The
United Forum of Bank Unions(UFBU) on Tuesday threatened to intensify their stir in
July and August against the 'meagre' two per cent salary hike, officials said. The bank employees had observed a two-day strike on
May 30 and 31 against the hike.
The United Federation of Bank Unions, the
umbrella organisation of nine bank unions, met here and congratulated the staff
for observing the two-day strike, general secretary of the federation CH
Venkatachalam said.
"It has been decided to further
continue the struggle with more strikes. Having regard to the need for an
amicable solution, it was decided to meet the higher authorities in the
government and the banks", he told PTI.
"However,
if no solution is forthcoming in these meetings, the United Forum of Bank
Unions will proceed and announce more agitations", he said. Meanwhile, a report from Tirupathi
quoted senior vice-president of the National Confederation of Bank Employees,
VVSR Sarma as saying that the bank staff would
intensify the stir in a phased manner in July and August to press for their
demands.
"Prior to intensifying our agitation, United Forum of Bank Unions decided
to submit a memorandum on the wage hike issue and other banking developmental
issues to finance minister Arun Jaitley by this month-end," he said.
