“Till last month, the circulars of
UFBU and the statements of leaders upto end of April 2015, indicated as if they
are hotly pursuing with IBA for settling certain demand of retired
bankers. UFBU have already resisted any
attempt by Retiree Associations get involved in the negotiation talks as they
viewed it as part of the negotiations.
Till 9th BPS also, the pension issue for the retired bankers was part of
the negotiations, and thus everybody was hoping that leaders will be taking up
the issue of retired bankers once they have concluded broadly the negotiations
for the serving bankers.
For last one
week or so, retired bankers started getting feedback as if UFBU has withdrawn
itself for taking up the issues of the retired bankers. It was too late for the retired bankers to
understand and react to this volte face
by UFBU in connivance with IBA.
Along with the Joint Note, they have
released a Record Note of Discussions with IBA on the issues relating to
Retired Bankers. We place below the
copy of the record note for the benefit of all our retired colleagues so that
they know exactly how they have cheated them:-“
