Non-recruitment of employees, particularly the clerical cadre, is impacting the functioning of the public sector banks severely, says C.H. Venkatachalam, general secretary of All India Bank Employees’ Association (AIBEA).
Mr. Venkatachalam, who was in the city to attend the on-going 26th all-India conference of Canara Bank Employees’ Union, told the media on August 13 (Sunday) that more than two lakh posts were vacant in the banks.
“The AIBEA will take a decision in this regard. We will go on strike in September demanding that the government take up recruitment in the banks,” Mr. Venkatachalam said, adding, “If need be, we will go on indefinite strike to save the banking system and oppose privatisation of the banks.”
