To
All Units of All Constituents,
Joint Forum of Gramin Bank Unions.

Dear Comrade,

The Joint Forum of Gramin Bank Unions held meeting in New Delhi on 11th March 2008. After day long deliberation it was observed that instead of resolving the four point Charter of demands topped with the issue of parity in PF/Pension. The Finance Minister is out to destabilize the existing banking facility in rural area by allowing 100% Foreign Direct Investment setting up Greenfield Rural Bank. On the face of such fierce attack on the work force of RRB, Joint Forum observed that one day strike on 31st March 2008 is not sufficient to protest the onslaught stronger programmes are to be taken for resolution of the issues with prime focus in parity of PF and Pension.

Joint Forum also condemned the move of the Chairman, Bihar Khetriya Gramin Bank, Monghyr to dismiss principal office bearers of the constituent units of Joint Forum in this bank on trade union issues. It was also resolved to fight the attack by Joint Forum at all levels.

It was unanimously resolved that we must heighten our campaign and mobilization programmes and observe strike for 3(three) days continuously.

It was therefore resolved that:-
i) One day strike on 31st March 2008 stands modified.
ii) The letter to Prime Minister as per format already circulated should be sent by 15th April 2008 by the members of all the units of the constituents of Joint Forum of Gramin Bank Units.
iii) Three day strike shall be observed on 16th , 17th and 18th June 2008 in all RRBs of the country.

Leaders of the Joint Forum shall meet on 28th, 29th and 30th April 2008 in New Delhi and do prepatory works including political mobilization.

All constituent Units must ensure that all the members send the letters to Prime Minister, make all preparations including postering and campaign for historic 3 days strike and to make the joint programmes a total success. Bank level and State level Joint Forum should be formed.

Yours comradely
