印度IDBI银行60.72%股权出售引罢工：员工两日罢工结束、工会要求暂停交易并接受议会审查
新德里——印度 IDBI 银行员工为期两天的全国罢工11月3日结束。这场由 IDBI 官员与员工联合论坛发起的行动，抗议的是印度政府把该行60.72%股权出售给加拿大 Fairfax 金融控股旗下公司的决定；工会称交易低估了银行价值，要求暂停整个出售程序、公开估值方法，并由议会联合委员会调查。工会核心委员会定于11月10日开会决定下一步行动，可能寻求全印银行工会联合论坛的支持、扩大抗争。
这笔交易于10月14日获印度内阁经济事务委员会批准：政府持有的30.48%股权与印度人寿保险公司（LIC）持有的30.24%股权，合计60.72%，将售予 Fairfax 旗下 10955230 Canada Inc.，对价约52,878亿卢比（约合55亿美元），被视为印度银行业迄今最大的一笔外国投资。交易完成后，政府与 LIC 合计仍保留约34%股份。中央工会联合平台11月1日发表声明，全力支持罢工与绝食抗议，要求立即暂停撤资程序、启动独立限时调查并接受议会审查；反对党国大党发言人 Jairam Ramesh 则称这笔交易是「骗局」，要求叫停。
印度投资与公共资产管理部（DIPAM）秘书 Arunish Chawla 10月24日曾表示，股份购买协议明确保护现有员工的服务条件与养老金承诺。交易预计在本财政年度内完成，但仍须获得印度储备银行等监管机构的批准。
Sale of 60.72% of India's IDBI Bank Sparks Strike: Two-Day Walkout Ends as Unions Demand Halt and Parliamentary Scrutiny
New Delhi — A two-day nationwide strike by employees of India's IDBI Bank ended on November 3. The walkout, called by the United Forum of IDBI Officers and Employees, protested the Indian government's decision to sell a 60.72 percent stake in the bank to a subsidiary of Canada's Fairfax Financial Holdings. The unions say the deal undervalues the bank and are demanding that the sale be halted, the valuation methodology disclosed, and the process investigated by a joint parliamentary committee. The forum's core committee is to meet on November 10 to decide its next steps, which could include seeking the support of the broader United Forum of Bank Unions and widening the agitation.
The transaction was approved on October 14 by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs: the government's 30.48 percent stake and the 30.24 percent held by the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), together 60.72 percent, will be sold to Fairfax's 10955230 Canada Inc. for about 52,878 crore rupees (about US$5.5 billion), in what is seen as the largest foreign investment in an Indian bank to date. The government and LIC will retain a combined stake of about 34 percent. The Joint Platform of Central Trade Unions said on November 1 that it fully supported the strike and hunger strike, demanding an immediate suspension of the disinvestment process, an independent time-bound investigation and parliamentary scrutiny. Congress party spokesman Jairam Ramesh called the transaction a scam and demanded it be stopped.
Arunish Chawla, secretary of the Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM), said on October 24 that the share purchase agreement explicitly protects existing employees' service conditions and pension commitments. The deal is expected to close by the end of the current fiscal year, subject to regulatory clearances including from the Reserve Bank of India.
