THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The United Forum of Bank Unions has called for a nationwide bank strike on August 22 in protest against the recent central government policies on banking. As a follow up, a parliament march will be held on September 15 in New Delhi.
"Over10 lakh bank employees in the country will join the strike. Rallies and protest meetings will be organized as part of the protest," said C D Josen, state convener, UFBU. One lakh employees will take part in the parliament march on September 15.
The merger of the associate banks of the state bank group and the introduction of the GST bill has brought about a lot of policy changes in the banking scenario. The employees will also demand slapping criminal charges on wilful defaulters, introduction of appointment on compassionate grounds in all banks, abandoning FRDI bill and stopping the practice of employing asset reconstruction companies, etc.
