Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The bankers of the state have come forward in support of the demands of trade union, said the general secretary of Madhya Pradesh Bank Employees Association VK Sharma on Friday.
The bankers in Bhopal are staging a protest meet on Friday evening in front of zonal office of UCO Bank before going on a two day strike on Monday and Tuesday in support of the trade unions.
The local bankers associated with the MBEA, All India Bank Employees Association, All India Bank Officers Association and Bank Employees Federation of India will gather in front of the bank to discuss the workplan of the strike they will hold to support the cause of the 10 trade unions in their 12-point demand, said Sharma.
He said the protest meet was held on Friday to discuss the agenda of the bankers that they wished to include with the traders' movement.
The bankers' strike on Monday and Tuesday across the nation would mean a four-day of no banking facility available for the customers.
Since this would be the fourth Saturday of the month, the banks would remain closed on Saturday and Sunday officially and then on Monday and Tuesday due to bankers' strike.
There are 300 bank branches in the capital city which will remain open on Monday and Tuesday but will not have staff to cater to the needs of the customers, added Sharma.
