Xth Bipartite Settlement for Wage Revision of bank Employees is due Since Novermber 2012 and for which Charter of Demand was submitted to IBA in August 2012. Obviously Wage settlement is delayed by almost two years . None is serious on it. Bank staff are looking towards Trade Union Leaders (UFBU), Union leaders are looking towards Indian banks Association (IBA) , IBA is looking at Ministry of Finance and MOF is watching how economy will change taking help of bank staff , how Government will merge banks to change the agenda, how bank staff will be made busy in completion of task of financial inclusion and so on.............................. It is painful, shameful and disheartening for all concerned that a simple settlement could not be arrived at even after lapse of 24 months. How country will move ahead when working class is not happy is a big question which every one should ponder over seriously. Already public sector banks are sick due to mishandling by politicians and any negligence further may add fuel to fire. UFBU is such a trade union which enjoys support of ten lac bank employees of more than thirty banks and Advocates of IBA are product of these banks only. Even than, matter is moving slowly and not moving in right direction. It is crystal clear that none is serious on their part . Strike by bank staff or revolt by bank staff is not far away.
