Overview
- The Sindicato Nacional de Trabajadores del Banco de la Nación announced a national strike after conciliation with the Ministry of Labor ended without progress on Tuesday.
- The union lists sharp pay disparities as a central grievance, saying front-line staff earn about S/1,800 while some managers make S/11,000–S/15,000 and certain productivity bonuses reach S/40,000–S/50,000.
- SINATBAN also objects to last-minute or discretionary 'nombramientos a dedo' in the bank’s payroll and to operational and security problems such as missing cameras at ATMs and basic service failures in provincial branches.
- The union has called for peaceful, organized protests and told members it will announce specific mobilization dates soon.
- Banco de la Nación has not issued guidance on branch operations, leaving service continuity for retirees and low-income users unclear and raising the chance of rapid government or contingency responses.
