September 2 nationwide strike to be bigger than last year's: Unions

Strike is going to be complete in industrial sectors such as transport, financial, power, coal, textile, port and dock, automobile, steel, oil, defence production, scheme, education and Central and State government employees.

NEW DELHI: As many as 10 central trade unions will go ahead with the general strike on Friday saying the government gave no heed to their 12-point charter of demands and is continuing with unilateral labour reforms. 

CTUs claimed that over 15 crore workers are likely to participate in the strike and it will be bigger than the one held last year 

CTUs reiterate the call for countrywide general strike on September 2 against the "anti-worker and anti-people policies" of the government and in view of its "utterly unresponsive and undemocratic attitude", CITU General Secretary Tapen Sen said here in a joint press conference by 10 CTUs here. 

All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC) Secretary Amarjeet Kaur said the unions view the announcements made by Ministers' panel, headed by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, as an eyewash

Indian National Trade Union Congress(INTUC) Vice President Ashok Singh said: "Prime Minister Narendra Modi said his fight is with poverty, but it seems his fight is with the poor in this country. The government's decision are totally pro-capitalist."
