Bank Unions Call for 3-day Nationwide Strike

GUWAHATI: After the two-day strike on January 31 and February 1 by the Bank Unions, Bank Employees Federation of India (BEFI) and the All India Bank Employees’ Association (AIBEA) informed that a three-day nationwide bank strike will be observed from March 11 to 13.

The strike has been called after talks over wage revision failed to initiate with the Indian Banks’ Association (IBA).

It is to be mentioned that this would be the third bank strike this month, after the first one was observed along with Bharat Bandh on January 8.

If the bank strike materialises, several PSU bank branches and even ATMs could be shut for five consecutive days.

Private banks like ICICI Bank, Axis Bank and HDFC Bank will, however, not be affected due to the strike.
