All India Insurance Employees Association (AIIEA) has called upon the LIC employees to go on strike on 9th March 2015, protesting against the passing of the Insurance Amendment Act in the Lok Sabha, increasing the FDI from 26% to 49%. The Insurance employees have been strongly opposing the bill and had warned the government that they will go on strike if the bill is passed.

In passing the bill, the Congress party played a dirty game. It absented itself from voting on the opposition moved resolution opposing the bill. This helped the government to easily pass the bill.

We fully support the strike of the LIC employees!
