The 12th triennial general council meeting of State Banks’ Staff Union (Karnataka) will be conducted in Mangalore on November 1 and 2.

Addressing presspersons in Mangalore on Friday, M C Mangsuli, President of Karnataka unit of the union, said that Ashwini Mehra, Deputy Managing Director of State Bank of India, will participate at the inauguration of the programme.

He said that the State Banks’ Staff Union (SBSU) is representing around 99.99 per cent of the clerical and subordinate staff working in 700-plus branches of State Bank of India in Karnataka.

Various issues related to banking sector will be discussed at the meeting, he said.

Though the discussions on wage revision in banking industry under the 10th bipartite agreement are underway for more than two years, there are no signs of reaching an early settlement.

To achieve some of the demands, the United Forum of Bank Unions (of which SBSU is a part) has chalked out various programmes. The United Forum of Bank Unions will stage a one-day strike on November 12 in the country. This will be followed by relay strikes at zonal-level from December 2 to 5, Mangsuli added.
