Indian bank staff strike work but people able to draw money

Indian bank staff strike work but people able to draw money

New Delhi, Dec 16: Banking operations across the country were affected on Wednesday, as an estimated 450,000 workers of state-run and private banks proceeded on a daylong strike, although people were able to withdraw money from automated teller machines.

The All India Bank Employees’ Association (AIBEA) and the All India Bank Officers’ Association (AIBOA) called the strike to protest moves to consolidate the operations of state-run banks. Their talks with the government had failed on Tuesday.
