Once again the devil is on the shoulders.The small committee meeting with IBA on 16/03/2020,began with the discussion on load factor ended without any fruitful decision.UFBU had decided to meet shortly to crystallize the approach in the light of the talks on 16/03/2020.
UFBU had earlier deferred the 3 day strike slated in March, based on the "positive developments" on February 29th meeting.We don't know what transpired in the negotiations.Nothing has moved forward, other than 15% increase on pay.
We don't know what plan IBA is having in its mind,with respect to bipartite talks.Even after 50 rounds of talks, spanning 28 months,negotiations are dragging on and on, without any rhyme or reason.IBA has so far not rejected any demands outrightly.Right from 5 day banking to pensioners' issues ,IBA simply says that it will consider and the matter will be expedited.IBA is chanting the same slogan again and again.
Somewhere in the bottom line,IBA,has sensed that the constituents of UFBU are very much divided among themselves on many issues.Though they attend the talks together ,they don't have a unified purpose.UFBU lacks the vigour and vitality needed to
achieve the genuine demands of 10 lakhs bankmen. At the same time they have also not fell apart.So far so good.For a normal banker,it appears that both IBA and UFBU are not serious in carrying out their respective tasks entrusted upon them by the bankmen and the government.We don't know how the bipartite talks will move forward.We feel a sense of stagnation in the talks.

Meanwhile,we don't know what will be the fate of AIBEA's 27th March strike against merger of PSBs.It is likely that the strike may be called off due to "coronavirus issue."If the strike is withdrawn ,it is only a good thing .Who wants this strike now.
However ,as decided by UFBU,at least now they will have to sit together and discuss and cobble together ,every pending issue right from 5 day banking,demanding more than 15% increase,spl.allowance merger and last but not the least,the pensioners updation issue .We hope that at least now,UFBU will come out with a definite
set of achievable demands,and exhibit their solidarity at the forthcoming wage talks.Though we are all dejected and in deep agony,we are relying on the supernatural virtue of hope.

Nothing will happen.
The settlement will be deferred to next year due to coronavirus fear.
UFBU is lucky in giving lame excuse.
Bogus people and Bogus meetings,15 percent is max what we will get.
Pl tell about gratuity eligibility rules,if I resign at 9 years 7 months.
Its very important for young people who can try in other government sector.
You can fight with yourself not with government. Banking sector going worse to worse in next future.
Pl change job, young blood!You can.Bank PO can achieve job in another sector also,belive yourself and ready for platform change.
AIBRF TO UFBU

Dear Comrades
We find that negotiations on settlement have entered in the final phase and likely to be concluded shortly. Small Committee to give final touch to the various demands/ issues agreed has been constituted and its first meeting was held on 16.3.2020.
2. These developments have created renewed hopes and enthusiasm among 4.5 lakh retirees along with employees. They are happy to see that long wait of more than 2 years will come to end and they will get some good news on their long pending issues.
3. Retirees have very high hopes and expectations from this settlement. On the basis of information / feedback shared on different platforms on important demands like improvement in family pension, Updation etc. they are pretty confident that this settlement will be composite one giving justice to the retirees.
4. We make humble appeal to the entire leadership of UFBU on behalf of 4.5 lakh bank retires to ensure that all efforts are made uniteadly to raise retiree issues effectively and see that they are achieved before signing the settlement. Retirees are keenly watching the development in the hopes that it will be historical one which will enforce renewed faith in the process of negotiation to achieve their expectations through it.
5. We convey our best wishes for the BEST SETTLEMENT for all stake holders in banking industry and also express our solidarity and unity with UFBU and its leadership.
With Warm Greetings,
Yours Sincerely,
S/D -
(S.C.JAIN)
GENERAL SECRETARY
