Eleven major trade unions have called a nationwide general strike for
February 28, a day before the Union budget for 2012-13 is presented in
Parliament, demanding steps to curb the soaring prices of essential
items, to protect employment and to enforce the labour laws strictly.
Interestingly, the Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC),
affiliated to the Congress, the Labour Progressive Front (LPF) of the
Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), a major ally of the ruling UPA, and the
Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS) of the Bharatiya Janata Party, will also
join the strike.
Hartal against policies
This is the first time since Independence that trade unions have got
together to call a ‘hartal' against the policies of the Central
government, said All-India Trade Union Congress general secretary and
CPI MP Gurudas Dasgupta, a signatory to the resolution adopted at a
joint meeting of trade unions recently.
The agitation would also highlight the cause of those in the unorganised
sector and press for the enforcement of the Minimum Wages Act, the
removal of the ceiling on bonus and pension and assured pension for all
classes of employees.
Thanks to The Hindu
Remember Comrades,
AIIEA Secretariat had already given a Call to
Join this Strike.
Be Prepared for a Massive Action
