Shillong, Nov 13: The Meghalaya Bank Employees’ Association (MBEA) will hold its 12th conference on Saturday.
Delegates and representatives of bank employees from different units across Meghalaya will attend to review the activities and achievements of the association since its last conference on November 25, 2023, and discuss the challenges confronting the banking industry and its employees.
The inaugural session will be inaugurated by CH Venkatachalam, General Secretary, All India Bank Employees’ Association (AIBEA). It will also be attended by Ravi Kumar, General Secretary, All India Co-operative Bank Employees Federation (AICBEF), and Gaurav Sharma, Joint Secretary, AIBEA and General Secretary, APBEF and Osmond Nongbri, Managing Director, Meghalaya Co-operative Apex Bank.
The conference comes at a time when the banking sector is undergoing major changes, with growing concerns over privatisation, bank mergers, increasing workload, mounting pressure on employees, staff shortages, outsourcing and deteriorating working conditions.
The association said it will reaffirm its commitment to safeguarding public sector banking, strengthening cooperative banking, protecting the rights and interests of bank employees, and ensuring banking continues to serve the common people rather than being driven solely by profit.
