Our continued efforts to bring the FNTO in to the 15th December Strike seems to have failed. It is reported in the website of FNTO that the Central Working Committee meeting of FNTO has decided not to participate in the 15th December Striek. The reason- JAC did not postpone the strike for two or three days.

It is true. The JAC could not postpone the strike now as it is already postponed twice. The information was given to FNTO immediately after JAC took decision to go onstrike on 15th December. The decision was to organise the strike during Parliament session. The Parliament may close at any date before 21st. Further after preparing fully, changing the date will not be possible. The CWC was held on 1-2 December and the strike notice could have been given on the date itself with 14 days notice. Even otherwise once the notice is given by a union, joining the strike 14 days notice is not necessary.
