Bank strike from Sept 28-30: Why are employees demanding 5-day work week and pension tweak?

Bank unions (UFBU) plan a 3-day strike (Sept 28-30) demanding a five-day banking week and pension reforms. Banks will stay open on Sept 27 (Sunday) to offset disruption. Strike coincides with half-yearly closing on Sept 30, a key date for provisioning and treasury operations.
