Bank unions in India are campaigning for a five-day work week, citing the government's commitment in the March 2024 Bipartite Settlement and the digital transformation of banking. Unions argue that with 99% of transactions handled digitally via UPI, mobile banking, and ATMs, a six-day week is outdated. They highlight record bank profits and widespread employee burnout, stating that a five-day week is a matter of justice, not a luxury, and that the Indian Banks' Association has already agreed to the change.
