Kochi:
The All India Bank Officers' Confederation (AIBOC) has
decided to boycott
cheques issued by the Thrissur based Dhanalakshmi Bank,
in protest against, what it says, is the banks anti-labour
policy towards its officers.
The
confederations secretary in Kerala, V K Prasad,
told media persons here that AIBOC had also decided to
support the ongoing agitation of the Dhanalakshmi Bank
Officers Organisation. The confederation says that the
Dhanlakshmi Bank's recent move to reduce the retirement
age of officers from 60 to 58 was highly discriminatory,
and was aimed at destabilizing this old private sector
bank. The confederation also wants the management to retain
the bank's headquarters at Thrissur.
AIBOC
national vice president P V Mathew and the state vice
president were also present at the media conference.
