Regional rural banks' staff to go on strike
on June 8
Close to 70,000 officers and employees at 82 regional
rural banks (RRBs) across the country will go on strike
on June 8.Some of the key demands of these
employees working across 17,000 branches of RRBs
include parity of pension, formation of National Rural
Bank of India, regularisation and absorption of
part-time workers in RRBs.According to Mr Dilip Kumar
Mukherjee, Secretary General, All India Regional Rural
Bank Employees' Association (AIRRBEA), the
employees have also been demanding for the
withdrawal of government order on HR policy and
representation of workman and officers in the board of
management."In spite of the specific direction of the
Supreme Court to extend parity of wage structure to
the RRB staff, more specifically by the Karnataka High
Court and the Rajasthan High Court to extend parity of
pension benefits, the Union Government has not yet
extended the benefit of pension to the RRB staff," said
a press statement issued by AIRRBEA.
