Govt Appeal PIB Release (ID :92299)
Ministry of Finance 19-February, 2013
Government again Appeals to the Bank Employees not to join the Strike on February 20-21, 2013
The Central Government is disappointed to note that a section of the bank employees has decided to join the strike called by certain Trade Unions on February 20-21, 2013.
Prime Minister of India has made an appeal to the Trade Unions not to go strike. Government has also set-up a Group of Ministers to talk to the Trade Union leaders. So far as bank employees are concerned, there is really no reason at all to join the strike. None of the main points contained in the charter of demands has any connection with the bank employees. Banks provide employment to a large number of people and continue to recruit every year. Bank employees have social security cover. They hold regular jobs which carry attractive scales of pay. They receive bonus, PF and gratuity in accordance with applicable laws. They are entitled to pension.
In view of the above, the Government would once again appeal to the bank employees not to join the strike on February 20-21, 2013.
