Similarly, the organised labour in financial sector, under the aegis of Association of Senior Staff of Banks, Insurance  and Financial Institutions Employees (ASSBIFI) and the National Union of Banks, Insurance and Financial Institution Employees (NUBIFIE) have also expressed fear over further looming collapse of food in the country.
