All India Strike
Called by UFGBU around a twelve-point charter, including a uniform transfer policy after consolidation and withdrawal of disinvestment proposals. Unit-wise participation reports are being compiled.
What members should know
Participation is a decision each member makes. What the unit can do is make sure you make it with the facts, and that nobody is singled out afterwards.
Conciliation is part of the method
A strike notice opens a door. In June 2026 a proposed one-day strike at a neighbouring Gramin Bank was withdrawn after a marathon conciliation before the Regional Labour Commissioner, with the demands settled at the table. That outcome is the point of the notice, not a retreat from it.
