The proposed three-day nationwide bank strike from September 28 to 30 has been deferred after the United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) and the Indian Banks’ Association (IBA) reached an understanding on September 27.
The key issue behind the strike was the long-pending demand for a five-day banking week, with Saturdays and Sundays as holidays. A high-level committee will now examine the demand and consult relevant stakeholders.
