Strike the Strike


Our forum salutes to the officers who have come to the branches today. It is told that when mind is not able to ponder, we should listen to our heart. Fear is erasable. Coercion is an external phenomenon lasting for few seconds. Courage is innate and permanent in nature. The changed phenomenon is remarkable. Officers have to take many crucial decisions for the organisation and attending office today was a significant decision, which is beneficial not only for the organisation but also for the individual’s values.

Bravo friends! A new journey was flagged off in Mumbai and it has changed the mindset of ABOA (Mysore Unit) and ultimately a resolution was passed unanimously by our office bearers. Congratulations to the entire officer fraternity and thanks to the office bearers for listening to their members and truly represent their views.

Are you aware? More than 600 branches have reported to be opened in SBI, SBH, SBBJ and SBM today. In SBT and SB Indore also movement against strike is seen. More than 1000 officers across the State bank Group have listened to their heart and reported for duty. All the branches (including Regional Office) of SBM in Delhi were opened today. CDC,Treasury and many branches in Mumbai have also functioned today.Who wants to axe one’s own leg? Strike will thwart the consolidation process. Strike will kill exuberance of the top management and their empathy towards ABs officials will also be smothered. Political parties with vested interest may hijack the movement to fulfill their own wishes.

In such circumstances, let us propagate the message across the country that officers from ABs want merger. Let the SBI top management understand the views of ABs officers. Let them know that officers do not want strike; they want sustainability, they want better package, better avenues and better elevations. As a tiny organisation, we may get bread but not butter.

Friends, the forum once again pays great regard to the officers who have opened the branches or attended offices today and appeals all the officers to spread the message so that other colleagues could also overcome the fear-factor. Fear is really erasable. Let us erase it before it erases us.

We wish that more officers should join for duty on 25.09.2008!
We wish let all officers come out of clutches of fear-factor!!
We wish that let merger dream be a reality!!!
