[Bapun]

Around 400,000 bank employees throughout the country are set to strike on September 26-27 to protest against the merger of public sector banks.

Speaking to ANI, secretary of All India Bank Officers' Confederation's (AIBOC) state unit R Sekaran, said: "From September 26 to 27, four organisations representing four lakh [400,000] officers throughout the country will go on strike. We are opposing the merger of public sector banks as it is against the general public." Accusing the Central government of taking unilateral action, Sekaran said the Central government has not consulted the banking personnel and the general public before making the decisions.

Bro Are The Strike demands
1.5 Day week in full : Do they want All Saturdays as holidays in a month.ie 4 Saturdays+4 Sundays=8 Days in a Month. A full week is gone in holidays.Why?
2.Reduction in Transaction Cash Hours: Already Banks are operating from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm and 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm / 4:00 pm.That is not even a 9 to 5 Hours. Are they becoming more lazy.

According to me if they want all 5 day a week then the Cash Transactions Hours should be from 9 to 5 hrs.
I am totally against merging of banks.But the Strike Demand should be reasonable.

I totally agree
After few years they will call another strike and demand 4 working days in a week.
Kick half of the employees from all these banks. Install cash deposit machine and Passbook update and cheque deposit machine on all branch(like SBI). In this way bank will save Lacs of yearly salary of few employees.
