Bank
employees started talking about 10th Bipartite Settlement.
Dissatisfaction, anguish,
backstabbing, disappointment over IXth Bipartite/Pension settlement
are still remaining fresh in their mind.
Percentage of increase was very low
when compared to LIC/GIC and Central/State Govt. employees.
Penalty was imposed on those who
opted for Pension, thanks to the black-sheep within UFBU and supported
indirectly by Big brothers in UFBU.
Those who are affected are still
knocking the doors of various courts.
O.K. will the unions/associations
learn lessons from what has happened in the past?
Will they achieve higher percentage
this time?
Will they find ways to overcome the
worst working condition prevailing now?
As per settlement charter of demand
may be given by UFBU SIX MONTHS BEFORE 01.11.2012. i.e by 01.05.2012
Let us not start the wage discussion
with pessimistic note.
Hope all will end well.
Working Employees are welcome to
express their expectations on various heads of wage revision. and send your
suggestions to my e-mail.
My suggestions for 10th Bipartite Settlement:
1. STAGNATION INCREMENT:
Now Scale of pay for clerk/sub staff has
only 20 increments.
A graduate clerk (age 23) with CAIIB will
reach the maximum in 15 years.
After that he has 23 years of service, whereas only
7 increments are available.
Therefore I suggest that span of scale of pay should
be increased to 25
and thereafter Stagnation increments to
be given at the interval of 2 years.
1A. F.P.P: D. A. on
F.P.P should be defreezed. ........Continued
