Review - Strike of Supervisory Staff in the State Bank of India

Abstract

In this book Professors Ishwar Dayal and Baldev Sharma have presented a detailed diagnosis of the strike of supervisory employees to the State Bank of India. The strike, as the authors point out, was unique in more ways than one. First, it was a strike by those employees who are usually regarded as part of the management. Secondly, it was the first prolonged strike by white collar employees, and finally after the strike dissolved the parties agreed to amicable settlements of mutual problems without wasting time in needless recriminations.
