Central Trade Unions have given the call for All India General Strike on the 12th February, 2026. AIBEA has welcomed this call and has given the call for all our members to join this strike.
Is it true that only some central trade unions have given this call?
No. There are 11 Central Trade Unions in our country. Out of these 11 CTUs, 10 Central Trade Unions belonging to all political hues and views have given this call for strike. Only one Central Trade Union, namely, BMS – Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh has not given the call.

Today’s Strike a massive success Red Salute to all our unions and members
Congratulations to all our unions and members all over the country for the massive success of the strike at the call of UFBU to protest against the undue delay in approving the recommendations of the IBA on introduction of 5 Days Banking per week as agreed in the MOU dated 7-12-2023 and Settlement dated 8-3-2024 and demanding expeditious introduction of 5 days banking.

Further to our earlier communications and discussions on various occasions, we once again wish to impress upon you the need for convening the IR Policy Committee meeting, the last of which was held on 4th September, 2024.
In the earlier meeting it was agreed to resume the discussion on the undermentioned leftover issues on which we had substantial rounds of discussions but did not arrive at conclusion. At that time, it was mutually decided on priority to initiate discussions on review of Promotion Policy which was felt necessary for the administration. Review of Promotion Policy was completed on 5th November, 2024. Hence the other issues were kept in abeyance with an assurance to take up at the earliest opportunity.

Joint Appeal – Resist 100% FDI in Insurance Sector
The Union Finance Minister Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman tabled the Insurance Laws (Amendment) Bill 2025 today in the Lok Sabha. The Bill has been deceptively titled “The Sabka Bima Sabki Raksha (Amendment of Insurance Laws) Bill 2025”. The Government has deployed pro-people rhetoric to legitimize a policy that essentially undermines public interest.
