270. Apex banking lobby Indian Banks Association (IBA) today offered to increase the wages of over three dozen bank employees by six percent, compared with the two percent hike offered earlier, bank unions said today. However, unions, under the banner of United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU), rejected the offer again, but said they are open for further negotiations. "IBA improved the offer from two percent to six percent. UFBU has rejected the offer but have agreed to continue to negotiate," UFBU convener for Maharashtra, Devidas Tuljapurkar, said after the 13th round of wage negotiations with IBA today. He said bank unions are demanding a 25 percent hike and the IBA has agreed to have fresh discussions on the issue by the end of August. Close to 37 banks, including public, private and foreign banks, have mandated the IBA to decide on wage hikes for their employees. The current wage revision is due from November 2017, after the 10th Bipartite Settlement ended in October 2017. In the 10th Bipartite wage settlement, which was signed in May 2015, for the period between November 2012 and October 2017, the IBA had offered a 15 percent hike. In the May 5 round of negotiations, the IBA had offered a meagre 2 percent wage hike. Banks unions did not accept the offer and went on a two-day strike starting May 30. Banks' management had justified the nominal hike citing huge losses incurred by in the past few quarters. However, bank unions said the fall in profit are on account of higher provisioning towards non-performing assets and the employees are not responsible for that. They also said that employees have been tirelessly working towards implementing various government schemes such as Jan Dhan, demonetisation, Mudra and Atal Pension Yojana, among others.
271. NEW DELHI: Petrol and diesel rates inched higher on Monday after falling for two weeks as international crude oil prices rose.Prices went up 9 paise per litre in case of petrol and 13 paise in case of diesel. At Indian Oil Corporation pumps in Delhi, petrol was priced at Rs 76.25 per litre and diesel Rs 67.75 per litre.Prices of petrol and diesel fell 79 paise and 99 paise per litre respectively between July 15 and July 29.Local petrol and diesel prices are based on the average of trailing 15 days’ international fuel rates and factor in the fluctuation in the exchange rate. State-owned fuel retailers publish rates daily.The reversal in local fuel price trend reflected the rise in global rates of crude oil, which gained $3 a barrel in a fortnight to trade at $75 a barrel on Monday.Crude oil rates have been rising as the looming US sanctions on Iran have begun to hurt supplies from the Islamic republic. US sanctions linked to the petroleum sector are still about three months away from taking effect but refiners are already facing problems in sourcing supplies from Iran.To protect its supplies to India, Iran has offered to insure oil shipments to India after Indian insurers backed out. Unable to share their risk with American and European reinsurers wary of US sanctions, Indian insurers are turning away Indian refiners.Oil prices also rose in response to an announcement by Saudi Arabia last week that it was suspending oil shipments through the Red Sea’s Bab al-Mandeb strait, a key oil trade route, after Iran-linked group attacked two vessels.The trade war between the US and China is, however, expected to hurt demand for energy, and is acting as a check on oil prices.
