Comments:
It is a retrograde idea. Banks will need to continue to work for six
days.
making five days a week will be a good move.since india is copying from
usa let this also be done so that the bank staff and their families will
be happy. now they work till late nights and on saturdays till night.
this has put a lot of pressure on their family and psychologically.
Such demands are put forward by union leaders for bargaining and getting personal benefits for themselves in return for withdrawing the demands discreetly.
