Bank employees across the country will observe a three-day nationwide strike from September 28 to 30, UFBU Goa Convenor Santosh Haldankar said, demanding the immediate implementation of a five-day banking week and withdrawal of the Performance-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme.

Haldankar said the proposal for a five-day banking week was agreed upon and signed on March 8, 2024, but its implementation has been delayed for more than two years.

He said the unions would intensify their agitation if the demands are not addressed by the government.

According to Haldankar, bank employees will launch a continuous indefinite strike from October 26, 2026, if there is no resolution on the demands.
