Nationwide Bank Strike Underway Amid Appeals from Finance Ministry
What happened
A nationwide strike has commenced involving bank unions, which claim to represent 90% of the banking workforce. The unions are primarily seeking a five-day banking week, along with updates to pension schemes and a uniform dearness allowance formula for all pensioners. The government stated that banks would remain open this Sunday ahead of the three-day nationwide strike. This follows the Finance Ministry's appeal to bank employees to refrain from striking and resolve their demands through dialogue.
