Workers’ convention backs September 2 strike

August 24, 2016 02:09 pm | Updated 03:02 pm IST - Kolar:

A convention organised by the Joint Committee of Trade Unions (JCTU) here on Wednesday resolved to support the All India strike on September 2.

The national level trade unions have given the strike call to register protest against spiralling prices of essential commodities and anti-workers policies of union and State governments.

Necessary measures to contain growing unemployment, abrogation of contract system, fixing of Rs. 18,000 as minimum wages, pension to workers belonging to the unorganised sector are some other demands of the trade unions.

CITU district president Gandhinagar Narayanaswamy called upon various sections of labour class to organise to protect the hard won rights and facilities.
