Bank unions threaten two- day stir in July

Chennai Trade unions of banks demanded regulated working hours and a five- day week for officers and threatened to go on a two- day strike in July, in support of their charter of demands. G D Nadaf, Convenor of United Forum for Bank Unions ( UFBU) said central government offices and RBI were working five days a week and asked why banking industry cannot be brought on the same pattern. Nadaf said some of the residual issues of the 9th Bipartite settlement like compassionate appointment scheme, improvement to staff loans, corrections to second option on pension scheme were still pending with the IBA/ government. " Instead, one- hour working hour may be increased for five days in a week," he said ahead of the three- day meet of All India State Bank Officers' Federation.
