IBA (Indian Banks Association) which represents Bank Management and the Government tells Bank Unions to Negotiate and not agitate !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Mr. Tanksale said "the ninth bipartite settlement was as exception" wherein settlement was arrived at 17.5%.
This message comes from the IBA after 26 months of negotiation with the unions, If the matter cannot be resolved by IBA even after 26 months of negotiation with the Bank Unions. Then, should the bank employees to wait for another 34 months doing negotiation ??? What was IBA doing in all the rounds of negotiation till date.
Was Mr. Tanksale right in calling 9th Bipartite settlement abberation wherein 17.5% increase (for a total period of 5 years) was given. Earlier wage settlements seen the increase of 13%. Then where is abberation. Does Mr. Tanksale thinks they have given 25% increase in salary ?
He also informed “In the current wage settlement, a hike of 11 per cent on salary and allowances has been offered, based on the paying capacity of all the banks, lower profitability, higher requirements for provisions and further capital requirement under Basel-III, translating into 12.5 per cent on the balance sheet cost. This too is unaffordable to some of the banks.”
IBA said the issues regarding wage negotiation deliberated in the Negotiating Committee of the IBA were further discussed in a larger forum — Managing Committee of IBA — and the Chairmen of all the banks felt the demand for 23 per cent increase made by the Unions/Associations is unaffordable, illogical, exorbitant and irrational.
Its surprising that the IBA-Governemnt is thinking miles ahead to increase salary of profit making PSBs. But when the government itself is loss making (due to fiscal deficit) how its paying salary for its Governement servants and how Pay commissions are formed in advance for them ????
