3. As on date,
there are 44 Labour Laws. Massive exercises are already afoot to bunch
the same into 5 distinct ones encompassing, wages, Industrial Relations, Social
Security, Safety and Employment. At present, there is no need to have the
official sanction where the establishment is engaging 100members to close down now it
is proposed to enhance the number of workers to 300. Where an
establishment is employing less than 40, they are not to comply with the
existing labour laws. The cabinet has approved to employ children below
14 years of age to work after school hours in family enterprises or the
entertainment Industry
4.As far as our
Industry is concerned “Gyan Sangam” meet at Pune in the first week of January 2015, clearly signalled
the desire and decision of the Government to bulldoze the plan of consolidation
and various working groups have been appointed to role out the blueprints to
achieve their targets. The then IBA Chairman prior to his appointment as
one of commissioner in CVC, present the blue print on “Bank consolidation”
too. The working groups are already on the job to take our Industry to
the path of partial/full privatisation mode.
5.AIBOA, the second largest organisation of
Bank Officers , also decided to present the issue of non implementation of
understandings in the matter 2nd / 4th Saturdays
and also the right of representation of AIBOA affiliate Units in the individual
Banks level, as our issues.
OUR PAST SPEAKS FOR OUR COMMITMENT:
6. Our organisation
known for its steadfast approach in identifying with the struggling masses did
participate in the two days strike on 20-21 February 2013, along with other
constituents of UFBU.
Having sensed the moves of the Government, as anti labour and
anti peoples and Bank officers can not remain aloof, apart and away from the
common struggles of the workers decided in the CC held at Mumbai to observe the
“2nd September 2015 Strike”, along with other organisations.
Jobs and Job Security are at Stake
vHence move collectively to observe the
strike on 2nd September 2015 without any deviation.
Yours comradely,
/S.NAGARAJAN/
GENERAL SECRETARY
