If salary of striking period was really deducted, then why Bank of India running away from providing information

Who's protesting

The two-day strike on December 16 and 17 was called by the United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU). UFBU is an umbrella body of nine unions, including AIBOC, All India Bank Employees Association (AIBEA) and National Organisation of Bank Workers (NOBW).

Why?

The union wants the govt not to table the Bank Privatisation Bill (Banking Laws Amendment Bill, 2021) during this session of the Parliament. The government had in Budget 2021-22 announced its intent to take up privatisation of two public sector banks (PSBs) during the year. 

Impact
Most public sector banks will remain closed on Thursday and Friday. Since the following two days are weekends, these PSBs will remain shut for transactions for four days in a row. Most of the banks, including State Bank of India (SBI), have already cautioned their customers about the strike's possible impact on banking operations like cheque clearance and fund transfer.

Cheques valuing around Rs 37,000 crore have been held up due to the strike,

क्या आपको पता है कि निजीकरण के खिलाफ़ बैंक कर्मियों ने हड़ताल करने के लिए दो दिन की सैलरी कटाई है. बैंकरों ने एक दिन की तीन-तीन हज़ार की सैलरी कटाई है. सभी कर्मचारियों ने दो दिनों की हड़ताल के लिए कितनी सैलरी कटाई है, हमें कुल राशि का हिसाब नहीं मिल सका लेकिन कुछ लोगों ने अनुमान के आधार पर बताया कि कम से कम एक हज़ार करोड़ तो दो दिन के कट ही जाएंगे. इसके पहले भी दो दिनों की हड़ताल में सैलरी कटी थी. तो क्या चार दिनों की हड़ताल के लिए बैंकरों ने दो हज़ार करोड़ का वेतन कटाया?

हड़ताल के लिए बैंकरों ने कटाया अपना वेतन, करोड़ों की सैलरी कटा रोक पाएंगे निजीकरण
