Trade and industry are staring at major disruption as banks are set to remain shut for five consecutive days, with employee unions calling a three-day nationwide strike immediately after the weekend.
For bank employees, a five-day week is the principal unresolved demand. At present, bank branches are closed on the second and fourth Saturdays. The unions want all Saturdays to become holidays.
Nationwide 3-day bank strike from Sep 28 may disrupt core services; digital channels likely stay available and public banks most affected.
