Text of the above said UFBU Circular –


“We had informed our Units; vide our Circular dated 26-09-2014 about the negative approach of the IBA in the negotiations for wage revision. Having regard to the need to express our strong resentment and protest, UFBU has already given the call for observing certain agitational programmes including demonstrations on 17th October, 2014 and for holding Dharnas in various States between 18th and 31st October, 2014. In view of the intermittent festival holidays in various parts of the country, the dates for the strike actions were decided to be finalized later.

In this background, UFBU meeting was held today in Bengaluru to chalk out the programmes and after due deliberations, the following further Programmes have been decided upon:

29th October, 2014Press Meet at all State Capitals and major centers

(Press Note of UFBU, to be released by all the
constituent unions, will be sent in due course)30th October, 2014All India Protest Day

It was also decided unanimously by the UFBU to withdraw all types of extra co-operation by workmen/officers with immediate effect and to boycott all meetings called for by the bank managements after normal office hours. The meeting also decided against work.

The schedule of Relay Zonal Strikes is as under:

02.12.2014Southern Zone consisting States of Andhra Pradesh,
Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Telengana and Union
Territories of Lakshadweep and Puducherry.03.12.2014Northern Zone consisting States of Chattisgarh,
Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Madhya
Pradesh, New Delhi, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Uttaranchal,
Rajasthan and Union Territory of Chandigarh04.12.2014Eastern Zone consisting States of Bihar, Jharkhand,
Odisha, Sikkim, West Bengal, North Eastern States and
Union Territory of Andaman & Nicobar Islands05.12.2014Western Zone consisting States of Goa, Gujarat,
Maharashtra and Union Territories of Daman & Diu
It is two years since we submitted our charter of demands. While 13 rounds of negotiations have taken place, there is no satisfactory progress in the talks because of the negative attitude of the IBA/Government. Everyone is aware that employees and officers in the banking sector are doing their best to serve the customers and implement various schemes of the Government despite innumerable hardships and difficulties. Yet, the genuine demand for adequate wage revision is being delayed and denied.

Even though we have shown our willingness to adopt a flexible approach in order to finalize the settlement expeditiously, the same is not being reciprocated by the IBA. Thus, once again, we have been pushed to the path of agitation and struggle. We call upon all our unions and members to manifest their resentment and protest through effective implementation of the programmes.

Better and early wage revision – We demand - We deserve.”
With greetings,
