The United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) is set to go on a strike this week which will last two days. During this period, the services of several big banks like SBI, PNB, and others will be affected, according to the official statements posted on their social media handles.

The UFBU will go on a strike for two days this week, from December 16. The union is going on strike to protest against the government's plan to privatise public sector banks. “Privitising PSBs will hurt the priority sector of the economy and also credit flow to self-help groups and to rural economy,” said Sanjay Dar, general secretary of All India Bank Officers Confederation (AIBOC), as per PTI.

During this time, the banking services of several big banks in India are likely to be affected across the nation. Banks such as State Bank of India and Punjab National Bank have made this announcement on their Twitter handles, urging their employees to reconsider their decision of going on strike.
