The
meeting of the Central Trade Unions held on 22nd February 2018 at
INTUC Office New Delhi expressed indignation and strongly condemned the Government
of the day for their intensified attack on the lives and livelihood of the
people and seriously compromising the national interest.
Attack
on working class centering around dismantling labour laws designed to
completely casualise employment conditions through various routes like amending
Contract Labour Act, introducing Fixed Term Employment etc has assumed
aggressive height. Further it is noted that the Government is out to erase the
public sector from the industrial map of the country. Specific cases of
attack on privatization of railways, opening coal mining to private and foreign
companies without any restriction whatsoever, mass scale privatization as well
as destruction of defence production network through widespread outsourcing,
thereby dismantling the almost half of the ordinance factories are
some of the examples of the gross anti-people and anti-national actions of the
Govt. Accumulation of huge non-performing assets of the public sector banks
arising out of pilferage of bank-funds by deliberately defaulting private
corporate coupled with recent explosion of frauds with bank fund engineered by
the same corporate class is also a reflection of the anti-national act of the
Govt indulging and patronizing the same big-business class.
The
Central Trade Unions reiterated their utter condemnation against the Union
Budget 2018-19 which is basically anti-worker and anti-people in character and
engineered a deception on the mass of the people through loud populist slogans
without actually making any resource allocation.
The
Central Trade Unions denounced the Govt of India’s surreptitious move in
postponing the 47th session of Indian Labour Conference, thereby
reducing tripartism to a mockery.
CTUOs
noted with satisfaction the surging struggles by the working people in
different sectors throughout the country, both organised and unorganized.
The
workers and federations of coal and transport have been preparing for united
industrywide actions to be undertaken shortly. All the Federations of Defence
Production workers have jointly decided to go in for nationwide strike on 15th
March 2018. Many more sectoral actions are in the offing.
The
CTUOs while reiterating their resolve to intensify preparation for indefinite
strike in the days to come, calls upon all their constituents and working
people in general irrespective of affiliations to jointly observe
ALL
INDIA PROTEST DAY ON 15TH MARCH 2018
· In solidarity with the striking
Defence Production workers against anti-national privatization move
· Against the Anti-people Deceptive
Union Budget 2018-19.
The
CTUOs will meet shortly after 15th March 2018 to decide their next
course of united countrywide action.
