Bharat Bandh
Banks to join Bharat Bandh called on Monday-Tuesday
New Delhi/IBNS: A joint forum of central trade unions has called for a nationwide strike on Monday and Tuesday to protest against the Centre's policies affecting workers.
The banking sector will be joining the strike, the All India Bank Employees Association said on Facebook.
The call for a nationwide strike was taken after a meeting of the joint platform of central trade unions on March 22, 2022.
After taking stock of preparations in various states, the unions announced a two-day all-India strike against "the anti-worker, anti-farmer, anti-people and anti-national policies" of the central government.
The bank unions will participate in the strike to protest against the government's plan to privatise public sector banks, as well as the Banking Laws Amendment Bill 2021.
The State Bank of India has issued a statement informing customers that banking services may be impacted on March 28 and 29.
