WE DEMAND

UFBU Circular Dt. 31-8-2023: Unions are aware that a round of discussion was held with the main Negotiating Committee on 28-7-2023, when two Sub-Committees were formed to discuss the respective issues of Workman Unions and Officers Unions. On 7-8-20023 the 1stround of meeting with the Sub-Committee was held. We had requested the IBA to hold the next round of meeting with the Main Committee so that the discussions can be carried forward.

We are extremely disappointed to observe that the management has not taken any steps whatsoever towards mitigating the issues that have come up due to acute shortage of clerical and sub staff at several branches.
You may be aware by now that many of our branches are running with a huge deficit of subordinate staff to an extent that nearly half of Our branches are running without a single permanent subordinate staff - House keeper cum peon. 

1st country to reach the South Pole of the moon
Congratulations to our scientists Salutations to our engineers
Today is a great day for every Indian to feel proud. Our scientists and engineers have done the marvel to take India on the top of the world.
Chandrayan-3 landed on the moon and India has become the first country to reach the south polar region of the moon.
India has become the fourth country to successfully land on the Moon as the Chandrayaan-3’s lander module with the Rover in its belly successfully made a soft landing on the lunar surface this evening. Thus, India joined countries like the USA, Russia and China to achieve this feat.
Precisely at 6.03 p.m. the lander touched the lunar surface. When Chandrayan-3 landed on the moon, India climbed to the peak of the world for this great scientific achievement.
We greet, congratulate and salute our scientists and engineers who worked hard with extra-ordinary precision to make this possible. We join every Indian to rejoice and celebrate this remarkable scientific advancement.
With greetings
Yours Comradely,
C.H. VENKATACHALAM
GENERAL SECRETARY

 Dear Comrade,
Re : AGITATIONAL PROGRAMME IN REGARD TO OUR PROTESTS ON
1.NON RECRIUTMENT OF CLERKS
2. ENGAGEMENT OF APPRENTICES IN BANK
You are aware that from our Federation we had lodged our emphatic protest vide letter no. GM/AIUCBEF/09/23-26 dated 04-07-2023 to management against non-indenting of clerical staff from IBPS for 2024-25 in the bank at a time when branches throughout the country are acutely suffering from dearth of clerical staff in branches.

Respected Madam,
Provision of adequate manpower in Branches of Banks and necessity for needful recruitment of clerical and subordinate staff/part-time housekeepers/safaikarmacharis in Banks – withdrawal of instructions on ban on recruitment of subordinate staff and part-time house-keepers in Banks.

With deep anguish and anxiety we have come to notice that our bank has not yet placed indent for recruitment of Clerks from IBPS for 2024 - 25.
You may recollect our earlier communications on the difficulties faced by branches and the staff at most of the branches due to short supply of clerical staff in the last five years.You will also recall discussions we had on number of occasions on this very vital issue of acute shortage of clerical staff in the branches.

RECRUITMENT FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR 2024–25
ONLY 4 BANKS HAVE PLACED THEIR INDENT - TOTAL 4045 ONLY
In our Mumbai Conference we have highlighted the issue of acute shortage of staff in the Banks and the urgent need for adequate recruitments in the Banks. The Conference has also resolved to launch a sustained agitation on this issue.
