All India Insurance Employees Association (AIIEA) which is celebrating its Diamond Jubilee year (60 years), is the largest union in LIC with around 80% membership. In 2009, out of the new recruits, 87% joined AIIEA. But AIIEA is neither recognised nor accepted as the representative union of LIC workers. This is a clear denial of the democratic right of the workers to choose the union to represent them.

AIIEA organised a massive Post Card Campaign in December 2009 – January 2010 ( 2 months) protesting against the LIC (Amendment) Bill 2009, introduced in the Parliament to destabilise LIC and to help the MNCs and private insurance companies. An astounding 17,45,984 ( Seventeen lakhs forty-five thousand and nine hundred eighty-four ) post cards signed by Policy Holders were sent to the Prime Minister! We should congratulate the organisational capability and commitmentment of the AIIEA.
