Bank strike for work life balance on 27 January seems successful. United Forum of Bank Unions called it — demand 5-day week for banks.
Last such strike brought industry to halt on Dec 15-16, 2021 on different issues of wage settlement, 5 day banking & outsourcing of bank work.

In lieu of 28 Saturday off in a year bankers have proposed and agreed to work 10000 minutes extra in a year .
Still government not honouring bipartite and joint note agreement dated 08/03/24 .
27 /01/26 strike is forced upon us by the government going back on its own commitment.
Switching to a 5-day work week gives banks the chance to innovate and improve their services without compromising on quality. #Implement5DayBanking https://t.co/XnuydLxhhs
India’s bankers demand dignity.Implement 5-Day Banking now.Productivity improves, service quality strengthens, and work–life balance becomes sustainable—burnout does not build nations. In modern economies, governments measure outcomes, not exhausted hours.
It’s time for real reform, not press releases.
