RELAY ZONAL STRIKES A GRAND SUCCESS
Text of UFBU Circular
All India Bank Strike on 12th
November 2014, as per the call given by UFBU, was a grand success. The participation in the Strike and other
agitational programmes was unprecedented.
All the workmen and officers, with lot of zeal and enthusiasm,
participated in all the action programmes. Particularly on the day of strike
i.e., on 12th November 2014, wherever Rallies / Centralised Demonstrations were
held the presence of the employees, irrespective of the cadre, was huge and
unprecedented.
The Constituents and their Affiliates were
successful to a greater extent in explaining the justification of our issues
and the circumstances that forced the Bank employees to resort to strike action
which received wide publicity throughout the country. More particularly the customers understood
the agony and anguish of the Bank employees and are sympathetic to the cause.
The call for One Day token Strike was to
invite the attention of the IBA and Government combine and bring to their
notice the anguish of the Bank employees without causing much inconvenience to
the customers and public.
At times it may become inevitable to cause
inconvenience, however best one may try to avoid. But we are sure that our esteemed customers
would understand the situation and be sympathetic to our cause.
We are moving closure to our next strike
action i.e., Relay Zonal Strikes scheduled from 2nd to 5th
