| Trade Unions hold convention, to observe all India strike on Sep 2 | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Aug 16: The state level convention of workers associated with CITU, INTUC, AITUC, Insurance, Banks, BSNL being held under the banner of joint platform of all the Trade Unions and federation of all sectors and service establishments expresses deep concern over anti-workers, anti-people and pro-corporate action of the present governments at centre and state in pursuance of policies of globalization and to empower the employer with right to "hire and fire" and stripping the workers and trade unions of all their rights and benefits by amending the existing labour laws. Stating that the frequent amendments to labour laws have so far armed the employers further, State President Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) and MLA Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami said these amendments have deprived the working class who need coordinated efforts and a united resistance to safeguard their own interests across the country especially in Jammu and Kashmir. While addressing a joint state level day long convention of unions held in Jammu, Tarigami expressed serious concern over the plight of the working class who are adversely hit by the neo-liberal economic policies pursued by the Central Government. These policies, he observed, are drastically affecting the workforce especially working in the unorganized sector across the country including Jammu and Kashmir virtually reducing them to the status of bonded labour.
Censuring the central government for curtailing the allocations for various centrally sponsored schemes like Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS), National Health Mission (NHM), Sarva Shiksha Abhyan (SSA) and Mid Day Meal (MDM), Tarigami said these centrally sponsored schemes have been in vogue for the last over a decade and now have been arbitrary diluted much to disadvantage of the families of working class.
Kumar Sharma, President INTUC said most of families of unorganized sector workers, agricultural workers or small and marginal peasants are the beneficiaries of centrally sponsored schemes and slashing their budgetary allocations have directly hit these families the worst.
The INTUC president observed that instead of increasing the allocations for these schemes, the union government has adopted deceptive ploy of announcement of social security scheme just to hoodwink the unorganized sector. |
