Priya Brata Chakrabarti ( SBI Pensioners Group ). 13 hrs QUOTE:- PL. READ PENSIONERS ISSUES WERE RAISED ON 07.01.2015 BIPARTITE DISCUSSION We reproduce hereunder the text of AIBOC Circular No.2015/02 dated 8th January, 2015 contents of which are self-explicit. Bipartite Meeting with IBA on 7th January 2015: In the bipartite discussions continued with the IBA on 7th January 2015, we insisted that IBA should further enhance their offer from 12.5% and also reach conclusion of reasonable settlement within short time-frame. IBA informed us that they would also like to continue the discussions at regular and frequent intervals to ensure completion of the entire process by middle of February, 2015. IBA, however, informed that they need some time for discussion amongst themselves on the revised offer of increase and wanted UFBU also to revise its demand to reach a mutually acceptable position. Regarding other important issues raised by UFBU, it was decided that Sub-Committees would be formed to discuss the following issues: Revised scheme on 100% hospitalisation expenses reimbursement scheme to employees/family members without any ceiling; Modifications in Officers Disciplinary and Conduct Regulations suggested by the unions, regulated working hours for officers, 5 Day banking, etc, Demands raised by the Workman Unions /Officers’ Organisations in the Charter. Pension related demands: We also raised the issues relating to improvements in Pension related demands like 100% DA for pre-Nov. 2002 pensioners, family pension formula, periodical updation of pension, etc. We also suggested that DA upto 4440 points for all pensioners should be merged with Basic pension and a uniform DA formula to be applicable to all pensioners. We also demanded extension of DA linked pension scheme for employees recruited after April 2010. It was agreed to discuss all these issues further. Bipartite discussions to continue: To our suggestion that the meetings of the Sub-Committees should be held immediately without loss of time, IBA agreed to the same. To our demand for holding next round of negotiations at the earliest to carry forward the negotiations, IBA agreed and it was decided to fix up the dates looking at mutual convenience. Comrades, while the negotiations have been brought back on the track due to our sustained and persistent struggles, no complacency should be entertained as further rounds of discussions would be extremely crucial to clinch the best deal possible and achieve a fair and reasonable wage revision for employees and officers. Given our past experience, we must also be guarded against any possible efforts by IBA that would delay the Settlement. While UFBU would do its best to conclude a reasonable settlement as early as possible, we appeal to the membership to be in readiness to plunge into actions even at short notice, if the situation so warrants. Nothing should be taken for granted at this stage.” “As we stand together, we can amplify each other’s strength and can nullify each other’s weakness !!” With revolutionary greetings, Comradely yours, Sd/- (HARVINDER SINGH) GENERAL SECRETARY
