IDBI Bank Employees Seek Protection Amid Privatization

The IDBI Bank SC, ST and OBC Employees Forum has asked the President of India, the government, and the bank's management to protect the jobs and rights of thousands of SC/ST/OBC employees.

They are worried about the bank's possible privatization or merger, which could lead to job losses.

The forum wants these employees to be absorbed into other public sector banks or units with the same benefits and protections.

They also want a law to ensure that reservation protections continue for these employees even if the bank is privatized.

The forum believes that IDBI Bank has been an important part of inclusive banking and nation-building, and these employees represent the government's vision for equality and opportunity.
