EPFO will put Rs.5,000 crore in share markets

31 Friday Jul 2015

Posted by VAN NAMBOODIRI in Uncategorized

≈ 1 Comment

Despite strong opposition from the trade unions, the EPFO will be putting Rs.5,000 crore of its funds in the market. This step will put to risk the hard-earned money of the workers in the highly fluctating and risky market.
As per statement of Central EPF Commissioner, this will be done in a function to be held at Mumbai on 6th August 2015.
We strongly oppose this decision which is putting the EPF in risk.

Another Olympics in Beijing – It is 2022 Winter Olympics

Beijing, Winter Olympics

The International Olympic Committee in its meeting held at Kuala Lumpur has awarded the 2022 Winter Olympics to Beijing. It is for the first time that both the Summer and Winter Olympics have been awarded to be held at the same place. The Summer Olympics was hosted by Beijing, the Chinese Capital, in 2008.

The Communist China is not only improving its financial and business status in the world, but  its organisational status also.  Just compare with the inept conduct of the Common Wealth Games in Delhi and the huge corruption connected with it.

BJP Govt. approves 49% FPI in Multi-brand Retail

BJP Government, FDI in multi-retail

In a complete U-turn from its earlier position, the BJP Government has decided to approve up to 49% FDI in multi-brand retail, which it has strongly opposed while it was in opposition. This will be routed through Foreign Portfolio Investment (FPI). The MNCs and Corporates have got such influence on the BJP Government, so that  within one year, the BJP was compelled to completely change its line of opposing the FDI in multi-brand retail and surrendered to the dictates of the powerful lobbies. This decision will result in the MNC giants like Walmart, Carrefour etc. to capture the Indian retail market, thus destroying lakhs and crores of small shop-keepers.

Delhi government, witness protection

The Kejrival APP Government of Delhi has notified a scheme intended to protect the witnesses. Called “Witness Protection Scheme”, it makes provisions for safeguarding the lives and security to the witnesses, who give evidences and who are targeted by those against whom the evidences are given.

It is to be noted that in the past, many witnesses have been killed by the accused. In the Vyapam Scam alone many people have been killed mysteriously.

The decision of the AAP government is  appreciated.

New Attempt to Silence the Action of the Class Trade Unions in Greece

Greece, PAME, TUI(P andR), WFTU

A report from TUI(P and T), WFTU, on the New Attempt to Silence the Action of the Class Trade Unions in Greece is reproduced below:

The Executive Secretariat of PAME denounces the Mayor and the Municipal Authorities of
Kalamata (city in the Southern Greece) for demanding PAME to pay a fine of almost 1000€!
The infringement they accuse PAME of, is “creating pollution by using banners” to call to
demonstrations against the new, brutal Memorandum of SYRIZA and the anti workers’
measures that destroy our lives!
The absolute silence they demand; the attempts to create obstacles in people’s mobilization
only prove that they are with the side of the capitalists.
PAME, its forces, are not intimidated, are not subjugated! Steadfast, militantly they stand
against the capital, the EU and their servants in every level. Central, regional or municipal.
We return your fine back at you! Send it to the capitalists and the Government!
We call the working class of Kalamata, the self employed, the small farmers and especially the
youth, in spite of our differences, to rally with PAME, the social alliance and strengthen it. To
strengthen our common action against those who want to destroy us, the European Union, the
monopolies, their political parties, and their servants, like the Municipal Authorities of Kalamata.
They support the old and New Memoranda, the anti workers policies, the extreme taxation to
the people. They support our pauperization with wage cuts, pension cuts, rise of retirement age
to 67 years, to 72.
We call you to demand the recover of our losses, our contemporary needs, to strengthen
solidarity. No one to be alone in the crisis
THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARIAT PAME
