The National Organisation of Bank Officers (NOBO) today called a nationwide strike on January 7 demanding pay parity and revision for bank employees, a senior official said.
National General Secretary of NOBO, S U Deshpandey today said that employees affiliated to NOBO were getting very low pay and emoluments as compared to the Central Government employees' pay as per the sixth pay commission.
Besides existing poor pay range, the benefits of pension to dependents after death of employees and other pension matters are still unresolved and disparity continues as compared to the central government pay structures, he said.
Hence NOBO would go on one day strike this Wednesday and if demands were not met, the bankers would again go on strike from January 21-24, and then on March 16, he added.
