Trade union body calls for two-day bank strike from Jan 30

The United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU), has called for a two-day strike call from January 30 for various demands.

The UFBU, in a statement, said since there was no response from the Indian Banks’ Association on the demands during a meeting held in Mumbai on Thursday, it has been decided to give a call for strike on January 30 and 31.

The trade unions have been demanding five-day banking, updation of pension and recruitment of people in all cadres, among other issues, it said.
