New Delhi: Finding common cause with the Central Trade Unions in the nationwide strike on January 8, thousands of bank employees are set to go on a day-long agitation to protest against the government's decision to merge public sector banks. If what employee unions are saying is to be believed, a total of 2.5 crore people across India will be on strike to protest against government policies with respect to the PSU sector.

Strike notices have been served by All India Bank Employees Association (AlBEA), All India Bank Officers Association (AIBOA), Bank Employees Federation of India (BEFI), Indian National Bank Employees Federation (INBEF) and Indian National Bank Officers Congress (INBOC).
