Banks all over the country will observe a day's strike on August 24 in protest against the delay in settlement of wage negotiations.
"Indian Banks Association (the bank management body) has been demonstrating a rigid and unreasonable attitude in the wage negotiations and endeavouring hard to delay the wage settlement", the Delhi convenor of United Forum of Bank Unions V K Gupta said in a statement.
UFBU, the umbrella group of nine bank unions, will also hold mass rallies outside various banks in New Delhi, the statement said.
The bank unions are holding lunch hour demonstrations from Thursday, Gupta said.
Gupta said the strike call for August 9, given by State Bank of India has been deferred.
