The United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU), a representative body of nine bank unions, have called for a bank strike on May 30 and 31.

This comes in the wake of Government’s casual approach to wage revision for bank employees/officers; IBA’s meagre offer of 2 per cent hike in wage bill towards wage increase and IBA’s delay in resolving charter of demands, C H Venkatachalam, General Secretary, All India Bank Employees Association (AIBEA), told BusinessLine.

The UFBU has demanded expeditious and early wage revision settlement. Also, the wage revision settlement should include all officers up to Scale VII, Venkatachalam said.
