The Five Days Strike called by the trade unions in Coal India Limited, against privatisation and disinvestment of the coal sector has started today, 6th January  and will continue till 10th January 2015. 5 lakh workers are on strike and the production in the coal sector has been completely stopped.

The coal  workers and theri unions are demanding the scrapping of the Coal Mines (Special Provisions ) Ordinance 2014 and also withdrawing the Coal Mines (Special Provisions) Bill, which aims at denationalisation of the coal sector and its disinvestment. The bill could not be passed in the Parliament, and after the session, ordinance to the effect has been issued after the session was over.

We support the fully justified strike of the coal workers and demand the government to cancel the Ordinance which is completely against the interest of the country and its people.
