Bank officers' body All India Bank Officers' Confederation (AIBOC) has threatened a nationwide strike on February 24-25 over various demands, including five working days a week and adequate recruitment in all cadres.
Further, the federation has demanded immediate withdrawal of the recent instructions of the Department of Financial Services (DFS) on performance review and performance based incentives (PLI), which threaten job security and create divisions among employees. We do.
AIBOC also stressed on filling up the posts of employees/officer directors in public sector banks and resolving the outstanding issues with the Indian Banks Association (IBA). The executive committee has proposed a two-day nationwide strike, possibly scheduled for February 24-25, 2025, the All India Bank Officers' Confederation (AIBOC) said in a statement.
If necessary, more stringent steps can be taken. After receiving the strike notice this month, agitation related activities will start. The federation alleged that the autonomy of the boards in policy matters is being weakened by the micro-management of public sector banks by the Department of Financial Services.
