ALL INDIA BANK OFFICERS' ASSOCIATION (Central office: Chennai) Circular No.3:VI:2013 February 5, 2013 To: ALL UNITS / STATE COMMITTEES Dear Comrades A I B O A CALLS FOR NATION WIDE BANK STRIKE ON 20TH AND 21ST FEBRUARY 2013 In the Workers Parliament held at New Delhi on 04 09 2012 , the Central Trade Unions chalked out "Programmes of actions" culminating  in two days strike action on the 20th & 21st Feb 2013 to realize the ten point demands. 2. The earlier call of agitation for a nationwide strike on 28th Feb 2012 by CTUs was observed by our organization, when the other Officers' organization in the industry AIBOC, failed to identify themselves with the issues and observe the strike. AIBOA, true to its ideology and philosophy consistently observed various agitational programme including strike on 22nd & 23rd August 2012 as well as on the 20th Dec 2012 along with other trade unions of the industry & country. 3. The attack on the industry and its workforce is increasing alarmingly and it is our observation that UFBU failed to live upto the expectation of the rank and file by not observing such agitational programme including strike on 20th Dec 2012, which was the need of the time. 4. AIBOA Office bearers met today at Gurgaon in the office of A I O B O A and deliberated in detail on the emerging situation in the banking industry, the role of UFBU and its functioning in realizing the aspirations of workforce in the industry. With the alternative channel of delivery of services available at the industry, strike loses its sharpness as propagated in the press and media. After threadbare discussions and also taking note of the request made by the leader of working class, the General Secretary of AITUC Com Gurudas Dasgupta, it was decided to observe the strike on 20th & 21st Feb 2013 all over the country in banking industry to realize the following demands: v       OPPOSING:                 FUNCTIONAL GROUPING OF PSU BANKS RESULTING IN MERGERS v      DEMANDING                 REGULATED WORKING HOURS FOR OFFICERS                 PAY PARITY AND PAYMENT OF 6.4% OF BASIC AS ALLOWANCE AT PAR WITH SBI                 RESTORATION OF COMPASSIONATE GROUND APPOINTMENTS                 EXTENSION OF PENSION IDBI BANK WORK FORCE                5 DAYS WORKING IN BANKS v      SUPPORTING               10 POINTS DEMANDS OF CENTRAL TRADE UNIONS. 5. Accordingly we call upon the units, State Committees and members to observe the strike on the 20th & 21st Feb 2013 and make it a grand success. Highlighting the issues raised by AIBOA should be the priority task of our units and state committees.  In all programmes of preparatory in nature  our demands are to be highlighted properly. 6. Units may give  instructions regarding handing over keys/charge . No exemption is given since all officer unions are going on strike and the strike is mainly on our demands. All state committees should keep the Central Office of AIBOA informed of completion of various programmes (to be decided at state level) from time to time. With greetings (S NAGARAJAN) GENERAL SECRETARY
