SBI staff under the All India State Bank of India Staff Federation (AISBISF) have threatened to go on a two-day nationwide strike beginning May 25 to press for various demands.
The strike will affect SBI's banking operations for five days nationwide, as the fourth Saturday and Sunday fall before the strike date.
The union demands the recruitment of adequate employees, messengers, and Armed Guards, as well as a change of Pension Fund Manager option to NPS Employees.
They also demand the bank stop outsourcing permanent jobs, citing data leaks, misuse, fraud, and identity theft risks.
Another demand concerns the appointment of the Workmen's Employee Director on the board, which has been consistently ignored.
A conciliation meeting is scheduled on May 23 to reach a common ground and avoid the strike.
