The Hindu Business Line : SBI Mumbai circle officers plan strike

Around 4,000 officers from State Bank of India branches in Maharashtra and Goa, under Mumbai Circle, will go on a one-day token strike on August 17, to protest the "inhuman and insensitive attitude of the management," said Mr Himmat Mahant, General Secretary of the SBI Officers' Association, Mumbai Circle. SBI Mumbai circle covers 872 branches in Goa and Maharashtra. The union bearers had a daylong meeting with the central management committee on Wednesday, but there was no concrete result, Mr Mahant said. The Association had given notice for the strike on July 10 and is protesting the inordinate delay in bringing back transferred officers to their original places of posting. While the Association is not opposing the policy of transfer, it is demanding that handicapped officers or those whose have ailing family members should be given some consideration, Mr Mahant said.
