Bank staff threaten two-day strike

The All India Bank Employees’ Association (AIBEA), which represents the employees of the public-sector banks, has threatened to go on a two-day strike from August 22, against the government’s proposed Banking Bill, closure of rural branches and other set of banking sector reforms. In a circular to the members, C H Venkatachalam, general secretary, AIBEA, said “the attacks are increasing and the IBA/government are indifferent to our demands. Hence UFBU has given the call to revive the agitation and struggle programmes. Further, the government is also proposing to amend the banking laws during the current session of Parliament. UFBU has therefore, decided that they should be ready for instant protest strike in such an eventuality”..........
