“If the strike materialises, a section of the Bank’s employees may take part in the proposed strike on the said date, in which case, the normal functioning of the branches/ offices of the bank may get affected,” public sector lender Indian Bank said in a statement.
Nearly one million employees are likely to go on strike Tuesday as most of the unions have supported it.
The trade unions which are supporting the strike include Congress-affiliated Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC) Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M)-affiliated Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU), the All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC) and the Hind Mazdoor Sabha (HMS).
