The UPA government is in a hurry to pass the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) Bill in the Parliament. This bill which could not be passed in the first UPA government due to the stiff opposition from the Left Parties, without whose support the government could not continue, has been brought again by the II UPA government. The entrire Trade Unions have strongly protested this anti-worker bill, but still the government wants to move ahead to help the big business and employers.

The support given by the main opposition, BJP, in presenting the bill has encouraged the government to move swiftly. That is what reflected in the statement of the Yogesh Agerwal, Interim Chairman of PFRDA that ‘ There is no further hurdles in the passage of PFRDA Bill’.

The TU movement in the country has to take this as a big challenge and make all out efforts to defeat the government’s sinister move.

Sustained struggles are necessary to stop this anti-worker bill being passeda and made in to law.
