Some 3000 members of the National Union of Bank Employees (NUBE) have turned up on the streets of Kuala Lumpur to protest against employers this afternoon.

After gathering in front of the Maybank headquarters around 2pm, they appealed for 10 demands, such as stopping the exploitation of workers, especially in regards to the ill-treatment of pregnant women in the workforce.

They then marched towards the CIMB bank at Menara UAB from Maybank headquarters, while chanting slogans like “Maybank down!”, “CIMB down!” and “We will fight till the end” during the three-hour protest.

The protest was named "Picket Daulat 6413" in conjunction with the first anniversary of the NUBE meeting with then Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, which took place on April 6 last year.

NUBE secretary-general J Solomon (left) said that although the bankers have dismissed the employees’ request for a 51-percent salary increment for three years as “excessive”, yet the top management has been enjoying an annual salary increment of 53 percent.

For example, he named the chief executive officers of Bank Muamalat, Maybank and CIMB as having earned as much as RM833,300 monthly, whereas their subordinates are paid as little as RM900 a month.

“If the CEOs of CIMB, Maybank and Muamalat cannot protect the workers’ rights, resign now... if they are still deaf (on our demands), resign!

'Overcharging led to bankruptcy'

“If they are still stubborn, we will come back again with more people!” he told to cheers from the crowd, some of whom were armed with placards reading “(CIMB bank CEO) Nazir is cruel”, among others.

At a press conference later, Solomon also slammed the bankers for overcharging their customers, the effects of which have led them to the path of “bankruptcy”.

When queried on whether NUBE will be appealing to political parties during the coming polls, he claimed that the union will remain apolitical.

“We don’t want to politicise the workers’ issue... we expect politicians to understand our grief,” he told reporters.

However, Solomon has noted that the government should not allow the government-linked company (GLC) bankers to oppress and suppress the workers’ rights.

Nube anjur piket kebangsaan di KL

Sebahagian daripada ahli Nube yang menyertai piket kebangsaan di ibu negara.

KUALA LUMPUR - Kesatuan Kebangsaan Pekerja-Pekerja Bank (Nube) hari ini melancarkan piket - "Piket Daulat 6413" - secara besar-besaran dalam menunjukkan bantahan berhubung siri pertikaian melibatkan kepentingan pekerja-pekerja industri perbankan.

Piket bermula kira-kira jam 2 petang dengan ahli-ahli Nube membanjiri Dataran Mayban di Jalan Tun Perak sebelum mereka berarak ke ibu pejabat bangunan CIMB.

Para peserta piket memegang sepanduk dan kain rentang yang mengecam ketidakadilan ke atas kebajikan pekerja bank-bank. http://www.sinarharian.com.my

15,000 orang keatas, ahli yang hadir ke Piket Daulat 6413 dan bukannya 3,000 orang ahli sahaja, dakwa pihak media

Sabtu, 04 April 2013 – NUBE pada hari ini mencipta sejarah baru kesatuan pekerja di Malaysia dalam abad ini setelah berjaya menganjurkan PIKET DAULAT 6413 menentang 3 bank GLC (Goverment Link Company) iaitu CIMB, Maybank dan Muamaalat setelah berlakunya penindasan dan kezaliman oleh pihak majikan bank ini terhadap pekerjanya bawahan perpendapatan rendah. Semua ahli yanh hadir turun berpiket beramai – ramai di dua lokasi iaitu Menara Maybank berhampiran Pudu Raya dan CIMB Jalan Tun Perak berdekatan Dataran Merdeka.

Namun, yang dikesali adalah laporan yang disiar dibeberapa media online menyebutkan kehadiran ahli – ahli NUBE adalah lingkungan 3000 orang sahaja bahkan kehadirannya dijangkakan melebihi 15,000 orang ahli yang hadir pada hari ini dalam sejarah kesatuan sekerja di Malaysia.

Satu angka yang besar tetapi diselindungi daripada orang awam merupakan dakwaan tidak wajar  sedangkan bilangnya adalah sememangnya begitu ramai. Jika dilihat hari ini di tempat piket laluan iaitu di Jalan Tun Perak menuju ke Menara Maybank penuh sesak dengan para pemiket berbaju merah yang hampir menutup laluan berkenaan. Maka tidak dinafikan pihak Polis Diraja Malaysia amat sibuk mengawal lalulintas hinggakan sukar bagi mereka mengawal lalulintas sedangkan para pemiket sedang merayakan pesta dijalan raya.

Sungguh indah kelihatan sepanjang Jalan Tun Perak menuju ke Menara Maybank belasan ribu ahli – ahli NUBE menunjukkan perjuangan mereka kepada pihak bank terbabit sebagai isyarat kebangkitan warga pekerja bank takkala parlimen Malaysia telahpun dibubarkan.
