Bank Unions Call Off Strike After IBA Agrees to Review Demands
Bank unions called off their planned three-day strike after the Indian Banks Association (IBA) agreed to form a high-level committee with the United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) to discuss declaring remaining Saturdays as holidays. The committee will explore alternatives and seek a solution acceptable to all stakeholders, including customers. The unions want a five-day workweek, which banks resist due to customer inconvenience. Government ordered banks to remain open on Sunday to avoid disruption.
