993 and in securing further improvements including the major
achievement of one more option for more than 3 lac employees/retirees,
there is widespread expectation that AIBEA should take the initiative to
achieve the demand of pension updation.


The meeting reiterated that the demand for updation of pension is most
genuine, more especially in the case of employees/officers who had
retired under earlier Settlements in 1987, 1992, 1997, etc. and hence it
was decided to pursue the demand earnestly.


The meeting further noted that notwithstanding the fact that the demand
of pension updation is most reasonable, the issue cannot be resolved and
demand achieved without addressing the aspects like additional cost
involved, additional funding requirements, etc.


The meeting took note of the vicious propaganda on the issue and
cautioned that all these would only vitiate and create difficulties in
achieving the demand to the detriment of the retirees.


Centenary of AITUC:

The meeting was happy to note that All India
Trade Union Congress (AITUC) will complete its glorious 100 years on 31st
October, 2020. Looking to the present pandemic situation, AITUC has
decided to hold Centenary Commemorative Webinars on various
important issues and topics of relevance to the working class. AIBEA will
be hosting the Webinar on “Role of Middle class employees in working
class trade union movement”.


75th Anniversary of WFTU:

The meeting noted that World Federation
of Trade Unions (WFTU) has completed its 75th Year on 3-10-2020 and
WFTU has decided to undertake various activities to mark this important
milestone occasion. The meeting appealed to all our unions and members
to make their voluntary contributions to the WFTU Funds Drive by
remitting their donations.


With greetings,
Yours comradely,
C.H. VENKATACHALAM
GENERAL SECRETARY

It is clear from above circular that various comments, observations made by retirees in social media forums regarding Updation and other issues  and how the issues are dealt by Union leaders have reached the top leaders of UFBU. This is the very purpose of social media irrespective of whether leaders take it in good spirit or not.

This campaign in social media forced AIBEA which kept silent  all these days to make its stand clear on Updation.

While pensioners appreciate AIBEA for breaking silence and showing its concern for updation issue we also expect UFBU to be transparent by placing data of cost of updation, additional funding required etc in pensioners domain so that pensioners can make true analysis whether pension funds are sufficient or not.

This will put full stop to debate on availability of Pension funds for Updation.

Pension updation is must. Why they are delaying God knows. Let better sense prevail on these leaders and IBA GOVT

[Prasad C N]

Dear Sir,

I agree with you.  But, it is also reported that :

"The meeting took note of the vicious propaganda on the issue and cautioned that all these would only vitiate and create difficulties in achieving the demand to the detriment of the retirees."

This is what we have been saying and if truth is expressed, many of us are unhappy.  Moreso, we have developed and gone down deeply, our hate towards one organisation and one person.  Most of us and most of the time we blame one organisation and one individual for all our problems.  Thereby, without so many words we feel that all others and all other organisations as sacrosanct and as our saviours. 

Thanks, a Million. 

With regards,

Prasad C N

The agenda of AIBEA for updation of pension is for pre 2002 retirees only.

Good luck pre 20020 pensioners..

Yes Sir, you are correct.  Those  who never took interest to  know the basic concepts  of trade union philosophy while in service or even after retirement  are making immature comments based on the information they got from some unscrupulous corners  and pitiably believe themselves as truth.   There may be wrong people who unfortunately became the office bearers of  respective trade unions. It seems that they are not aware of the  key roleplayed by the Government in this issue and so also other forces which  have a strong say and control over the government.  Anyway, let us hope for the best to come in.  Thanks and regards.
