Berhampur: The All-India State Bank Officers Federation (AISBOF) on Friday rejected the proposed 17.5 percent wage hike and pension benefits and demanded a separate wage revision for them.
"We do not agree with the proposed salary hike for bank
employees. The SBI employees demand that the increase should
be at par with the salary of the Central government
employees," AISBOF vice-president SK Haldar said here.
The Indian Banks Association (IBA) and United Federation
of Banking Unions (UFBU) representing nine bank employee
associations had agreed to the wage hike and pension benefits
after a prolonged discussion in Mumbai yesterday.
Haldar, who was here to attend the zonal conference of
the SBI Officers Association, said AISBOF will decide its
future course of action on Tuesday.
The three lakh SBI employees are ready for an indefinite
strike to demand a separate wage revision at par with Central
government employees, he added.
