CTUs, General Strike 2nd Sept

The meeting between the Group of Ministers headed by Finance Minister Arun Jaitely and the Central trade Union leaders did not make any headway since there was no concrete proposals from the government for settling the major demands raised by the CTUs. The talks will continue tomorrow.

The Central TU leaders called upon the workers to fully prepare for the strike since no concrete proposals have come from the government. Anyhow, they will attend the meeting tomorrow.

Make the 2nd September Strike a big success.

Where is the govt. announcement increasing minimum wage?

25 Tuesday Aug 2015

000, ontract workers, Rs.15, strike, Wage

The Government had stated that it will be difficult to announce Rs.15,000 as Minimum Wage as demanded by the Central trade Unions, but some increase will be there. But despite many weeks, no orders have been issued. Workers will not be happy with any amount less than Rs. 15,000 as demanded by the Central TUs.

Is the government waiting for the strike to take place? In that case, the government will certainly see the anger of the workers. There is nothing surprising in the  government in-action, since it has a tradition of promising and not delivering.

2 September 2015 General Strike – BSNL Executives Employees also should be part of this great working Class Struggle

2nd September Strike, executives in BSNL

While most of the unions/associations in BSNL have given notice for strike on 2nd September 2015 called by the 11 Central Trade unions on the major demands of the working class and the demands of the BSNL employees, the major executive associations in BSNL is vacillating. So far they have not given the strike notice and it seems that they may not go on strike also.

Many associations of officers/executives in government sector  and public sector have decided for strike. In the private sector also, this is the situation. In certain sectors, the union/association includes both executives and non-executives and the decision for strike is there.

The anti-worker, anti-people policies of the central government are adversely affecting all the workers, including executives/officers. Even at this late stage a rethinking can be undertaken and a correct decision to go on strike taken, which will benefit all.

2nd September Strike, solidarity, WFTU

WFTU Support to the National General Strike in India on September 2nd 2015

The WFTU has issued the following statement on 03 Aug 2015:
The World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) that represents more than 92 million workers all over the world expresses its strong solidarity with our class brothers and sisters of India, who prepare a National General Strike for September 2nd.

During the last years India has met great financial rise. It is member of BRICS, has nuclear arsenal and space program. But this financial boom is not a benefit for most of the one billion people of India. Skyscrapers are built next to the slums. Extreme wealth is gathered next to starving people. While the rich become richer, the wretched are once more the victims. The growth of the capitalist economy is always based on the escalation of the exploitation of the working class. Today that India and its bourgeois political forces take pride on the economic and military strength of the Indian Nation; the vast majority of the people live the contradiction of pauperization.

In these conditions the struggle and the demands of the Trade Union movement of India is just. The WFTU affiliates in India have been preparing this strike for months, showing the determination and the will of the class forces to mobilize the great force of the working people. The success of the National General Strike in India, on September 2nd will be a success for the working class of the world.

Especially this year, when the WFTU celebrates its 70th Year Anniversary, we would like to highlight the historic contribution of the class trade union movement of India to the World Federation since its foundation. It is a fact that without the struggles and the contribution of the trade union movement of India, the international class trade union movement would not be the same.

The WFTU expresses its internationalist support and solidarity to the struggle of its Indian brothers and calls all trade union organizations of WFTU to stand in solidarity with the National Strike of the Indian working class.

Long Live International Solidarity! Long Live the class trade union movement of India! All success to the National General Strike of September 2nd!

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

31 Friday Jul 2015

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
