Maharashtra Bank Employees Avert Strike After Government Assurances
Bank employees in Maharashtra have deferred their planned strike, scheduled for November 16th, following assurances from the state government. The employees had threatened industrial action over concerns regarding their safety while implementing the ambitious ‘Ladki Bahin’ scheme. The scheme aims to provide a cash transfer of ₹1,500 to eligible women, leading to large crowds at bank branches. The United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) issued a statement confirming the deferral after the government committed to enhancing security measures for bank employees involved in the scheme’s rollout. District Collectors and Police Commissioners will now prioritize the safety of bank staff, ensuring a smoother and safer implementation of the ‘Ladki Bahin’ initiative. The averted strike prevents potential disruption to the crucial social welfare program.
