Two Days’ Bank Strike: Minister’s reply in Lok Sabha

Two Days’ Bank Strike – Minister’s reply on unstarred Lok Sabha question:-

United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) gave a notice for two day strike for 10th & 11th of February, 2014 on their major issues/demands of 

(i) Immediate wage revision and 

(ii) stopping of Banking Reforms. 

After the notice for strike, a conciliation meeting of UFBU with Indian Banks Association (IBA) was held at the office of Chief Labour Commissioner (CLC), New Delhi wherein an appeal was made to UFBU to not resort to strike and to resolve the issues amicably, however, UFBU decided to go ahead with the strike. The wage revision exercise in Public Sector Banks is undertaken through a bipartite negotiation between the representatives of bank employees and management. 

It is not possible to quantify the loss caused, however the inconvenience caused to public was minimized with the function of Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) and online Banking.
