All
the 11 Central Unions along with independent Employees / workers
Federations are jointly appealing to all workers in the country to gear
up in large number at the grass root level to prepare and to go on
strike on 20-21st Feb.2013. Since the Government has become more
aggressive and has not shown any interest to consider our demands, we
are compelled to go for two days All India General Strike. It is only
through this action the Govt. could be made to come out from its adamant
attitude. To pressurize the Govt. to shed the anti labour attitude, it
is very necessary and important to participate in the strike on 20-21
Feb. 2012.
Once again, we all the 11 Central
Trade Unions appeal to all the working people of our nation to make the
strike a grand success.
