✊ Bank unions planning strikes over working week and PLI.
Bank unions have announced major industrial action against the government's decisions. This action is being taken by the United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) across India. The protests include a strike on September 11th, a three-day strike from September 28-30, and an indefinite strike starting October 26th. Key demands involve the delayed five-day work week, opposition to the revised PLI scheme, and pending pension issues. The unions argue these are issues from existing agreements, while the government aims to boost productivity.
