The All India Bank of Baroda Officers’ Union (AIBOBOU), affiliated with the All India Bank Officers’ Association (AIBOA), held its Extended Central Committee Meeting on October 11, 2025, at Merchant Gymkhana, Vashi, Navi Mumbai.
The meeting lasted a full day and discussed important issues related to the morale, service conditions, and welfare of officers working in public sector banks. A series of resolutions were unanimously adopted to address these concerns.
