The All India Punjab and National Bank Officers Federation (AIPNBOF) has demanded that local staff should be recruited in the P&NB branches of the state as absence of local staff is seriously hampering the growth of bank in Jammu and Kashmir.
Addressing a press conference after the office bearers meeting here today, T. R Verma, general secretary, AIPNBOF said that manpower planning has taken a severe beating since the locals are not staffed in the PNB branches in the State. He said that retention policy of PNB employees of outside states in Jammu and Kashmir should be banished at the earliest.
"There is acute shortage of staff in the branches and special recruitment of officers and workmen staff in Jammu and Kashmir needs to be carried out. The drive should be initiated at the earliest so that like other parts of country PNB achieves progress and growth in this state," said Verma.
Verma said that special drive can help in tiding over the crisis on account of unemployment of educated youth. He said the Association would leave no stone unturned in approaching the higher ups of the bank so that direct recruitment is carried out in the state. He said there should be regulated banking hours for all the employees of public sector banks irrespective of their cadre and designation. He said that public sector banks should be allowed to observe five day week, adding that pay disparity between PNB and State Bank of India (SBI) employees should be removed.
Dr. Kumar Arbind, President AIPNBOF said that Khandelwal Committee recommendations are anti-employee and demanded that the recommendations should be out-rightly rejected by the Central Government.
"The Khandelwal Committee recommendations are anti-employee, anti-officer and anti-trade unions. It is an attempt to scuttle collective bargaining and in one voice we reject it. We would hold a dharna before Parliament on December 14 and will project our demands" said Dr. Arbind.
