The decision of the government to disinvest 10% of stakes in Coal India Limited (CIL) is strongly opposed by the unions in the PSU. At present the government is having 90%, out of which another 10% is proposed to be disinvested. The Unions have given a call to go on a 3 days strike against the same from 17th December.
Sensing the strong opposition of the workers, the government is proposing to disinvest 5% only at present. It does not want a strike in the strategic coal sector, along with the already crises due to the serious corruption cases.
But the Unions are sticking to their position, and rightly so. They are continuing with the strike preparation demanding that no disinvestment should take place in CIL.
Our complete support and solidarity to the CIL workers in their struggle to defend the PSU.
