Three-Day Bank Strike has been deferred. But five-day week is a good idea for bank employees and bank balance sheets. Customers will not suffer in a digital economy, if planned with care. Win-win-win for all three. Latest #BankersTrust in @bsindia
बैंक यूनियन्स को बैंकर्स का काटना ही था तो कम से कम सैटरडे को ही ये सब कर लेते।
संडे भी काम करा लिया और स्ट्राइक भी कैंसिल कर दी।
बेचारे सैटरडे की छुट्टी माँग रहे थे, यहाँ एक संडे एक्स्ट्रा काम करवा दिया यूनियन ने।
गजबे है
I’m @TheOfficialSBI & @canarabank customer and proud of the staff who serve us even beyond working hours. I support the bank strike and stand in solidarity with bankers. Govt & management should engage with employees directly, instead of dragging customers for your politics.
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.

Employees across the country aim for balanced work-life, join us in advocating for the promise of a 5-day banking week. #5DayWeekandFairPLI#AIBOC@PMOIndia
Bankers keep India connected 24×7.
But behind every transaction, target and deadline is a human being, with a family, responsibilities and a life beyond the branch.
A 5-day week was agreed in March 2024, with bankers accepting longer working hours from Monday to Friday.
The demand is reasonable. The commitment is proven. The delay is difficult to justify.
Implement 5-Day Banking now.

8.86 lakh employees in 2012-13.
7.58 lakh by March 2025.
Business past Rs 283 lakh crore.
Record profits, over a lakh fewer hands and still six day per week.
5 day banking is not a concession. It is arithmetic that caught up long ago

Every 24x7 banking service has a banker behind it and a family waiting at home. We agreed to the 5-day week in March 2024 and accepted longer weekday hours. The regulator, the insurer and the Government all work 5 days.
Our demand is just. The delay is not.

This ongoing struggle for 5-day banking is anchored in a promise, and it’s about time that those promises are brought to fruition. #5DayBankingNow#AIBOC@PMOIndia https://t.co/AkUUvZdZpl
