India’s Bank employees seek two things rooted in fairness and dignity at work.
#5DayWeekandFairPLI
The demand for a 5 Day Work Week in banks is not new. It already stands agreed upon in the Bipartite Settlement of March 2024. What remains is its long-pending implementation.
At the same time, the unilateral and discriminatory PLI system must be abolished and replaced with a fair, transparent and inclusive framework for all employees, recognising the collective effort behind every institution’s performance.
Hardworking bank employees are not asking for privilege. They are asking for implementation of an agreement and equality in reward.
A motivated banking workforce strengthens Indian banking and the nation.
@PMOIndia
A rested workforce serves the public better. With staff shortages and rising stress, 5-day banking is a service-quality issue, not a “perk.” UFBU has pursued this since 2015; IBA has recommended it to the Government (MoU 07-12-2023), and it’s included in the 12th Bipartite/9th Joint Note (08-03-2024), pending clearances.
Let’s finish what’s already agreed.
#Implement5DayBanking
@FinMinIndia@DFS_India@PMOIndia@ChiefIba
When the world is moving to a 4-day week, and banking is already 24x7 in the digital era, bankers asking for a 5-day week isn’t a luxury. It’s justice.
IBA has agreed. The understanding is signed.
Now the Government must honour its commitment – no more excuses, no more delays.
Respect the Settlement. Deliver it.
We demand #5DayBankingNow
Thank you, Hon’ble Prime Minister, for your appreciation of PSU Banks. The employees and officers in public sector banks are dedicatedly serving the citizens of this country 24/7, despite facing staff shortages and numerous workplace challenges. The employee-to-customer ratio in private banks is significantly higher compared to public sector banks.
To secure better working conditions for public sector bankers, an agreement was reached between the IBA and Banking Unions and Associations on 8th March 2024 to introduce a ‘5-day work week’ in banks. We kindly request your esteemed office to intervene and officially declare a ‘5-day work week’ for the banking sector. This will help reduce stress and fatigue thereby improving the productivity of bank employees and enabling them to serve the fellow citizens with renewed enthusiasm.
