Banking services remained interrupted across the country for the second
day on Wednesday May 30,2018 with over 10 lakh bank employees going on strike
against a proposal for a meagre wage hike of 2 per cent.
Nine bank unions under the umbrella United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) had decided to strike work after talks with the Indian Banks’ Association for wage negotiation failed. The IBA had proposed a wage hike of 2 per cent, which the bank unions termed ‘meagre’.
Bank unions are hoping for further negotiations with the IBA in June.
“Wage revision of bank employees was pending since November 2017, and the unions had submitted a charter of demands in July last year. After the strike, we will decide the future course of action and it may be a long strike, including indefinite strike,” said Ashwini Rana, Vice-President, National Organisation of Bank Workers.
