Wage Settlement of Bank Employees, as today the Bank 9th Bipartite is all set to be signed – option for pension with 17.5% hike in salary.

As per the AIBOA – All India Bank Employees Association, the agreement was going to be signed today at around 5.00 PM.

All India Bank Employees Association, the oldest and largest national trade union centre of bank employees in India, was founded in 1946 on the 20th of April in Kolkata.

With this agreement being signed, Nearly 3.20 lakh public sector bankers are about to get another opportunity to opt for a monthly pension, which they had silently craved for years. The group includes some 60,000-odd retired bankers.

The United Forum of Bank Unions and the bank management’s association IBA have decided that retired bankers willing to switch over to the pension plan will have to surrender 56% of the PF, plus the interest on it.

They have also mutually decided that existing bank employees will have to share 30% of the additional pension burden while banks will shoulder the balance. Additional pension burden on account of existing employees is pegged at Rs 6,000 crore.

“Around 50% of bank employees had opted for monthly pension and it has proved to be a better choice. All provident fund optees are now expected to go for pension,” a senior banker said.

Public sector bank employees in general are entitled to only two retirement benefits — pension or provident fund and gratuity. There is an exception though: SBI employees get three superannuating benefits provident fund, gratuity and monthly pension.

The negotiating parties have agreed on a 17.5% wage hike amounting to an increase of Rs 2,577 crore. Nearly 2.44 lakh officers and 4.68 lakh workmen employees will benefit from the wage revision, which is due from November 2007.

As per the distribution of the enhanced kitty goes, basic pay for officers at the entry level is likely to be Rs 14,500 a month compared with Rs 10,000 under the eight bipartite.

For clerical staffers who are graduates, the basic pay is likely to be Rs 7,000 a month from Rs 4,840 earlier. For subordinate staffs, it will be Rs 5,500 per month, against Rs 4,060.

A British woman was killed in a frenzied knife attack by her jealous ex-boyfriend who stabbed her 130 times and gouged out her right eyeball. The assailant has been sentenced to a jail term of 23 yrs.

Thirtyfive-year-old Katie Cullen, a nurse, was repeatedly knifed in the face and neck by Iranian-born Iman Ghaefelipour in Cheshire, 28, Daily Mail reported.

Ghaefelipour was angry as Cullen had dumped him for stealing more than 3,000 pounds from her bank account. When his attempt to woo her back failed he turned violent and stabbed her more than 130 times.

He then gouged out her right eyeball and attempted to sever her right hand with the knife.

Ghaefelipour has been jailed for a minimum of 23 years after he pleaded guilty to her murder at Manchester Crown Court.

Cullen, who worked at the Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital, had begun dating Ghaelfelipour in 2008. They talked of moving in together. But the affair went sour after Cullen found out that Ghaefelipour was stealing money from her bank account.

She went to the police but didn't press charges after he said he would pay back the money in installments. Ghaefelipour went to her house on Oct 20 last year on the pretext of discussing the outstanding money.

A little while later, neighbours heard a scream and loud noises coming from her home in Stockport, Cheshire. Ghaefelipour managed to run away from the house and went to hospital where he claimed he had been mugged and was treated for cuts to his hands.

He was later arrested by police officers when he boarded a bus.

Telecom services, especially calls to and from BSNL network, will be disrupted from Tuesday morning, with nearly 3 lakh employees of the PSU beginning an indefinite strike to protest VRS and divestment proposals of the Sam Pitroda committee .

"I had a healthy discussion with the trade unions last Friday. They have apprehensions about some recommendations of the Pitroda committee report on BSNL. I cannot disclose any thing more than this about that meeting but I do hope they will call off their strike," Telecom Minister A Raja said on the sidelines of a conference in New Delhi.

Employees are protesting Pitroda panel's recommendations, which suggested voluntary retirement (VRS) to one lakh staff and 30 per cent disinvestment as part of improving the financial health of the PSU.

The strike call has been given by a joint forum of unions that has both executives and non-executives as members.

When contacted, BSNL Chairman and Managing Director Kuldeep Goyal said, "We are making efforts to ensure that services are not affected. Working on a contingency plan. We have about 10,000 senior staff, who are not participating in the strike, besides senior ITS cadre employees."

Goyal also said that a series of meetings were held with the striking unions but unfortunately they decided to go ahead with the strike.

Singh said about 50,000 executives and 2.50 lakh non-executive staff is participating in the strike and since almost entire technical staff will be on strike the services are bound to be affected.

BSNL saw profits plummet to Rs 178 crore in 2009-2010 (up to December 2009) from over Rs 575 crore in 2008-09 as the PSU is rapidly losing market share to new entrants. The PSU has 91 million users, both mobile and land line.

The Sam Pitroda panel was set up by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to suggest ways to improve BSNL's financial health. The panel had banker Deepak Parekh and Telecom Secretary P J Thomas as members.

Besides the scrapping of the divestment plan, the unions are also demanding absorption of the 1,500 Indian Telecom Services (ITS) officers, who have been continuing on deputation for the last 10 years.


The unions are also protesting sharing of BSNL infrastructure, including cables and towers, with private telecom companies.

It was a big moment for India - the launch of the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV). But minutes into launch, there was crisis with the indigenous cryogenic engine underperforming and the rocket deviating from its path. The worst fears had come true. The mission was a failure.

Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV-D3), blasts off carrying the communication satellite GSAT-4 from the Satish Dhawan space centre at Sriharikota, about 100 km from Chennai, on Thursday.

The ISRO chairman announced that the rocket had spun out of control and that the cryogenic engine may have ignited. He promised another attempt next year.

The cost of the mission was Rs 330 crore. The tall and majestic GSLV, if launched successfully, would have marked India's entry into the multi-billion dollar commercial launcher market on a fully indigenous rocket. A sophisticated new Indian technology called the cryogenic engine was being flown for the first time. In the five earlier flights, India had used pre used imported Russian made cryogenic engines. It was this engine that underperformed.

The Indian-made Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle, at 50 meters tall would be as high as a 25-storey building, and weighing a whopping 416 tons. It is a three-stage rocket.

The powerful booster technology using supercooled liquid fuel is designed to put heavier satellites into high orbits, about 36,000 kilometres (22,000 miles) from Earth.

It took India more than 15 years to develop this cryogenic engine as technology for this was denied. In the 1990s, America put pressure on Russia and forced the cancellation of an Indo-Russian technology transfer deal. The argument given was that India will use these engines to make missiles. Two decades later, none of the Indian missiles uses a cryogenic engine. A team of hundreds of scientists toiled day and night to master this technology.

This mission was to have hoisted a sophisticated communications satellite called G-Sat, an Indian-made experimental satellite that weighs 2200 kg and would improve the global positioning system. It was also to have tested a new electrical propulsion system to keep the satellite in its orbit. It was also carrying a set of Ka band transponders, which would have increased the quality of television coverage.

Larry King has filed for divorce from Shawn Southwick, his wife of almost thirteen years (and 25 years his junior). 

TMZ  reported that Southwick believes King has been having a five-year affair with her sister. Apparently, she checked his credit card statement and saw King had bought expensive gifts, including a $160,000 car, but none of it was given to Southwick. Her sister, Shannon Engemann, has flatly denied the affair, which was first alleged in a 2009 National Enquirer report.

For her part, Southwick is also being accused of past infidelities. 

According to PopEater sources, rumors have been circulating that the 50-year-old former singer has been having an affair of her own in recent months -- with an employee of King's.

And in 2008, the Enquirer reported she had an affair with the baseball coach of her and Larry's son.

The CNN talk host, 76, and Southwick, 50, tied the knot in 1997 and have two sons together, 11-year-old Chance and Cannon, 9. This will actually be the eighth divorce from seven different women for the CNN host. She has an older son from one of her three previous marriages.
  

The couple caused a stir in 2007 when they engaged in a very public spat inside and out of a Beverly Hills restaurant. The heated incident forced King's longtime rep, Rubenstein, to clarify: "He only has good feelings about her. He's deeply concerned about her well-being. He has enormous affection for her. He denies berating her."

In 2008, Southwick, a former TV host, entered rehab for addiction to painkillers. Her father, Karl Engmann, told PEOPLE that the issue was related to painful migraines. "She finally decided to do something about it," he said. "We're happy she's taking care of herself and everything will be fine."
