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.

@rupamsmail We are all with you Sir

[Bhanu Teja Maddula @mbteja]

Rested and healthy bank staff perform better; let’s implement the agreed 5-day week to boost productivity in the sector. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[Bhanu Teja Maddula @mbteja]

We still work Saturdays because the 5-day week is not in effect; it's time to fulfil the commitments made to bank staff. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[Bhanu Teja Maddula @mbteja]

Demonstrations and strikes are not our first choice, but we will keep fighting for the 5-day banking commitment to be met. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[Bhanu Teja Maddula @mbteja]

The need for a 5-day week is clear and compelling; the time for implementation is now. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[Bhanu Teja Maddula @mbteja]

With the looming strike and growing public support, the time to implement the 5-day banking week is now—enough waiting! #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[Bhanu Teja Maddula @mbteja]

The need for rest and recovery is crucial, and implementing 5-day banking provides the necessary balance for staff. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[Bhanu Teja Maddula @mbteja]

The agreed commitment for 5-day banking has been pending for far too long; it needs immediate attention from the Government. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[Bhanu Teja Maddula @mbteja]

Despite the assurance of 2015, bank employees still work on Saturdays; implement the promised 5-day banking to rectify this. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[Bhanu Teja Maddula @mbteja]

Bank employees are asking for fairness; the 5-day week is a commitment that must be honored and implemented. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[Bhanu Teja Maddula @mbteja]

Fairness demands that the 5-day week, including all Saturdays off, must be fulfilled as per the signed agreement in March 2024. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[Bhanu Teja Maddula @mbteja]

Current working conditions are exhausting; a 5-day banking week is necessary to ensure the well-being of bank employees. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[Bhanu Teja Maddula @mbteja]

The agreed 5-day banking offers the work-life balance that bank employees have long waited for, and it must be implemented. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[Bhanu Teja Maddula @mbteja]

Bank workers should not continuously wait for what has been agreed upon; let’s push for the prompt implementation of 5-day banking. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[Bhanu Teja Maddula @mbteja]

Each day without a 5-day week is a day of added stress for bank employees; the Government must act swiftly to change this. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[Bhanu Teja Maddula @mbteja]

As bank staff prepare for the strike on 28-30 September, the call for 5-day banking grows louder; implement it now! #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[Bhanu Teja Maddula @mbteja]

The implementation of the 5-day banking week should not be a distant hope; it must be realized without further delay. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[Bhanu Teja Maddula @mbteja]

We have already shown our determination through strikes; now it's time for the government to respond with action on 5-day banking. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[Bhanu Teja Maddula @mbteja]

Bank employees are still waiting for the Government to implement the 5-day banking week agreed upon by IBA in March 2024. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia
