Opposing the BJP-led Union Government’s policies on new labour law, privatisation of public sector undertakings and other anti-people policies, the Joint Committee of Trade Union (JCTU) has given a call for a two-day nationwide general strike on Monday and Tuesday.
Addressing presspersons in Kalaburagi on Friday, district secretaries of AIUTUC Prabhudev Yelsanghi and S.M. Sharma said that the BJP-led government at the Centre has brought the livelihood of the people and the country’s economy on the brink of disaster.
Mr. Yelsanghi said that the trade union’s 12-point charter of demands included scrapping the four labour codes and national monetisation pipeline and doing away with privatisation in any form.
