SBI employees to go on two-day strike from Nov 25

Around 2.5 lakh employees of State Bank of India (SBI) will go on strike for two days from November 25 protesting against new pension scheme and demanding redressal of wage related issues.



"Around 2.5 lakh staffers of SBI including 80,000 officers will go on a two day strike from November 25 to protest against the new pension scheme and to press for redressal of wage related issues," General Secretary of All India State Bank Officers' Federation, G D Nadaf told reporters here.



He said they were opposed to the National Pension Scheme in SBI, adding that they want pension at the rate of 50 per cent of the last drawn pay, without ceiling.



We want that our long pending wage related issues to be sorted out, Nadaf added.



He said they were opposed to financial penalty for error in opening of bank accounts. "We are opposed to this system where we have to pay Rs 100 for an error in opening account," he said.



He warned to go on an indefinite strike from the last week of December this year, if their demands were not met.
