Banks may be closed for four consecutive days, including the weekend, if the planned nationwide strike by bank employees belonging to nine unions takes place on 24th and 25th March, 2025.
Employees are seeking a five-day workweek and addressing the shortage of staff, which they feel has not been attended by the government.
The United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) plans to protest for regularisation of temporary employees and withdrawal of performance reviews and performance-linked incentives (PLI) directives.
Participating employees in the strike may face a pay cut for the two-day period.
