The United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) has announced a strike on September 11 across India, demanding a five-day workweek in banks. The unions, representing seven bank employees' and officers' unions, are also seeking the declaration of all Saturdays as holidays, with work hours from Monday to Friday increased by 40 minutes. This proposal, however, remains pending with the Finance Ministry.
Other demands include adequate recruitment of clerical and sub-staff, conversion of the National Pension System (NPS) to the Old Pension Scheme (OPS), pension updates, uniform dearness allowance for pensioners, revision of ex-gratia for pre-November 2022 pensioners, and medical insurance for retirees. Bank branches will remain closed during the strike, and banking services will not be available.
Demonstrations are planned in Chennai on September 11 at 10.30 a.m. near the Collector’s Office, opposite Beach Station. The strike will continue on September 28, 29, and 30, followed by an indefinite strike from October 26 if demands are not met, according to C.H. Venkatachalam, general secretary of the All India Bank Employees’ Association.
