CHARTER OF DEMANDS
PREAMBLE

The structure of Pay scales presently in vogue was effective from 01.08.2002
and therefore, Revision thereof has become due from 01.08.2007.

While formulating the Demands, especially on Revision of Wages/Wage

structure which predominantly comprised of demands in economic terms, it is
essential to go into the broad spectrum of things and issues which are
confronting the General Insurance Companies and its Employees. Essentially
the economic demands cannot stand in isolation without due focus on issues
quite relevant to it and forms the basis for evolving proper perspective to the
issue of Wage Revision per se. In addition to contributing its role in terms of
its impact on economic demands, these issues do require its due attention at
the time of discussing issues at macro-level.

With this perspective, the following issues are listed hereunder:

1. RE-ORGANISATION

The Demand for formation of One Single Monolithic Corporation had remained
without much progress thereof. The pooling in of effective strengths-
Financial, Administrative, Technical and Marketing – based on the experiences
gained over three decades of its existence could get assimilated for achieving
best results in the industry. The Demand is reemphasised and it is insisted
that a dialogue be opened up for crystallizing the formation of One
Corporation.

Notwithstanding the above Demand, on Re-organisation required on the

functional aspects, the insistence would naturally be on ‘Full Functional
Autonomy’ to the Public Sector General Insurance Companies. While granting
functional freedom, the Government may take assurances on performance
from the managements so as to ensure that the performance levels are
maintained as per the expectations of the Administrative
Ministry/Government.

Various suggestions given by GIEAIA from time to time in response to the

recommendations of external agencies – like ‘Ferguson’ – remains and re-
emphasised here. The expectation level of customers, fast-pace of changes
taking place within the industry – such as removal of tariff barriers,
preparations towards new products development – all these issues require
meaningful, constructive and responsive bilateral discussions and the GIEAIA
with its majority representative character expects the management to roll-out
proper mechanism hereof to ensure that the companies make best use of the
talents available for achieving exemplary results out of these changes.

Recent initiatives of the companies in engaging external agencies like ‘Boston

consulting Group’, ‘Pricewaterhouse Coopers’ with terms of reference relating
to restructuring, needs to be brought within the ambit of ‘BILATERALISM’.

In our considered opinion this is not the panacea for the ills afflicting the
industry. The remedy lies in “Formation of one Single Monolithic
Corporation”.

These Macro-level changes do mean further pressure on Employees – in

addition to the work pressures transpired on them following mass exits
through ‘SVRS’ and therefore, these aspects do contribute while deciding the
factors for revision of wages and the need for granting substantial hike.

2. RECOGNITION

This is one of the long pending demands – Demand remains unresolved for
more than three decades now. In partial consideration, the Check-off
exercise was introduced in the year 2004 and the industry-wise second such
exercise was conducted in 2006. Undoubtedly the GIEAIA had established its
majority character under both the exercises. Following these exercises,
representative character of the Association have been well established and it
is time for us to move forward – from the stages of Check-off to full-fledged
Recognition of Union – The GIEAIA This has become necessary in view of the
fact that the bilateral mechanism as presently available does not truly reflect
the benefits and advantages of ascertaining the representative characters of
various unions and the GIEAIA, having proved its strength as per its claims
needs better positioning to further the cause of employees and the Industry
to enable it to play its effective role.

The emphasis on recognition at this juncture does assume significance –

extending proper recognition based on representative character of the Union
would be crucial in the forthcoming negotiations and finalization of Charter of
Demands and other issues at the Macro-level.

3. OUTSOURCING

On the issue of outsourcing, the position of Managements had remained

lackadaisical. In the name of outsourcing, some of the ‘CORE FUNCTIONS’ of
the offices – like claim settlement of Mediclaim Policies, some of the functions
under Motor claims – were also ‘OUTSOURCED’ despite opposition from
GIEAIA, with the result the service parameters of the Companies in these
segments have been coming down. As a consequence, the efficient, effective
and experienced manpower available within the companies have not been
utilized properly in these areas. On a number of occasions, the
 GENERAL INSURANCE EMPLOYEES ALL INDIA ASSOCIATION
3rd Floor, Sterling Cinema Building, Murzaban Road, Fort, MUMBAI – 400 001.
Telephone - 022 22070058, 2207 3508 Fax 2207 3996

employees were to face the wrath of customers who were otherwise

dissatisfied with the kind of service extended by those Third Party
Administrators who were engaged therefor.

It is, therefore, very essential that in order to protect the brand image of
Public Sector General Insurance Companies, the management shall forthwith
stop the contemplated move of outsourcing.

4. RECRUITMENT

The Public Sector General Insurance Companies have been registering

phenomenal progress and growth consistently year-after-year. There had
been no addition to the workforce subsequent to the last general recruitment
drive conducted during the year 1991-1992. Despite regular exits by way of
retirements and resignations and of mass exits through SVRS, the Companies
could achieve these results with additional burden being shouldered and
shared by the employees in a big way. It should be borne in mind that the
absence of “NEW ATTRITION” affects the performance levels of the
companies. This is one of the very important factors being kept before while
formulating the Charter on pure Economic Demands.

As an upshot, it is emphatically emphasized here that the need for making

additions to the staff complement of the companies cannot be brushed aside
further and in order to raise further the performance levels of the operating
offices, the recruitment drive has to be taken up forthwith. It is a fact that
despite best efforts of the employees at the operating offices who were taking
on additional burden to off-set the space fallen vacant on account of exits,
the vacuum could not get filled up fully and with the challenges confronting
the Industry/Companies, the necessity to increase our workforce would
become paramount. We are sure and confident that substantial rise in ‘Wage
Package’ and increased workforce would be the two important factors

to counter the effects of “EXITS’ AND ‘BRAIN-DRAIN’ and the companies can
look upon the reap spectacular returns on its investments in human capita.

5. PAY SCALES
