Public Sector Banks are the backbone of India's equitable growth. #UnitedWeStand We demand: ✅ Adequate recruitment & regularization of temporary staff ✅ A 5-day work week for bankers ✅ Safety & dignity at workplaces ✅ Opposing outsourcing ✅opposing micromanagement &

The government should address the demands of bankers, who play a crucial role in social banking, financial inclusion, and driving economic growth in the country.

#UnitedWeStand

Public Sector Banks removed minimum balance charges to promote inclusion. Private Banks still demand ₹10,000–₹50,000 to keep an account active. If banking becomes private, how does the Govt believe financial inclusion will survive?

Big bank supporters say they offer greater exposure. But when consortium lending already provides large, diversified exposure, promoting big banks will only reduce branches, cut permanent jobs and shrink PSBs’ business share.

New labour codes apply only to establishments with 300+ employees. Firms with up to 299 workers can now retrench without govt approval — leaving workers without protection from unions or the law. These codes further erode the limited safeguards workers currently have.

The approval of five-day banking is a long-pending demand. The Government must recognise and approve this legitimate demand of the workforce that constitutes the backbone of India’s financial system. #5DayBankingNow

One key driver of inequality is unequal access to education and opportunities for skill development. It keeps rich and poor unequal over time, passing these gaps on to future generations. Inequality in human capital runs far deeper than we often acknowledge.

UFBU is focused on securing a FIVE DAY work week, an issue of vital importance to the Banking Workforce. Let us make every organisational programme a Grand Success, as this momentum is key to achieving FIVE DAY Banking.

A 5-day banking week encourages innovation and creativity within banks, leading to better customer services and solutions. #Implement5DayBanking

Policy makers talk about productivity while forcing burnout on bank employees. Hypocrisy won’t run a modern economy. Act with responsibility. Approve the 5-day banking week. #Approve5DayBankingNow

Bank employees are the backbone of India’s financial system—powering inclusion, safeguarding stability, and enabling growth. Yet, they are still denied a humane work–life balance. A 5-day work week in banking is not a “perk”; #BankersDemand5DayWeek

Agreement reached. Settlement signed. Only implementation is pending. Deliver on commitments. #5DaysWeekForBankers

The Budget prioritizes manufacturing and capex, but offers no clear roadmap for job creation. Education, health, nutrition, and social security remain under-funded, with no meaningful measures to address farmers’ income distress.
