TEXT OF AIBEA CIRCULAR LETTER NO. 26/146/2011/140 DT.30.08.2011
Dear Comrades,
Reg.: Instant Strike
We have already conveyed to you the need for getting ready for an INSTANT STRIKE at short notice since the Government appears to be taking steps to get the Banking Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2011 passed in the current session of the Parliament which is ending on 8th September, 2011.
The gravity of the situation need not be inflated, exaggerated or overstated because the attempts are visible. On the one hand, the Government is moving to get the Bill passed. On the other hand RBI has announced its Draft Policy on giving licence to corporates to start more Private Banks. Further, the Planning Commission is suggesting reduction of Government Capital in PSBs to less than 51%. There are multiple attacks to liberalise our Banks and push their reforms agenda. That is why the situation is serious.
That is why UFBU has given the call for INSTANT STRIKE if Government will take up the Bill in the Parliament for approval.
Instructions :-
1. Each and every Branch unit should be immediately kept informed to be ready to observe the instant strike.
2. Facilities like mobile phone / SMS / e Mail, etc. should be pressed intoaction to reach our units / members immediately on receipt of the call from UFBU.
3. Mobile phone numbers / Residential phone numbers, etc. should be kept ready by our units to contact our Branch units if the call is given after Branches are closed for the day.
4. Co-operatives / RRBs are exempted in this strike action.
5. For Watch & Ward Staff, only in those Offices / Branches / Currency chest, etc. which will remain open on the Strike day, the Watch & Ward / Security Staff are to be exempted. If entire employees / Officers / Branch Manager will be on strike and the premises is not to be opened, then watch & ward of such Branches are not to be exempted from strike.
Keep the members ready. Get the Units prepared.
With greetings,
Yours Comradely,
C.H.VENKATACHALAM
