Circular No: 78
15 May, 2015
All India strike on 29, 30th May 2015
Notice served
The Bank’s management has driven us to the wall once again! The crisis in HR
which the DBOO members were enduring for more than a year has reached a
breaking point. The rampant violation of transfer norms in the General
Transfer process is the last addition to the list of our woes. Though the issues
were snowballing day by day we were hoping against hope that when the new
Managing Director joins there will be a total change. However, in effect the
transformation has not taken place. On the other hand, the fresh assault on
DBOO in the form of vindictive transfers and denial of rightful transfers, have
been effected with ease. Our representation for a talk has been turned down by
the CGM.
Comrades, we are convinced that a cosmetic change is not what the Bank
needs now. Until and unless the root cause for the Bank’s prolonged industrial
crisis is addressed and set right there can be no respite to our problems. The
time has come when we should not succumb to emotional black mails of the
Bank’s changing managements. Our love for the Bank, our restraint in
adopting organizational actions, have all been dubbed by the Bank as our
weakness, and was taken for granted by the Bank’s executives.
Our EC members have decided in unison that our Organisational weapon of a
stay out strike being the only weapon which we have not used since the last
eleven years shall be used now.
Yes comrades, we shall strike work on two consecutive days, 29th and 30th
of May 2015. The strike notice in accordance with the provisions contained in
Sub-section (1) of Section 22 of the Industrial disputes Act, 1947, has been
served on the Management yesterday.
Our demands are:
 Stop victimization of officers who have resorted to whistle blowing
The Dhanlaxmi Bank’s Management has been victimizing Dhanalakshmi
Bank Officers Organisation (DBOO) for resorting to whistle blowing under
the bank’s protected disclosure scheme.
The DBOO leaders have been
harassed under some guise or the other for disclosing willful misuse of
authority by the top management of the bank in a high value fraud that
occurred in Mumbai branches of the Bank in 2013.
Hence we demand the present management of the bank to accord protection
to the whistle blowers and also to conduct a forensic audit into the Mumbai
scam. The real culprits in the process should be booked. The innocent
officers at the junior level who were executing the top management’s orders
should be spared from punishments.
 Stop activities that are in violation of human rights in the Bank,
punish the culprit who perpetrates such crimes
The Bank’s Chief General Manager who is also heading HR function has
been making outrageous statements in official meetings and public
conversations about his intention to manhandle the General Secretary Sri.
Mohanan P V. This has happened in the presence of many top executives
and employees of the Bank as well as in the presence of AIBOC leaders.
Despite bringing this to the notice of top management of the Bank there has
been no respite to such threats. A person who habitually indulges in giving
life threats is unfit to man the HR Head position in the Bank. The same CGM
had also made unsavory remarks on lady officers in an official discussion
with DBOO. Though we recorded our protest and demanded an enquiry into
it, the top management of the Bank has chosen to ignore it totally.
Other demands in a nutshell are
 Respect bilateralism; settle other internal issues without any
further delay
 Withdraw all victimization transfers and stop denial of eligible
transfers of officers
 Implement a comprehensive, well-defined and transparent transfer
policy for officers
 Retain the principal office bearers of DBOO at Corporate office.
 Enhance lease rental ceilings of officers
 Take corrective measures on the wrong business policies of the
Bank
 Stop lateral recruitment/ continuance of retired officers
 Convert
all
CTC
officers
including
Junior
Officers/Senior
Officers/BDEs/SEs to IBA
 Review the cases of accountability fixed on officers disproportionate
to their errors. Cases in which double punishments have been
imposed to be revoked. Strengthen the internal control system to
avoid lapses being committed at the operational level.
 Conduct periodic structured meetings with DBOO
 Stop pampering minority outfits with unjustifiable transfer and
unfair promotions.
 All formalities including investment in annuities for securing the
retirement
benefits/pension
for
superannuated
officers
to
be
ensured.
 Release the superannuation benefits of retired officers withheld by
the Bank for flimsy reasons.
We are planning several organizational actions as a prelude to the coming
strike on 29th and 30th May 2015. Be in touch with your Regional Secretary/EC
members to get further details.
29 and 30th May 2015
ALL INDIA STRIKE
Comrades, please note that there could be retaliatory measures taken by the
Management in the forms of threats, coercion and spreading false messages
about the legality of the strike etc. Kindly ignore here-say, false propaganda
and veiled threats by vested interests. Let us stand together for restoration of
justice in the Bank.
Yours sincerely
P V Mohanan
General Secretary
