Those were the days when bank employees were virtual slaves of the management and suffered with
very poor wages and lack of proper service conditions, what to talk of job security. Recruitments
were based on nepotism and favouritism and hire and fire was the order of the day. There was
neither guarantee for a peaceful retirement nor there was any retirement benefits. It was sheer
anarchy and exploitation.
To end this atrocity and anachronism, AIBEA was born on 20.4.1946. The rebellion that was raised
and the journey that began continue till day. It is a matter of pride that in the last 75 years, with
unity of bank employees and through sustained struggles, AIBEA has transformed the lives and living
conditions of bank employees.
A successive collectively bargained and industry-wise Bipartite Settlements have resulted in
substantial improvements in our wages and service conditions.
