PSU bank staff to go on 4-day strike from Jan 21

Chandigarh, Jan 19: Over 10 lakh employees and officers of the public sector bank have decided to go on a 4-day strike from January 21. They will be protesting against the “rigid and callous attitude” of the central government in resolving issues like wage revision, according to a senior union leader. The bank staff were to hold a one day strike on January 7. However, they had decided to defer the strike date on the request of IBA, the leader said. “As there was no fresh proposal of hike from the side of IBA during this period, UFBU has decided to go ahead with the four-day strike which will have the impact of 6 days as 25th is Sunday and 26th January is national holiday,” the leader said.
