The man in the street welcomes the decision of National convention of Central trade unions to go for country-wide strike on 7th of Sept'10 against unprecedented price rise,rampant violation of Labour-Laws,contractualisation of workforce,disinvestment of profit making public sector and for provisions of universal social security for unorganised sector workers.The convention was also attended by representatives of several independent federations of state and central govt.employees,banks,insurance ,defense establishments and other service sector establishments for all section of workers .
It is unfortunate that despite remaining together in all joint programs and being in agreement to this General Strike,BMS opted out - citing some organisational issues,it is expected that they may extend their support to this people's action.
The present phase is another step by all section of work force in a decade long struggle of united movement,cutting across political divide,against neo -liberal policies,the economic crisis resulting in insurmountable miseries of peasants and workers of our country.If anybody is to be held responsible for this show down, it is the govt. which never once bothered to give its ears to the justified demands of the people,not only it remained unresponsive but it unleashed further sufferings on common man by increasing prices of petroleum products,allowing employers to blatantly violate law of the land.
In such a back ground the call for; GENERAL STRIKE IS AN IMPORTANT STEP IN HEIGHTENING THE UNITED MOVEMENT OF WORKING CLASS OF THIS COUNTRY AND IT MUST CONTINUE TILL THE AGENDA OF LOOT BY U P A UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF M M S IN NAME OF ECONOMIC POLICY IS NOT CHANGED ,THIS POLICY OUGHT BE DEFEATED IF COMMON MAN SEEK RELIEF.
What do you say friends ? will have to take sides,sitting at fence,no more please.
