Kerala :State Bank Of India Staff union threatens stir

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, JANUARY 8:  

State Banks’ Staff Union (SBI Kerala Circle) is planning to step up its agitation against what it describes as the indifferent attitude of the management to its grievances.

It proposes to widen the ongoing protest programmes centred around Thrissur to all administrative and regional offices on January 12 and to the local head office in Thiruvananthapuram on January 21.

The protests will seek to expose the ‘anti-labour’ stance of the management. The union singled out the management of the bank’s Thrissur module for precipitating a needless crisis by its various acts of omission and commission directed at the clerical staff.

The module has allegedly flouted the bank’s conventions and policies by arbitrarily transferring staff to distant centres on oral orders and portrayed them as punishment transfers.

Attempts to convince senior officials at the circle level of the urgency of the matter have not yielded results, the union said.

It has also expressed strong opposition to the career development scheme introduced by the bank which it says would only help topple the service conditions and put staff deployment in jeopardy.
