Trade Unions Postpone Strike Amidst National Tensions

In a significant move, central trade unions have decided to postpone the nationwide general strike originally set for May 20 to July 9. This decision comes in the wake of the escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, particularly following the tragic terrorist attack in Pahalgam.

Responsible Patriotism in Times of Crisis

The unions emphasized their role as responsible patriotic citizens, acknowledging the need to prioritize national unity and security during these challenging times. The statement highlighted the unions' commitment to opposing the implementation of the Labour Codes and advocating for workers' rights.

Continued Struggle for Workers' Rights

Despite the postponement, the trade unions remain steadfast in their fight against anti-worker policies. They criticized employers and governments for exploiting the national crisis to undermine labor rights, including extending working hours and violating minimum wage laws.
