The lies being spread by the government and the employers stand exposed before the people. As per the news analysis by the Hay Group Division of the Korn Ferry, India’s salary growth stood at a mere 0.2% for the last 8 years. At the same time the GDP has grown by 63.8%.
Further, there is wide unequal wage growth. While the top level employees are 30% well off after the recession period, the lower employees are 30% worse off.
Both the UPA and the NDA governments have only been looking in to increasing the wealth and assets of the rich, the affluent and the corporates. They have been completely ignoring the demands of the toiling masses. The struggles and agitations by the central trade unions and other unions/federations for justice to the workers have been ignored and sidelined.
The fruits of the economic growth of the country have been usurped by the rich. Where is justice for the poor employees? It is not surprising that more than 18 crore workers participated in the 2nd December 2016 strike fought for the betterment of the workers and the common people.
The UPA and NDA leaders should apologise to the people and toiling masses for the fraud. They should immediately retract from the anti-people neo-liberal policies; They should hear and accept the demands of the workers.
