Subsequent to the failure of the discussions held regarding the wage revision, the Bank Employees’ Union has announced that they will go on strike as planned on 30th and 31st May.

The last agreement regarding wages concluded in October 2017. So, the revised wages are due from November 2017. Several rounds of discussions were held regarding this wage revision between the bank administrators and the bank employees’ union.

The Bank administration took a decision on revision of wages to be up only by 2% citing the reason of the unpaid/unrecovered debts given by the banks. The Unions did not agree.

Following this, the Federation of the bank employees’ union has announced that the employees will go on strike from tomorrow and the day-after (30th and 31st May).
