Bank employees' unions threaten to go on nationwide strike on Jan 27

Bank employees' unions under the United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) have threatened a nationwide strike on January 27, demanding a five-day work week. With January 25 and 26 as holidays, public sector banks may face three days of disruption. "There would be no loss of man-hours because we...agreed to an extra 40 minutes working per day," UFBU said.
