Bharat Bandh Trade Union Strike — What Will Be Affected

By Rajkamal

The Central Trade Unions (CTUs) have called for a nation wide strike today (September 2) claiming the government has not paid attention to their demands. The trade unions believe that the government is indifferent to the workers' demands and effecting anti-worker changes in labour laws.

The CTUs have called for the strike against the "anti-worker and anti-people policies" of the government and in view of its "utterly unresponsive and undemocratic attitude".
