Nationwide Bank Strike Disrupts Services Amid PLI Scheme Dispute
What happened
The United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU), an umbrella body representing bank officers and staff, has called a three-day nationwide strike on September 28, 29, and 30. The protests are against the Department of Financial Services' directive, which they claim unilaterally introduced a revised Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme. UFBU has taken the matter to the Delhi High Court, where it is pending.
