 "AIBEA defers June 24 bank strike; PSU banks to work normal")
The June 24 strike called by AIEB in support of various demands of the State Sector Bank Employees Association (SSBEA) was deferred today and public sectors banks would continue working as usual.
SSBEA, under its umbrella, has various unions of associate banks of State Bank of India (SBI) -- State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur, State Bank of Travancore, State Bank of Patiala, State Bank of Mysore and State Bank of Hyderabad -- which are also associated with AIBEA.
The nation-wide one-day strike was called to protest against the "anti-associate" banks approach of the SBI management.
