ROLE OF UFBU LEADERS- NEED OF HOUR Leaders of Unions sitting in big cities and metros to a great extent have become second side of same coin which is represented by Management. There are many leaders who simply speak the language of management. Some leaders exploit their post to torture bank staff and to please some of their flatterers. Culture of flattery has become the way of life not for only bosses but for union leaders too. Some of them are indulged in bribery too. Some are busy in saving some of their colleagues who are accused of committing fraud or doing bad lending. These so called leaders think that their duty is only to make new entrants in banks as their members and hence they do not forget in making member. The problem faced by members is left to whims and fancies of top officials of bank . Top bosses also think it wise to keep a few leaders happy so that they may rule and exploit bank staff as per their choice .This culture has annoyed many bank staff, not only freshers but also old guards who have spent decades in bank. In modern era of trade union activities, bank staff can talk comfortably with his branch head or Regional Head or Zonal Head or even ED or CMD . But is very difficult for a bank staff to talk to any General Secretary or office bearer of any union for redressal of any grievance. I therefore appeal to trade union leaders to try to take their followers into their confidence and do not allow them to be confused with rumours or spread confusion . They should introspect to find out the reason why young bankers are annoyed with leaders of UFBU. They should try to understand why members do not actively participate in demonstration or in N0-cooperation agitation or avoiding late sitting etc. They should try to understand why do they prefer becoming Yesman of their immediate boss of higher authorities instead of depending on trade union leaders. They should find out why common bankers think it wise to bear with all steps of injustice of the management .They should discover why bank staff do not think it safe to share their problems with their leaders. They should try to allay all doubts and confusion of aggrieved bankers by frequent meetings, local debates and discussion, state level meetings and written circular .This can help in regain the image and make it more shining. by Danendra Jain
