NEW DELHI: Employees of nationalised banks on Friday went on a day-long nationwide strike to oppose the proposed merger of associate banks with the State Bank of India disrupting normal function of the banking sector.

United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU), apex union of bank employees, claimed that over 10 lakh employees and officers are observing strike to press their demands.

"Normal banking transactions have been disrupted across 50,000 branches all over the country," UFBU General Secretary V K Gupta said.

UFBU, comprising nine all-India unions and organisation, has been opposing merger of SBI's associate banks with the parent financial lender and outsourcing of work.

Earlier during the week, the conciliation meeting held in the office of Chief Labour Commission between Indian Banks Association and the employee association failed to yield any positive result.

Besides, the union has been demanding second pension option, appointment on compassionate ground and early settlement on wage revision.

What Would Bill Gates Do?

http://money.cnn.com/2008/01/24/news/international/kirk...

Why is Gates saying "In many crucial areas, the world is getting better...but it's not getting better fast enough, and it's not getting better for everyone"/"This is a worldwide movement, and we all have the ability and responsibility to accelerate it"?



Odd. CNN deleted their link. I wonder why...

4. I worked for a bank years ago and we tried to organize
the intimidation of employees was horrendous. Needless to say, we failed.
