Nationwide Strike Looms: 25 Crore Workers to Protest Anti-Worker Policies
Over 25 crore workers from diverse sectors are gearing up for a nationwide strike, scheduled for a date yet to be officially announced. The planned action is a powerful demonstration against what unions term anti-worker, anti-farmer, and pro-corporate government policies.
Central to the workers’ concerns are the government’s privatization drive, the recently implemented labour code changes, and broader economic policies blamed for rising unemployment and escalating living costs.
Trade unions representing a vast spectrum of workers, from industrial labourers to agricultural workers, are united in their opposition. They argue these policies disproportionately benefit large corporations at the expense of the common citizen.
The impending strike threatens to severely disrupt essential services across the country, impacting various sectors and potentially leading to significant economic repercussions. The magnitude of the planned action underscores the deep-seated discontent among India’s working class. The government’s response to these concerns will be crucial in determining the future trajectory of industrial relations in the nation.
