The Chief Labour Commissioner has called for a meeting of the Banks Management  and the Bank Unions in view of the strike call given by the latter. The United Forum of Bank Unions(UFBU), the umbrella organisations of the Bank Unions, has given notice for one day strike on 7th January, 4 days strike from 21 January and for Indefinite Strike from 16 March 2015 demanding immediate wage revision. The talks had failed earlier since the Bank management refused the demand of 23 % pay increase which the unions demanded. They were prepared only for 11% increase.

We fully support the demand of the UFBU and demand the Bank managements to discuss and agree to the reasonable demand. We give all support and solidarity to the strike of the Bank Employees.

The Forum of BSNL Unions/Associations, Kerala Circle has deferred its agitational programme, which was to start from 1st January 2015, after successful settlement of most of the issues. The draft minutes of the discussion between the management and the Forum received shows that the Kerala Circle Unions have taken a very pro-active role in improving the services and is not sparing anything to go astray. The struggle was for better services to the people. It is noted that there has been more than 12% expansion and growth in the last year which has got to be appreciated.

We congratulate both the Forum and the Management for the successful settlement.

Declassify Netaji Files, Declare 23 January as “Desh Drem Diwas”

downloadThe demand of the Left Front Parties of W. Bengal that January 23, the birth day of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, be declared as “Desh Prem Diwas” is appropriate and should be appreciated. Subhas Chandra Bose was one of the top most leaders of the Indian freedom movement and was elected as President of the Indian National Congress twice.  The formation of the Indian National Army (INA) for liberating India and the heroic efforts are well documented.  He was born 23rd January 1897 and the death is still a mystery.

The Government of India has many files in connection with the last days of Subhas Chandra Bose. It was so far not made public since there were strong belief that Netaji is still alive. But now, that a long period has elapsed, it is necessary for the people to know what exactly happened after the airplane crash in 1945 in which Subhas Chandra Bose was also there.

Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose has to be honoured by declaring his Birth Day as “Desh Prem Diwas” and the mystery files declassified so that all the people will know the truth. The Government of W.Bengal and Centre should take immediate action in the matter.

Revolutionary Greetings to the people of Socialist Cuba on the anniversary of the victory of the Cuban Revolution, which falls on 1st January!

Yes, it was 55 years back on 1st January 1959 that the Guerrilla group led by Fidel Castro declared the victory of the Cuban Revolution after  the dictator Batista was defeated and ran way. Cuba has not looked back after that. Despite all machinations of the US and other imperialist countries to kill Socialist Cuba, it still remains and is able to improve the condition of its people. Cuba survived the inhuman economic blockade also.

It is the victory of Socialist Cuba that the US had to come down and the diplomatic relations are going to restart after many decades. The Cuban Five have been released from US prisons. Let us hope that the confrontation will come down.

Revolutionary Greetings to the heroic people of Cuba on their anniversary of victory of Revolution!

On this day,

Is the NDA Government becoming an Ordinance Raj ?

Is the the NDA Government transforming itself in to an Ordinance Raj? It seems so.

After the winter session of the parliament is over, the NDA government has started issuing ordinances one after another. Three ordinances have already been issued viz. Insurance Act (Amendment) increasing FDI in Insurance sector from 26% to 49%, Coal Allotment Ordinance  for allowing allotment of coal blocks to private companies and now the Land Acquisition (Amendment)  Act  making it easier to acquire the land even without the full consent of the owners.

What is the urgency to issue so many ordinances, which can be discussed in the next session and put for approval. Yes, these are all in the interest of the corporates, big business and MNCs  and can not be delayed as the NDA is committed to them for the huge election funds donated.

Yes, the NDA Government is changing in to an ORDINANCE RAJ!
