Bank strike: Deferred temporarily, announces AIBEA



All India Bank Employees’ Association (AIBEA) has announced that it was temporarily deferring the nation-wide two-day bank strike on December 1 and 2.

However, with the intervention of the Mr. Choudhary, there were further deliberations and SBI/AB managements offered to hold bipartite meeting with SSBEA on December 3…Hence, it was decided to defer the strike temporarily
