Dear Comrades,
The fight for Five-Day Banking must not be seen merely as a struggle for implementation of an agreement that has remained pending for more than 30 months. This is a fight for our existence, our dignity, our families and our fundamental right to a humane working life.
Public Sector Bank employees serve far more customers than our private-sector counterparts. Even with private banks accounting for a substantial share of the banking market, it is overwhelmingly the Public Sector Banks and their employees who carry the burden of Government-sponsored schemes, financial inclusion, social-sector banking and the last-mile delivery of public policy.
We work for institutions owned by the people and for a Government that expects us to reach every citizen. We have never shied away from that responsibility. But those who expect us to serve the nation must also recognise one simple truth:
We are not robots. We are not machines. We are not AI tools. We are human beings.
We have families waiting for us, children who need our time, parents who need our care, and lives beyond targets, reviews, late-night meetings and relentless workplace pressure.
We are not asking for privilege. We are asking for dignity, balance and justice.
The growing culture of excessive working hours, constant pressure and an increasingly toxic work environment cannot become the new normal. Five-Day Banking is one important step towards restoring humanity to our workplaces.
Save the banker. Save the banking family. Respect the commitment already made.
Five-Day Banking is not a luxury.
It is not an unreasonable demand.
It is a just demand whose time has come.
Let us stand together, for ourselves, for our families and for the generations of bankers who will come after us.
Five-Day Banking is For Dignity. For Family. For a Humane Workplace.
March ahead with courage and unity for the three-day strike from 28th to 30th September and make it a resounding success. No fear, no threat and no intimidation can weaken our collective resolve. Officers and employees stand together , we are all strikers in this historic struggle.

@aiboc_in Our request to Gen Sec to please clarify the bank working on Sunday announced by RBI. Members of affiliates are frustrated which seems quite natural too. How can a public holiday can be changed to normal working day merely due to legitimate strike call by UFBU .🙏.
@aiboc_in CJP ke tin ladko ne minister ko resign karne pe majbur kar diya or aap log @aiboc_in@AIBEAofficial ke itne bade neta ho fir bhi government aapki baat nahi maan rahi?. Is bar #5DayBankingNow nahi liya to fir dekhna union khatam
@aiboc_in Absolutely ✊ we are with the fraternity 💪💪
United we stand, divided we fall.
March on for the rights of bank officers.
5-day banking is non-negotiable.
