Banks are set to remain open on Sunday as customers’ convenience measures before a proposed three-day strike, with services disrupted later in the period. The strike is called by the United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU), which it says represents about 90% of the banking workforce.
Sources report that the industrial action starts on September 28 and is expected to run for three days. UFBU’s primary demand is a shift to a five-day banking week, alongside other related requests. The outlets note that Sunday operations are being maintained even though a nationwide strike is proposed, helping customers access banking services before the work stoppage begins.
Across the reports, the core details match: the same union, the same reported representation claim, the start date for the strike, the three-day duration, and the top demand for a five-day banking week. The emphasis differs slightly, with coverage focusing on the customer-facing decision to keep banks open on Sunday.
