Naked Truth! Starting January 2014, a Reservation Clerk in Railway will earn Rs.35,370 after taking into account the recent 10% DA hike announced by the Govt. On an average there will be jump in salary to the extend of 2.6times after every pay commission. So after 7th pay commission, if we consider the worst case scenario and suppose salary will jump by 1.6times, from 2016 a booking clerk will get Rs.57,250 as agaisnt the 18000 drawn by Bank Clerk and 30000 drawn by Bank Officers. The entire thing has to be read against the backdrop that during the year 2012-13, Railways made a loss of Rs.24,600 and the minister was quick in attributing the loss to the gloomy Economic Scenario prevailing in the country. It is worth to mention here that IBA restricted the wage revision to 5% citing poor profitability of Banks, whereas data reveals that during the last 5 years, Gross Profit of PSBs jumped by 141% to Rs.1,07,731Cr. Can anyone explain the rational prevailing in this GREAT country in giving Rs.57000 salary to a booking clerk who key- in nothing but passenger detail and a bank officer who appraise and sanctions credit worth crores of ruppes. This is INDIYAH! Ruled and Ruined by GREAT politicains who play nothing but VOTE BANK POLITICS! Unless Union People open their mouth and express these facts to the media/public/ Government, even an indfenite strike will not find favour with any stake holders. Tell your union leaders to project as an example the salary received by a Booking Clerk in Railway and the working-conditions compared to a Bankers. Give maximum publicity to these irritating facts in all the forums. TELL THE TRUTH AND WIN HEARTS, else be ready to do some menial jobs after banking hours to meet the ends!
