The Record Note signed after discussions between the IBA and
the Bank employees’ Associations on 25/5/2015 is nothing but an agreement
between two parties one of which is a collective group of Bank employees who
have a conflict of interest in the subject matter discussed viz DR
neutralisation in Pension and Pension upgradation at least till the dates of
the retirement of their members. No representative body of existing Bank pensioners are signatories to this Note
when the decisions recorded adversely affect them. The Record Note has conspicuously
been agreed to behind the back of the real stakeholders. Cannot such a bipartite
settlement be deemed illegal?
The Record Note is just like a trial and conviction of an
innocent person by a court without the affected person committing any offence and without hearing him ( and not even ex parte after summoning him)!
Greetings.
