CENTRAL TRADE UNIONS DECIDE TO CONTINUE ACTION AGAINST CENTRAL AND STATE GOVTS. ANTI-LABOUR POLICIES
All India Protest Day on 10th March, 2016 on 12 point charter
New Delhi: All the Central Trade Unions met on 27th January
2016 and resolved to continue their protest action against the anti
labour policies of the Central and some State Govts. Central Trade Unions decided to observe 10th March, 2016 as All India Protest Day against Govt. indifference to the 12 point charter of demands and its unwillingness to restart discussions for working out concrete steps for resolution of the issues.
The Central Trade Unions reviewed the drastically deteriorating conditions
of work and life of the working people and govt. going ahead with
labour law amendments, disinvestment of PSUs and allowing FDI in
strategic sectors. The Govt., it appears, does not want to wait for
legislating these anti worker labour law amendments, it is taking away
rights of workers by way of executive orders and directing state govts
to carry out such pro-management amendments. The trade unions condemned
one such directive issued by the Secretary, Ministry of Labour and
Employment, Govt. of India on this 12th January granting
exemption to so called start up enterprises from inspection and
application of 9 major labor law legislations, thereby legitimizing the
violations.
The
Central Trade Unions took note of and extend solidarity to the sectoral
struggles of workers/employees in Banks, Defence, Coal, Port and Docks
and Telecommunications sectors, the anganwadi workers on their
respective demands and also the Central Govt. employees including Railways resolve to launch action against retrograde recommendations of 7th Central Pay Commission. They
also expressed their serious concern over extremely harsh punishment of
“double life imprisonment” given by the Court to eight workers of
Pricol Ltd., Coimbatore and appealed to all workers to extend help and
solidarity.
The
Central Trade Unions also decided to organize massive National
Convention of Workers in Talkatora Stadium, New Delhi in the last week
of March, 2016 to decide about the next course of united action
programme.
Fight
against anti labour policies will continue. The Central Trade Unions
directed its constituents to prepare jointly for protest action on 10th March,
2016. They also appealed to independent employees/workers/unions and
federations to participate in the protest action against the offensive
of the Govt. against workers and common people.
