The Hindu Business Line : Central Bank staff observe strike

Employees of Central Bank of India were on strike on Monday in protest against the management for what they claimed were "unwarranted attacks on employees, officers, trade unions and trade union leaders."

According to Mr Subhash Sawant, General Secretary, All India Central Bank Employees Congress, around 90 per cent of the bank's 40,000 employees participated in the strike. Clearing operations in the bank's 3,200 branches were hit, with only a few officials from the senior management reporting to work. A statement from the United Forum of Central Bank Unions said that the protest was against unilateral changes in staff-related policies like transfers and promotions and attacks on trade unions. There will be more strikes across various zones in February, it said.
