why strike in banks

Government works only when there is mass agitation, large scale inconvenience to general public, demonstration, gherao of Parliament, misbehaviour, violence and unrest throughout the country. Bankers are in agitation mood for last one year and more due to unresponsiveness of the government knowing very well that there is discrimination between SBI (last year government agreed to their demand when they went on indefinite strike) and other PSU banks as also private banks. Why?After all SBI and other banks are performing the same task. Government accounts are in all banks, government sponsored schemes are implemented equally in all banks including SBI, government revenues are collected in all banks and so on ......There should not be therefore any discrimination between employees of SBI and other PSU banks.Govt. perhaps wants to divide the bankers and rule undemocratically . First they divided them in two groups - award staff and officer staff. Then Private and Public sector banks. Now SBI and non-SBI banks. Their divisive policy failed and now all nine unions of banks are united and they call strike from United Forum only and hence divisive policies of the government gets punctured.
Our constitution provides equal pay for equal work without any discrimination for gender, position, posting or any thing whatsoever it may be . Equal opportunity for all. Equal status and respect to all without any bias for caste or any community. Unfortunately ground reality is different.It is sad that government works without opening their eyes and ears. Ministers and administrative officers sitting at the helm of affairs are busy in their own welfare. Their wealth is growing day and night, by leaps and bounds. They least bother for constitution or for that matter any genuine demands of the public. They are awakened from their deep slumber only when there is mass strike, mob indiscipline and mass destruction. In such case they may accede to ingenuine demands too. When the demand made by SBI last year was not ingenuine, how the same demand by other PSU banks are being ignored by the government. The only answer is that they want unrest, public upheaval and discomfort to all.In the recent past week ,West Bengal CM Budhadeo Bhattacharya retreated only when there was mass destruction of public property and killings of innocent agitators.Government knows very well that lacs of crores of banks assets are at risk in the hands of borrowers who have been financed from the banks and whose advances have become NPA.Government also knows that advances categorized are non-recoverable only because of corrupt and ineffective administration and judiciary throughout the country. Still government and party leaders at ground level are recommending financing to ineligible person to add fuel to fire. NPA are growing year after year .Data furnished by banks may be rosy to earn good wishes of the Ministry. But bitter truth is that two out of three borrowers are cheating the banks and it is true that management fails to recover the money from them. Government does not have any will to recover the money from such willful defaulters and help banks to raise their profitability. Rather banks are being compelled to show profit by way of cut in salary of employees and by exploitation of employees.See the extent of exploitation _ It is banks only where 8 to 8 banking and 7 day banking or anywhere banking is in practice. On the contrary for central and state government employees it is mostly 5 day working and 5 hours work practice. Why such discrimination between banking and non banking employees.It is therefore government to blame for strike in banks. Bankers are providing best customer service to its customers. In all other government departments in the country works MOVE more and more slowly and that too only after payment of some bribes to the dealing person. Therefore even from the point of view of corruption too, bankers are more or less honest compared to employees of central and state government. .Why banks demands are then not heard by the government in time. What for there is frequent strike? Why government is silent spectator of malady prevailing in their own offices where salary is of little use for employees because they are more indulged in earning wealth by unfair means.?At least government should learn lesson from the standard of salary offered by other private organisation to their employees and where empolyees are nothing but loyal to their employer.In government departments on the other honest workers are tortured and shunted whereas dishonest but yesmen flourish speedly. What is this culture? Who is to blame for such unhealthy and inethical situation in the country. It is only Netas of the country who are to be blamed squarely for such large scale erosion in values.
