BRIEF HISTORY

Bank of India Staff Union Surat & South Gujarat Branches is one of the oldest constituent of our esteem Federation of Bank of India Staff Unions. It was formed on 6th June 1949. Late com. Amratlal Desai was the first General Secretary and founder member of the unit. He was a very simple man with high moral. Com. Amratlal had the distinction of participating as member from union in the discussion which led to promulgation of Desai Award.

Our unit showed its militancy by going for All India Strike for 40 days along with Kolkata union in the year 1951 under the leadership of late Com H. T. Ghadiali and late Com. Amratlal Desai. After the All India Strike, our unit continued its Strike for more days as the Bank was reluctant to take back clerks those were on probation or on temporary employment. Our leaders showed their commitment, conviction and the exemplary leadership quality to stand against bank’s vindictive attitude. Ultimately after 52 days, good sense prevailed upon management and strike was called off after all the clerks were reinstated in the Bank.

Subsequently Late Com. Yogesh Desai and Com. Suman Desai, consolidated the union activities in the State organization as well as in Surat city union activities. They also lead from the front and had contributed immensely towards the movements of Federation .

Present General Secretary Com. Jayesh Desai and President Com Anil Dubey are leading the unit with their young team of office bearers since 2004. They are the symbols of new generation taking over the challenges of making the unit more strong & vibrant. Our unit is actively participating in UFBU movement in Surat and State organization of Mahagujarat Bank Employees’ Association affiliated to AIBEA.
