After passing of pro-merger resolution in the ABOA – Mysore Unit, it is expected that action will follow the resolution to meet the desired goal .The decision of majority of officers to attend offices on 24th/25th of September is an outcome of their belief in democratic system and their awareness of constitutional right, which grants “Freedom of Expression “ to every citizen.
It is noted that the office bearers of ABOA- Mysore Unit called for a meeting in the Head Office to persuade officers to go on strike called by the UFBU in the name of wage revision, for which no clarity is available to members. The office bearers downplayed the “ anti- merger agenda “ of the strike, but this agenda has been prominently reported in today’s Newspapers across the country.
Our Forum is of the view that the Mysore Unit of ABOA should not follow the SBT model, where the association has taken a pro-merger stand almost an year back, but have kept on participating in every strike opposing merger. And the result is evident to everybody. On the other hand the union of SBS got the resolution passed both in the SBS and in the SBI and are part of the larger SBI as on date. Hence by persuading officers to go on strike in the name of unity of trade unions, the officers are forced to delay the achievement of desired goals.
The Forum has got reports that the GS of SBP-unit of ABOA has castigated aspersions on the GS of ABOA- Mysore Unit for yielding to members’ demand and for passing pro-merger resolution on 21st’september. The forum condemns the un-parliamentary behavior of the GS of the SBP- unit of the ABOA and challenges him to seek mandate of the officers of SBP on the merger issue, otherwise quit his office.
No dictatorial threat should be given to stop the democratic process initiated in ABOA – Mysore unit. It is also noted with concern that some senior officers at the behest of certain disgruntled office-bearers of Mysore unit have tried to force some junior officers to go on strike. The Forum appeals to such senior officers to desist from such activities, which may be considered as attack on fundamental right of the junior officers and also an act of preventing them to carry out their duty under a public sector under Government control.

Let Democracy and democratic behavior prevail among the officers and employees of the Banking Industry, otherwise the trade unions will wipe out the very reason of their existence as they are meant for protection of their members from tyranny of others and not for becoming tyrants themselves.

Shame Shame ...........on the part of GS SBP unit of ABOA for his action. it is a surprise that northern Indians, well known for their agitational movements are yet to unite for opposing the autocratic working style of the leaders. Friends wake up and fight these selfish leaders sitting on the heaps of crores of our hard earned subscription amount like Tiger Tipu Sultan. Don't keep your eyes and ears closed and ACT NOW........ This is the time to fight against their moves for NON MERGER like Maharaja Ranjit Singh fought against Britishers than the oppurtunist kings of our country who shook hands with whites for their ashamed survival and to receive faked honours from them.
WAKE WAKE WAKE and follow the SBM officers.
