My facebook post on 8/3/24
Today is the day of historic surrender by associations before DFS / IBA In a Five star hotel in Mumbai .And a day they have accepted to surrender .Today is international women's day and in our culture women are a form of Shakti .
Today 9 th joint note is being signed one year earlier than the previous joint notes and without even notice of strike and this is being touted as a major achievement but at what cost . not a single major demand of charter of demand has been accepted by team DFS / IBA .
1
Total increase of 17 pc over march 22 pay slip is reasonable but much below our expectations in view of current record profitability of PSB .
2 in COD we demanded basic salary at par with RBI / LiC and central government.reality our new basic will be 40 pc less than RBI / LIC / central government .with pathetic 3 pc loading in existing basic .
DFS / IBA won
3 COD demanded merger of special allowance with basic reality around 1100 basis point increase in special allowance.
IBA / DFS won
4 COD demanded OPS for all reality no serious discussion on this issue .
DFS / IBA won .
5
5 days of work banking
MOU signed on 7/12/23 said union / association demanded implementation of 5 days work banking before signing of BPS / Joint note .
Reality they are signing it day without implementing 5 days of work banking.
And now we are on mercy of government of India regarding date when 5 days of work banking will be implemented .
6 defined working hours
Do discussion/ progress at all .
7 pension updation
COD demanded pension updation.
In reality we are getting ex gratia of paltry few thousands to 7.5 lakh pensioners around 20 pc of them retired prior to nov 2007 getting crums as pensions.
In my 39 years of my banking life this is the first time apex level associations have surrendered before DFS / IBA without even putting a semblance of fight .total surrender.
These spineless apex level association representatives have made bankers Life miserable with no relief in sight .
History will remember them as surrender shree
On my way to Aurangabad Bihar for association works.

Stop blaming @ChVenkatachalam for the failures of bank officers' leadership.
The real accountability lies at the door of @rupamsmail@aiboc_in is currently suffering under its weakest leadership to date.
The blunt truth:
• Officers and clerical staff have entirely distinct service conditions, responsibilities, and legal realities.
• A leader chosen to represent the officers' community who dances to the clerical tune does not deserve to sit in that chair.
• Mixing the mandates of workmen and supervisory cadre inside UFBU has systematically diluted officer interests.
If an officers' union cannot assert its own identity independently, it isn’t negotiation - it’s surrender.
Time for officers to wake up and demand independent leadership, or accept being sidelined permanently.
Do you agree that UFBU’s joint framework is harming officers, or is internal AIBOC reform the only way forward ?

UCO Bank officers (AOUCB-WB) demand AIBOC GS Rupam Roy’s resignation and immediate exit from AIBOC.
They call the last-minute strike deferment a betrayal of the 5-day banking struggle.
@UCOBankOfficial@aiboc_in
Bankers keep India connected 24×7.
But behind every transaction, target and deadline is a human being, with a family, responsibilities and a life beyond the branch.
A 5-day week was agreed in March 2024, with bankers accepting longer working hours from Monday to Friday.
The demand is reasonable. The commitment is proven. The delay is difficult to justify.
Implement 5-Day Banking now.

#5DayBankingNow
India’s Bank employees seek two things rooted in fairness and dignity at work.
#5DayWeekandFairPLI
The demand for a 5 Day Work Week in banks is not new. It already stands agreed upon in the Bipartite Settlement of March 2024. What remains is its long-pending implementation.
At the same time, the unilateral and discriminatory PLI system must be abolished and replaced with a fair, transparent and inclusive framework for all employees, recognising the collective effort behind every institution’s performance.
Hardworking bank employees are not asking for privilege. They are asking for implementation of an agreement and equality in reward.
A motivated banking workforce strengthens Indian banking and the nation.
