    Bank unions announce nationwide strike on Jan 31, Feb 1
  • Bank employee unions on Wednesday announced a two-day nationwide strike starting January 31.

    The strike is significant since it coincides with the days when the Economic Survey and the Union Budget will be announced.

    This is the second significant bank strike in January. Earlier, bank unions had joined the January 8 'Bharat bandh' called by trade unions.

    Here are more details.

  • The two-day strike was announced after talks of wage revision between banks and the Indian Banks Association (IBA) failed to make headway. The last wage revision meeting was held on January 13.

    The strike would greatly impact banking services on January 31, when the Economic Survey will be presented, and February 1, when Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present the Union Budget.

    Bank unions were offered 12.25% wage hike; they refused

  • According to Livemint, representatives of the nine trade union constituents of the United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) met with IBA to discuss several wage-related demands. However, their demands were turned down.

    They were offered a 12.25% hike, which they refused.

    UFBU has demanded wage revision settlement at a 20% hike on payslip components with adequate loading thereof.
