Bank Union Announces Strike Action
UCO Bank has officially informed stakeholders about a strike notice issued by the United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU). This collective body, comprising seven major bank unions including AIBEA, AIBOC, NCBE, AIBOA, BEFI, INBOC, and INBEF, has declared its intention to proceed on strike on specified dates concerning several pending issues and demands.
Strike Schedule and Potential Impact
The proposed strike action is slated to begin on September 11, 2026 (though this date appears to be a placeholder or error in the original document, as subsequent dates are more specific to the described strike). The primary strike period is scheduled from September 28, 2026, to September 30, 2026. Following this, a continuous strike is planned to commence from October 26, 2026. The bank has stated that while necessary steps are being taken to ensure the continuity of its operations, the functioning of UCO Bank’s branches and offices may be affected if the strike materializes.
