Bank Strikes

The employees should adopt alternate methods of protest like attending office with black badge. They may also hold protest meetings outside office hours.

Yes govt.should take necessary steps to solve the problem as soon as possible.Because we people had to suffer for these.

It's simple blackmail in its most unacceptable form. Nationalized banks are the most poorly managed banks as their financial health would indicate. NPAs are on an alarming rise requiring regular recapitalization form taxpayers' money but all their employees are smugly and blissfully unaware of it!!

The first day of banks strike saw loss of business worth 30 thousands crores, if we take into account the entire direct and indirect loss incured due to such strikes then that would be an eye opener, but who cares!

It's not applicable for private banks.....
Many job addict employees of private banks will be happy, as they can work for 2 days.

But I have read through newspapers.....
Now, it's festival season in Kerala. So, it's affecting normal people a lot. Also, ATMs of main cities are almost empty now.

In these days strikes are archaic and out of sync with today's environment. Keep in mind that all these employees are well-paid and they are not factory hands of privately-owned companies!!

What I feel that whenever they want an undue holiday on mass scale along with hikes and other benefits, they choose to go on strike. government should deal them firmly although the government would never do that.

I don't know why Private banks never go for strikes!!!

It's the problem of our country to go on strikes even for unnecessary things, If they don't have job threat.

I didn't read the news, but just got to know that there will be 2 days of strike. Why this strike happened? what was the reason behind the strike?

This cannot be undue holiday on mass scale. The employees throughout India are not to attend a single function and as such they need not strike. actually they are striking for certain demands. They fear that government aims at reorganization, merger/ demerger of banks and this may affect their employment prospects- promotion avenues or retrenchment.

But strike is not desirable. There are other ways to protest.

If you go in the history of bank strikes carefully, you would find that whenever there is a long weekend or a few holidays in a row, they call for strike. This time this was three days in a row due to Eid so they planned 2 additional days.

I have noticed, most Harthaals and bandhs come on Tuesdays. Is it true???

From Today that is 22nd and 23rd August bank will remain closed.Many people had to suffer regarding the strike.Our country had to undergo heavy loss.

30000 crores lost. I read it from newspaper

They never think about it as it will be held on them and us in the form of taxes.

I am doubtful about such loss calculation. strike only delays work but does not reduce the volume of transactions or work loaf any way. Business transactions are not reduced by these strikes. Ultimately all cheques are cleared and transactions are more when bank opens. So, today there will be big rush in banks. The bank staff will have to work extra for the work load but will get no salary for days or strike. This will benefit the banks. Although there should be no overall loss, there is definitely inconvenience to people. There should be alternative way of protest.

As the net banking services also not worked for some banks that two days.

Now strikes are over and banks are working normally. Isn't it?

My husband is working in HDFC Bank. He told, all the branches of main town Thrissur were closed yesterday due to protests from bank association. We really wonder why, though strike is for public sector banks, why it's affecting private banks. :dry: :whistle:

They wish to show their unity in such matters and the extra leaves is good enough reason for Indians. We have more holidays than working days. We love that.

You see there are two schools of thought in India
1- finish your work on time with full responsibility and go home timely- Tata school
2- Linger on, keep pending work by not working in working hours and do it in off time to show as if you are big worker, ttah is known as Birla school.
