The Catholic Syrian Bank Retirees' Association
THE CATHOLIC SYRIAN BANK RETIREES’ ASSOCIATION No.25/981/1B, TOP CORAL, KUNNATH MANA LANE, THRISSUR- 680001 CIRCULAR No. 02/2015-17 3rd August, 2015 10th BIPARTITE SETTLEMENT – RETIREES ISSUES NOT CONSIDERED In the settlement signed on 25th May, 2015, none of the demands of the retirees were agreed nor sanctioned. This was ispite of the fact that UFBU and its constituents included a detailed list of the demands of retirees in their charter of demands, and assured not to sign the settlement till the demands are met. This has resulted into huge dissatisfaction and disappointment among more than 3 lakh bank retirees and family pensioners. Now, new struggle has begun by the Bank Retirees with new challenges. We are confident that final victory will be ours and AIBRF and retirees movement will come out with flying colours in the coming days. Along with signing wage settlement for employees, IBA and UFBU have signed Record Note Dated 25.05.15 giving their stand on various retiree demands/ issues. This document deals with 8 retiree demands/ issues namely (a) Uniform medical facility (b) LTC to retirees (c) 100 percent Dearness Allowance to pre November 2002 retirees (d) Improvement in family pension (e) Merger of DA up to 4440 points in the basic pension (f) Updation of pension (g) Periodical updation at the time of wage settlement in future (h) Uniform allocation of funds for retirees out of welfare funds. The demands listed in the document cover all our present pending issues. In the beginning of the document , IBA has come out with the statement “ any demand of retirees can be examined only as welfare measure as contractual relationship does not exist between banks and retires.” The unions, while signing the document has not recorded their stand on this issue and thereby endorsed the position taken by IBA. -

Impact of Global Financial Crisis on Net Profit
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION AND DESIGN OF THE STUDY 1.1 INTRODUCTION The term financial crisis applied broadly to variety of situations in which some financial institutions or assets suddenly loss a large part of their value. The global financial crisis really started to show its effect in the middle of 2007 and into 2008. It was derived initially by problems in the U.S credit and housing markets. It quickly spread worldwide given the interconnectedness of the global economy in trade, finance and investments. Around the world the stock markets have fallen, larger financial institutions have collapsed or been bought out and govt. in even the wealthiest nations have led to come up with rescue packages to save their financial system. The periodic crises resulting from the capitalist business cycle now unfolds at the global level. The current crisis of the world economy is an outcome of the consolidation of economic power that the globalization of capital has secured for the transnational corporations. This has led to a string of problems associated with the financial, banking, real estate, and productive sectors of the economy that have triggered the current economic crisis. From 1820 to 1970, every decade U.S. workers experienced a rising level of wages. In the 1970s this came to an end; real wages stopped rising and they have never resumed since. U.S. workers became more productive, but got paid the same; wages began to stagnate and decline. The gap between labor and capital grew bigger. They bought other corporations (mergers and acquisitions) and they put their money into banks.
