Bank Strike On November 19, Bank Strike News, Bank Holidays in November: The All India Bank Employees Association (AIBEA) has called for a nationwide bank strike on November 19. The move is expected to affect banking services across the country on Saturday. The AIBEA has decided to go ahead with the proposed strike as the association claims that the talks with Indian Banks' Association (IBA) remained inconclusive.
"In the absence of any concrete and positive developments warranting reconsideration of the strike, it has been decided to go ahead with the strike. Hence all our units and members are requested to go ahead and make the strike a success," the association said in a statement.

According to AIBEA, the nationwide strike has been called to raise the issues of attacks on jobs and job security.
"We reiterated our issues and demands arising out of the various unilateral decisions in violation of the existing provisions of Bipartite Settlement in some of the banks and the attacks on jobs and job security and vindictive actions in some other banks," the statement reads.
