"Is there any security for Bankmen's life inside Bank premises?

Pl watch the video attached."

and status dt.July 8

"Indian Bank Employees Association (T.N.) affiliated to BEFI has taken up the issue and decided to fight openly."

Further to the above news Indian Bank Employees Association(T.N.) affiliated to BEFI has conducted evening demonstration in front of all Zonal Offices in Tamilnadu condemning atrocities of certain mischievous customers and inactiveness of bank management.

( on the date of demo. Indian Bank Management instructed all branch managers not to give permission or leave to any of the employees. What an Idea? employees are slapped on both cheeks?))

A press note was also released by its General Secretary K.Krishnan which reads as follows:

PROTEST AGAINST ATTACK ON BANK STAFF

Indian Bank employees are to hold demonstrations on

Thursday the 17^th July 2014 at 5.30pm

in front of the Zonal Offices of the Bank throughout the State of Tamilnadu,

protesting against attacks on staff members while discharging their official duties.

There has been systematic abuse against employees and officers by

certain vested interests as well as unruly people under the guise of customers

who dare to inflict painful attacks.

Such incidents of unprovoked violent behavior of untenable order continue

to happen in various bank branches.

The recent instance of utmost vulgar display of muscle power and

 arrogant authority was witnessed in Tirupachur branch of Indian Bank

 on 23^rd May 2014 where an innocent, hapless and poor officer employee

was slapped, thrashed, beaten and pounded which stood recorded in the CCTV.

The insatiable thirst for sadist maneuver was reflected in the offender exercising

his influence of all kind to showcase his unruly action as a victorious one. 

The victim is yet to get over the shock on this unexpected assault and

the humiliation suffered is beyond any expression.

On the one hand, members of staff are at the receiving end by the refusal of

the management to understand the problems faced by them at the counters

 to serve the customers in the environment of acute shortage of manpower

and lack of basic amenities.

On the other, they are made to face the endless insult, abuse and disrespect

meted out to them by the enraged customers.

The shameful verbal outpouring against the lady employees is disturbingly

on the rise which is not taken cognizance at all by the management.

And, to make matters worse, what has happened at Tirupachur,

for no fault of the staff concerned, deserves strong condemnation and very serious

exemplary action against the wrong doer.

The absence of the remorse required to be reflected has resulted in disturbing

the morale of the staff and the general public are also not properly informed

of what is happening around.

Indian Bank Employees Association-Tamilnadu, 

affiliated to BEFI

being a responsible trade union has therefore called upon its members to protest

against the attack on staff and demand immediate action against the culprits.

It is also to appeal to the banking public to understand this genuine concern

and extend support to isolate and act against unruly persons.

At Chennai, the demonstrations was held at the Indian Bank, Zonal Office at

Wellington Estate, 55, Ethiraj Salai, Chennai 8 and throughout the State of Tamilnadu.
