19th September 2015, the 47th Anniversary of the “One Day Token Strike of 19th September 1968” was observed as “Martyrs’ Day” in many centres in Kerala. The speakers spoke about the historic strike and how the government attacked with all the forces available. They also spoke how the One Day strike became a rallying point of the CG Employees for fighting against victimisation of the strike.
This is one strike which will be remembered for a very long time for the strike as well as the fight against the brutal victimisation of the workers.

After the release of the confidential Netaji Files by the W.Bengal government two days back, the demand for the release of the Netaji Files with the Central government has become strengthened. Today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has stated that he will be meeting the 50 and odd family members of the Bose family by next month. Well and Good!
But Mr. PM, kindly release the files before that. Let people know the facts, the truth!

It is reported that across southeast Europe, nations closed borders, blocked bridges, shut down trains and built new razor-wire fences today in a rush to block tens of thousands seeking safety in Western Europe from crossing their territories.
The rapid-fire, often contradictory border decisions came as each nation tried to shift the burden of handling the huge influx onto their neighbors, leaving asylum-seekers even more angry, confused and desperate.
Croatia declared it was overwhelmed and began busing migrants in convoys back to Hungary and closing its border crossings with Serbia. Slovenia shut down rail service to Croatia and was sending migrants back there, while Hungary began building yet another new razor-wire border fence, this time on its Croatian border.
After Croatia blocked off a bridge from Serbia, leaving scores of people stranded for hours in the hot sun, Serbian authorities just transported them to another area where they could enter Croatia illegally.
With more than 15,400 migrants arriving in just three days, Croatian Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic declared that his nation of 4.2 million could no longer cope and asylum seekers could not stay.
“What else can we do?” Milanovic said at a news conference. “You are welcome in Croatia and you can pass through Croatia. But go on. Not because we don’t like you, but because this is not your final destination.” Nineteen Croatian buses carried migrants across the border Friday to Beremend, Hungary, where they were put on Hungarian buses to go to registration points.
Hungary’s foreign minister, Peter Szijjarto, called the Croatian prime minister’s handing of the migrant crisis “pathetic,” the MTI news agency reported. (Press Report)

The VII CPC is going to submit its recommendations by this month or within the end of the year. The Pay revision will be with effect from 01-01-2016. In the case of PSU employees, it is to be from 01-01-2017.
For the executives in the PSUs, there will be a Pay Revision Committee. For the non-executives, it will be wage negotiation between the management and the recognised union/s. The negotiations last time took three – four years due to protracted discussions.
So it is necessary that the negotiation should start without any delay.

The released files on Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose do not give any clear proof, whether he died in the air crash or lived for many years more. But one fact has come clear that the family of Bose was continuously spied and snooped upon. We can understand if the British Government has done it. But the government of free India continued this spying is completely unacceptable. The government should apologise for the same.
The next question is why the government was snooping? Was the Nehru government afraid of the revolutionary Bose coming back? Whether the government wanted to try Bose for treason as was the case with the other INA leaders?
These are questions the people of the country want to know as also whether any conspiracy was there between the Indian Government and the British Government ?
It is imperative and urgent that the Central Govt. also should release the Netaji Files , which will contain more information than what is released by the W.Bengal government.
We sympathise with the Bose family who were given a raw treatment by the government.

Around 30,000 people rallied in Helsinki on Friday against the Finnish government’s harsh austerity measures, as a strike shut down the country’s public transport, postal and harbour services and grounded some domestic flights.
Huge crowds braved a blustery thunderstorm to join the demonstration in a central square of the Finnish capital at midday, in a festive atmosphere with balloons and pop music blaring from speakers.
“No way!” read placards carried by some demonstrators, who numbered around 30,000 according to both organisers and police.
Finnish Prime Minister Juha Sipila last week announced plans to revive the eurozone country’s slumping economy after three years of recession, including cutting back holidays, reducing pensioners’ housing allowances and slashing employees’ overtime and Sunday pay. (Courtesy: Ganashakti)
