Historical background
With inclusion as its main foundation, this union was formed on the 13th of Shrawan, 2070, to fulfill and ensure the rights and interests of the employees working in Nepal Bank Limited. This union was born out of struggle and had to face many ups and downs to reach today’s situation. Because of the immense love, respect, and support of Nepal Bank Limited’s justice-loving employees, we have succeeded in maintaining our existence by facing every situation. We cannot forget that even in very difficult circumstances, the sacrifice and penance of our founding friends were sacrificial.
This union, formed with Mr. Prakash Lal Joshi as the founding president, was registered in the labor office on 2070/07/07 B.S., but due to the obstruction and opposition of other trade unions, it was declined to be registered by the labor office through the letter referenced with 875/070/071 dated 2070/08/28 B.S. Against the decision of the labor office, a case was filed in the labor office by the chairman, Mr. Prakash Lal Joshi, dated 03/01/071 B.S. In this way, the tireless efforts and hard work of other officials like Mr. Ravinath Shrestha, Mrs. Sarita Amatya, Mr. Gopalkrishna Dangol, and others will remain unforgettable and valuable to us. Also, we will never forget the sacrificial contributions of our friends who have committed to this union since its inception, even in difficult situations. This way, we were conferred with a trade union registration certificate with registration no 3387 after a lengthy litigation process. In this way, all the employees got justice from the labor court for the protection of their rights and interests and the development of the trade union.
After the union’s registration, we renewed it again on 17th Shravan 2074 due to the tireless efforts of the officials and members of the working committee, which was reconstituted at different times. Even after that, we had to work tirelessly to maintain the union’s credit. We are again in the process of renewal to keep the union’s historical values intact.
