Bank unions defer proposed strike on January 7
PTI | January 06, 2015, 19.01 pm IST

New Delhi: Public sector bank employee unions have defered their one-day strike, proposed for January 7, while negotiations will continue tomorrow with the management representatives on wage hike and other issues. 

Bank unions have deferred the strike as Indian Banks Association (IBA) improved the offer to 12.5 per cent from 11 per cent, said United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) Convener, M V Murali. The UFBU is the umbrella organisation of nine bank employees and officer unions. All India Bank Employees Association General Secretary C H Venkatachalam said negotiations would continue tomorrow as the unions have not agreed to the improved offer. 

"We will continue to negotiate for further improvement in the wage revision with the IBA,"
Venkatachalam said. The wage revision of public sector bank employees has been due since November 2012. "We have scaled down our demand from 25 per cent to 23 per cent (wage hike) and further to 19.5 per cent. We want a respectable hike in line with inflationary pressure," Ashwini Rana, General Secretary of National Organisation of Bank Workers, said.

We want Respectable wage rev not less than 20% with 5 days week. Dont goes down below 20,

Anonymous said...

Ohhh...salary hike has gone down further to 19.5% . Is it true? so tomorrow will go further low too. Now we can easily predict why do we need to believe in bank unions? why dont we think about pay commission since our union wont get any decent salary for bank employees anymore. Really feel pity of being a bank employee after read this . It just failed for us.

Unknown said...

What is respectable hike in line to inflationary pressure. We are following union call blindfoldly and becoming fool again and again. Union demand declined from 35% to 19.5% but our wage revision agreed on only 12.5% and union called of strike. Just by offering 1.5% hike union genuflected before IBA and put our demand on standstill.

Anonymous said...

All bakwaas.....the settlement will be mostly be done at 15%....yes, a very respectable hike in line with inflationary pressure...whom are they trying to fool...what's the point in calling for a strike and calling it off at the 11th hour...just call off or 'defer' the other strikes....union leaders are only 'defer'ential towards IBA and indifferent towards the need of bankers

Unknown said...

In Private people getting 15%hike yearly and look in Bank 15%hike each 5years....

Anonymous said...

25%...23%...20%...and now 19.5%....
Just look at the unions at coal india...employees of apsrtc and state govt employees of telangana ( want 60% settlement in the prc and are sticking to their stand)
A humble request to all our great leaders...stop taking employees for a ride...show some grit... bowing down to iba's whims is a betrayal of each and every employee whom you say you represent.....

This is not good. Feels like slapping my face for having some faith in this union. Yes i am staying 1500kms away from my house working from 10am to 8pm and getting 27k in hand. I believe the career that i chose is a piece of shit now.

Analysis of IBA talks with UFBU-

Starting: UFBU- Respectable Hike equivalent to Central.
IBA- 5%

Strike, then-
IBA- 9%
UFBU- Respectable revision

Strike, then-
IBA- 11%
UFBU-25%

Strike, then-
IBA-11%
UFBU-23%

Strike- Strike, then
UFBU- 19.5%
IBA- 12.5%
Strike deferred...

Going on the trend...Next Meeting-
UFBU- 17.5%
IBA- 12.5%


Why has UFBU done a talk when IBA don't have the mandate to do negotiations?

Why strike be deferred as tomorrow strike wud have also being supported by RBI?

We should do that 6 day long strike too...but it won't happen.

Strike for a Day, then-
IBA- 13.5% to 14%
UFBU- Settlement will get signed.

To save the face atleast UFBU should get 100% DA merger till November 2012 instead of November 2011.
Also, they should get the DA percentage which is 0.15% as of now same instead of reducing it to 0.10%. If not 0.15% atleast 0.12%.

Unknown said...

anything below 20% is just not good enough.

Unknown said...

i think banks should opt for pay commission rather than this pitty iba n unions

we must feel proud to be the members of these unions upon whome we put our whole faith to reach this type of settlement. Thanks leaders once again for making the members to feel as dog who waits for a piece of biscuit.

BEST OF LUCK UFBU LEADS, DO BETTER WAGE REVISION FOR BANKERS, TODAY 12.5% IS VERY LOW BUT WE KNOW TODAY SO Many BANKS ARE UNABLE TO PAY THIS MUCH SALARIES BECAUSE OF THEIR IN LOSE POSITION. I THINK IBA WILL GIVE 13% OF HIKE ON PAY SLIP AND REMAIN ARE 7% TO 8% . THANK YOU UFBU LEADERS DO BETTER SETTLEMENT FOR BANKERS. BELIVE ON UNIONS THEY WILL DO BETTER FOR BANKERS.

It is right to change our union leadership. The young guns should come forward and take leadership. I think union leaders have little concerns for employees. They are getting huge benefits from back channel.

Hey union people are u crazy ? Or fools ? Why have u been playing dramas every time ? Bloody dogs. Dont enjoy in hotel rooms, come out and see the struggles of staff at branches. Stop your bribes from iba and justify yourself in ur minds as a leader.

Anonymous said...

U scaled down to 19.5, shame on you. U deffered the strike just because IBA has revised their offer by just 1℅. U and the IBA are in hands with each other.

Complete dram. UFBU has stooped down from 40 to 19.5 while IBA increased from 5 to 12.5 . There was an opportunity to get 22-25% hike, now it will be settled somewhere between 13-15%. Shame on United Forum and all of us who believed on them.

The united forum leaders were already sold out and are doing dramas. How can central govt is increasing the govt employees salaries by 40/50 % and why not a meager 20% for bankers. In case of coal i.dia strike, govt came down running. Till our corrupted union leaders are there, we have to play to the tunes of IBA. On 4th of jan itself that IBA and labour ministry showed thier confidence that they will try to defer the strike. This it self shows how the script was written and played by our union leaders. That too with out informing the fate of 4day strike. Leaders will soon release the statement on 20th jan, that it was also deferred....for sure it will happen.

Anonymous said...

I think, for running a small family 12.50% increase in salary for banker is enough. Please dont expect more. Don't blame our union leader, if u not believe them come out of union.
