Employees of the six associate banks of the State Bank of India (SBI) would go on a nation-wide strike tomorrow for not getting benefits at par with the SBI staff and their merger with the parent bank.
As many as 60,000 Class III and IV employees are going on strike against the discrimination in extension of loan and interest reduction benefits, said All India State Bank of Indore Officers’ Coordination Committee member Alok Khare.
“The talks between the SBI management and us have failed because of the their rigid attitude. Therefore, we are forced to observe an one-day strike tomorrow,” said Naresh Gaur, General Secretary of State Sector Bank Employees Association (SSBEA).
He lamented that the management has not extended the benefits, which have already been extended to SBI staff for the last one-and-half years, to the employees of the associate banks.
