They oppose these
United Forum of Bank Unions says that we oppose the micro-management of PSBs by DFS on policy matters, which affects the service conditions of employees and officers and weakens bilateralism. Also, we oppose outsourcing of permanent jobs in banks, unfair labor practices in the banking industry. Lakhs of bank employees across the country will join this strike. This may affect the functioning of banks. If you have important work, then finish it beforehand.
