Bank employees including officers from 1,400 bank branches and 600 ATMs across the city will go on a day-long strike to protest against bank reforms and non-implementation of wage revision for more than one year. Nine bank unions under the umbrella of United Forum of Bank Unions are backing the stir in which more than 10 lakh bank employees and officers of public sector banks, private banks and foreign banks would participate.
The bank employees are demanding immediate wage revision settlement and protesting against the ongoing banking sector reforms. A protest would be staged in front of district Collectorate around 10.30 am.
Interestingly, the stir was originally planned on December 19 but since three states had holidays on that date, the stir was rescheduled on December 18.
