Freudian?Hi SlurryPump,
Believe it or not I have never raised one issue with the IBOA in my life before this request for assistance. I have never complained to them, written to them, spoken to them. I have never had a relationship with the IBOA other than paying my sub and turning up for the occasional IBOA meeting that might be held after office hours.
I simply wrote to them looking for help in dealing with my employer.
If they didn't want to help or if it was outside their remit all as they had to do was ring me, drop me a note, send me an email.
I was simply looking for a response to an enquiry.
Ring offices asking to speak directly to Broderick, maybe threaten to go on Joe Duffy , talk to media about him ....
Seem like a gang of jokers alright ..
....especially when they offer an individual service to their members......
Never had a problem with the IBOA , in actual fact given the ways the Banks operated during the Celtic Tiger period with an undue emphasis on selling products to customers whether they needed them or not and then rewarding staff with result based bonuses and pay for performance contracts those of us who insisted on remaining on IBOA negotiated contracts would have been walked on if not for IBOA support.When you consider the amount of dues that the IBOA collects from it's members on a monthly/annual basis, it must be huge. From memory the IBOA never paid "strike money" back in the 1970 and 1976 bank strikes. What do they really do for their subscriptions? Is it just jobs for the boys?
Certainly the OP seems to have been badly treated by this organisation especially when they offer an individual service to their members. I would have thought that answering a letter would be the least that they could do for a member and perhaps a "follow up".
I dont think this or any other trade union offers "an individual service to their members". No more than a GAA club or Tennis Club offers individual service to their members.
Do you think that the majority of members who pay their subs from every paycheque are too dumb to have noticed this?When you consider the amount of dues that the IBOA collects from it's members on a monthly/annual basis, it must be huge.

Are you insinuating that the poster is lying?Freudian?
My own personal experience with the IBOA is that they have always been helpful if member's have valid compaints.Are you insinuating that the poster is lying?
Just because their post may offend your socialist dogma it is no reason to question their integrity.

Cancel your sub and tell them why.
Then tell them you are encouraging your union comrades in your branch to leave.
Someone from union HQ will take notice
Actually they are trade unionists whose wages are paid by the members who represent the majority of Bank Officials , the membership fees are based on what's paid by Irish Members so it appears that the IBOA are being very good to UK members but then that's typical of them !In fairness they are bankers; what would they know about exchange rates?

It's extremely heartening to see the huge increase in membership but I suppose that's always the way - when trouble is in the offing membership always increases !
And of course the great benefit that they successfully negotiated the 3.5% increase for all Bank of Ireland staff on Union negotiated contracts payable under the National Wage Agreement towards 2016 and also wage increases for Ulster Bank staff and are currently in negotiations with AIB , they have also concluded an agreement that there will be no further job losses in Ulster Bank after the matter of the 750 voluntary redundancies vis-a-vis the First Active rationalisations are concludedThe IBOA trade union seems to be well suited to the banking world,very quick to contact people when they want money but constantly out of the office when you have a genuine problem.The only thing to do is change Union and they might give you new customer preferential treatment and do something.
