Bank officers’ union AIBOC on Thursday threatened to go on a nationwide strike on February 24-25 to press for their demands, including a five-day work week and adequate recruitment in all cadres.

Besides, the union has demanded immediate withdrawal of the recent directives of the Department of Financial Services (DFS) on performance review and PLI, which threaten job security and create division amongst employees.

It further pitched to fill the post of workmen/officer directors in public sector banks and resolution of pending residual issues with IBA.

In a statement, All India Bank Officers' Confederation (AIBOC) said it has been proposed by the executive committee to go for a two-day nationwide strike, tentatively scheduled for February 24-25, 2025.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
