Hi John, here's what is needed over here--Indian bankers strike for higher pay. NEW DELHI, India, Feb. 25 (UPI) Banking services across India are at a standstill as 1.3 million bank employees begin a two-day strike to press their demand for higher wages. The strike is being called near total and the protesting employees staged demonstrations across the country to demand an 18-percent increase in their salaries. The government has offered a 10-percent hike. The business and industrial companies are estimated to loose $20 million since no money transactions will take place during the two-day strike. The bank employees have threatened to launch an indefinite strike beginning March 17 if their demands are not accepted. webcrawler.com
