United Forum of Bank Unions Supports Indian Overseas Bank’s Officers’ Strike

The United Forum of Bank Unions, representing bank employees and officers, has issued a communication to the Indian Overseas Bank’s managing director regarding the agitational call given by the Indian Overseas Bank Officers Association and the All India Strike on 2nd March, 2026. The Forum also requested the management to resolve the officer’s legitimate demand and concern.

The Forum highlighted the importance of the bank officers, saying that they play an important role in the bank’s daily routine operations, promoting business development and helping the bank progress. The forum said that as the recognized trade union for officers, the union’s concerns, demands, and complaints should be heard and addressed through two-way communication and cooperation.

The forum also mentioned the recent actions by the bank’s management, who forcibly locked the union’s premises to threaten and scare the officers. It said that these steps will ruin the industrial relations, rather than fixing the issues.

Therefore, in the communication, the forum requested Shri Ajay Kumar Srivastava, managing director and CEO of Indian Overseas Bank, to consider the matter and resolve the concerns and demands of the association.

It also stated that it would fully support the officers’ strike, and it expressed its solidarity through the fraternal programs if the issues are not fixed.
