Indefinite strike call deferred
The BOPF compliments the officers of State Bank Group to exert sufficient pressures on their respective associations / federation for deferring the strike. The realization about the difficult economic times, by the leadership of unions, is not out of their own wisdom, but because of waning support for strikes among members. Bank officers have become tired of strikes called by the leadership of trade unions without seeking opinions of the members.
The forum is of the view that all trade unions across the industry must follow the directive principle: Trade unions must not act against the benefits of its members, trade union must not act against the benefits of larger national interests.
The adherence of directive principle is needed due to various reasons:

The adherence of directive principle is needed due to various reasons:
1. Members are not ready to support strikes as it is hurting their image, self-respect and pockets.
2.It hurts the larger economy by crippling work in the lifeline of economic activities.
3.The cause taken up by the leaderships of trade union do not reflect the desires of the membership.
As far as merger process is concerned, it is claimed to be deferred temporarily. Consolidation exercise will hurt the self-seeking leaders of trade unions, as it would reduce their numbers. But if the opposition to consolidation by trade unions hurts the benefits of officers and the economy, then it would be better to do away with such trade unions.
The Forum appeals to all the officers in the Indian Banking Space to come out with their opinions, suggestions and initiatives to enrich the Indian Banking.

strike withdrawned but SBI staff only gets benefit [as per news]50% pension. But what about us petrol, interest concession etc.. about merger also delayed. Hence we may have to go for strike for immediate merger
Association is playing double game. It has passed a resolution supporting the merger but Conveniently delayed the circular. A circular to participate in the strike wholeheartedly is widely ciruclated.
If we take one stance, we should abide by it. But the anti merger lobby has tried its level best to make the strike a grand success. Fortunately, for them, the call off from remote holders has become blessing in disguise. Otherwise, these so called leaders would have faced the ire of officers' fraternity on every passing day of strike.
Wish them all the success in their endeavours to deny as many benefits to the officers' fraternity as they can. Let us elect, sorry....,get these leaders nominated once again to safeguard the cause of, officers; sorry again ....., their near, dear and...
