AGARTALA, October 29 (TIWN): Pressing various demands, the United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU), State Unit, representing employees of public and private sector banks, has decided to observe a strike on 4th December in Tripura.
Speaking to the reporters at SBI in Melarmath UFBU, State Unit leaders said that it is two years since we submitted our charter of demands. While 13 rounds of negotiations have taken place, there is no satisfactory process in the talks because of the negative attitude of the IBA/Government.
Everyone is aware that employees and officers in the banking sector are doing their best to serve the customers and implement various schemes of the government despite innumerable hardships and difficulties. Yet, the genuine demand for adequate wage revision is being delayed and denied, they mentioned.
They further said that it was decided by the UFBU to withdraw all types of extra co-operation by workmen/officers with immediate effect and to boycott all meetings called for by the bank managements after normal office hours.
Even though we have shown our willingness to adopt a flexible approach in order to finalize the settlement expeditiously, the same is not being reciprocated by the IBA. Thus, once again, we have been pushed to the path of agitation and struggle, they added.
