SL bank workers protest over plans to privatise state banks
Members of the Ceylon Bank Employees Union branch of the People’s Bank on Tuesday protested outside its headquarters in Colombo Fort urging the government to refrain from privatising the bank.
The union alleged that attempts were being made to outsource certain divisions of the bank with the aim of preparing the groundwork towards the privatisation of the giant state-owned commercial bank.
Last year on December 15th the union had protested against the transfer of the Data System (DS) of the bank to Sri Lanka Telecom. Union officials allege that, in the latest move, the Disaster Recovery (DR) department of the bank is planned to be sold to Dialog Axiata. (Raj)
