For the past few months UFBU has had no convenor and IBA itself is inviting constituents of UFBU separately for BPS meetings. So it is not clear which union invited AIBRF for discussions.
AIBRF has not uploaded a letter from UFBU inviting it for discussions.
Now UFBU is confined to a letter head only. Only AIBOC and AIBEA control proceedings.
Others are just tagging along as yes masters, otherwise they would be thrown out of BPS. BEFI and AIBOA were kept out of BPS. once. AIBOA has to get back its right to participate in BPS by approaching courts.
UFBU has not taken up Updation, merger of DA, revision of Ex gratia issues with IBA and meekly accepting false claims of Sub judice. Recently the CJI of SC has issued directives to all lower courts to settle disputes through mediation. If the mediation fails, concerned parties have the right to continue their fight in courts.
While it is claiming Sub Judice is false and absurd.
For the past many years no union consulted Retirees associations and maintained that retirees should accept agreements signed by them, irrespective of whether it is beneficial to retirees or not and should not approach courts.
While it is so which union is taking extra interest to discuss issues that too only with AIBRF only.
AIBRF claim may be false or some union is manipulating things to disrupt unity among retiree associations.
