What happened
Bank employees and officers across India are observing a three-day nationwide strike, running from September 28 to September 30. The action is organized by the United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) to pressure the government regarding outstanding commitments made over two and a half years ago. The unions are demanding the implementation of a five-day banking week, with Saturday and Sunday observed as weekly holidays, and the withdrawal of the new Performance Linked Incentive scheme.

Why it matters
