Look at the difference between the sal of central govt and we bankers. ThE lowest wage for govt employment is 18000 where as lowest wage for us bankers is 5400. Newly recruited officer will be drawing 51000 but we bankers would pay only 31000. Why is there a huge difference in these wages? There was a time when people left central govt jobs and joined banks as the pay here was more. What has happened to us ? Where are we heading ? When the lowest salary for central govt job is 18000 which is merely 3000 less than what a newly joined clerk in banks would draw is just mind-boggling. Where did we loose track?
UFBU.... thats were we went wrong..
We are the labours don't compare with the officers of state and central government.
When will Bank employees gratuity be enhanced to 20 lakhs
