The issue of need for provision of adequate staff in the branches of the Banks was discussed in the recent Conference of All India Bank Employees Association and the Conference resolved to take up this demand with the Bank Managements and Government. The issue was further discussed in the recently held Central Committee meeting of AIBEA and having regard to the large number of vacancies which remain unfilled in the Branches and the increased workload on the available branch staff, it has been decided by AIBEA to highlight the problem and demand adequate recruitments in the Banks. We enclose herein the Resolution adopted bythe Central Committee of AIBEA and the details of the agitational programme for your information and necessary remedial response.
