AIBEA exposed itself in Madras High Court

This refers to 9th bipartite settlement signed by Banks and Trade union leaders of bank employees on 27th April 2010 which contains a lot of divisive and discriminatory clauses. Writs have been filed in various high courts against the said settlement and Madras High Court has even granted interim stay on illegal and unjustified recovery from PF opteees who have been given a second chance to switch over to pension optees segment of employees in the said agreement. Contesting defendants in the court called as AIBEA or AIBOC have filed an affidavit that they represent majority of employees and tried to justify the disputed clause on this plea.

Are AIBEA or AIBOC representing 90% of employees entitled to introduce any whimsical clause in Bipartite Settlement, frame any whimsical policy or sign any illegal agreement even if it violates the existing book of laws, spirit of the Constitution, fundamental right of equality before law?

It appears to me as if majority of employees have empowered union leaders to do whatever suits to them. This is why they are negotiating with the management on posting, transfer of their friends, relatives, and flatterers, reducing punishment of their corrupt colleagues and similarly recommending promotion of officers through members of Interview panel. Union leaders are godfather of 90% of employees and hence they are blackmailing with the management on waiver of big loans and taking their share in the cake. They are all in all for majority of employees and hence they have shut their eyes on manipulation carried out by the management in balance sheets, turned their blind eyes on shortage of manpower in branches, whimsical transfers of a good number of good officers to remote places , prevailing corrupt practices in loans and advances, rampant corruption in contractual works undertaken by banks to open branches, ATMs or in renovation work, transfer of employees, promotion of employees and so on..........................

But court do not consider this fact whether a union represents 90 % of employee or 9% of employees. Even if one person is cheated by bank management, court is not supposed to accept the logic of Trade Union leaders only because they represent majority of employees. Indian courts are not guided by heard of sheep. Courts decide the matter on the merit of the issue and not on the number of persons supporting the issue. Court test the issue from the angle of existing laws and not on he basis of momentum of crown backing the issue.

Late Indira Gandhi changed the basic structure of Indian Constitution in perhaps 1976 when her own vested interest was defeated by her opponent Raj Narayan and when she thought that her post of Prime Minister was at risk. She imposed emergency and promoted all types of excesses through her flatterers. Even bachelors were forced to pass through family planning operation. No doubt Indira Gandhi perpetuated her reign of injustice for a year or two because she was in power and a team of flatterers was backing her.
But the anger of victim people aggravated and turned into a movement against her. With the support of leadership of Jai Prakash Narayan she was removed, she was defeated in the election, she had to face huge humiliation and at a later date even the Apex court set aside the 42nd amendment.

Similarly reign of injustice will prevail in banking industry as long as our protectors are corrupt and the so called trade union leaders in disguise of saviors are working in nexus with top officials of management for their self interest. Reign of injustice is continuing uninterrupted only because it takes two or three decades in getting judgment from Indian courts. Whimsical transfers and arbitrary promotions are taking place year after year only because top officials know that the victim cannot go to court for justice in fear of high cost and repercussion from the bank management.

But they should keep in mind that days are not far when three lac employees called as PF optees who are the greatest sufferer of the said Bipartite Settlement will turn the tide against the management and the so called leaders of Tread unions too.

Rules are made for justice and they cannot be violated by a crowd of miscreants only because they represent majority of residents in the locality. A group of flatterers cannot be allowed to hijack the laws of land only because they are in power or they represent majority of employees.

Last but not the least, It will not be exaggeration to say that this team of flatterers will not only break the heart of true workers in the banking industry but will also badly affect the health of bank, intrinsic value of the bank, demotivate the work force and what not.......

Team of flatterers has committed a historic blunder in the said Bipartite Settlement and they will never be excused by any law abiding person. Divisive and discriminatory approach of such flatterers will be exposed sooner or later.

………………..Keep patience. I am very much confident that voice of inner conscience will prevail upon the madness and devilous egoism currently in the minds of union leaders and top CEOs of top banks.
