Public Sector banks’ employees on Monday renewed their threat to go on an indefinite strike if the Indian Banks’ Association (IBA) failed to accept their demands by May 31.
“If IBA does not come out with a solution with regard to our demands within a given time-frame of three months ending on May 31, then we will be left with no option but to again adopt agitational path. And this time, we will observe indefinite strike,” All India Bank Officers’ Confederation (a member of United Forum of Bank Unions) General Secretary Amar Pal said here on Monday during the 8th Triennial General Council meeting.
Agitating bank employees had abandoned their two-day strike called on February 25-26 following an agreement between the apex bankers’ body IBA and United Forum of Bank Unions.
Bank employees have been demanding one more option for pension to provident fund optees, besides opposing merger of SBI associate banks with itself.
They are also seeking appointments on compassionate grounds, besides protesting outsourcing.
