Bank unions may go on 4-day strike - The Asian Age

Unhappy with wage increase offered by management of banks, PSU bank employee unions on Tuesday threatened to go on a four-day strike from February 25.

Indian Banks’ Association has bettered its earlier offer 12.5 per cent and then again to 13 per cent on Tueday. “IBA offered a meagre 0.5 per cent improvement in wages which is unacceptable to us,” united forum of bank unions convener M.V. Murali said. We want 19 per cent hike in wages, he said.

It has been unanimously decided that bank employees would go on a four-day strike from February 25-28, Ashwini Rana, general secretary of NOBW, said. If strike happnes it would impact government fund transfer during Budget, which starts from February 23.
