SBI customers can take a sigh of relief as the bank had said that the strike will not affect its working as the majority of its employees are not members of the two unions.
Ten central trade unions -- INTUC, AITUC, HMS, CITU, AIUTUC, AICCTU, UTUC, TUCC, LPF and SEWA -- have also called for a nationwide general strike on January 8 and 9 against what they call "anti-people" policies of the Centre.
