PRESS RELEASE:
CENTRAL TRADE UNIONS CONGRATULATE THE WORKERS FOR UNPRECEDENTED STRIKE ON 2ND SEPTEMBER
It has been an unprecedented strike of millions of workers at the call of Central Trade Unions. Response has been as never before. It is the biggest strike ever in the country.
This strike has been called by 10 Central Trade Unions. It has been supported by thousands of local unions, unaffiliated associations and federations. It is the largest unity of the trade unions that has done miracle. All sectors of the economy are affected.
The strike received the all-out support of the people. The strike call was given against Govt.negative response to 12 point charter, the main among these being the aggressive steps
being taken by the Govt. to amend labour laws in favour of corporates.
We congratulate and salute the gallant workers for their magnificent response. We expect Govt. to take lesson and take steps to ameliorate the grievances of the working
masses. It must restart discussions with Central Trade Unions for concrete solution to the demands failing which the struggle will be intensified.
This strike has been so spread because of the growing discontentment among working people against anti-worker policies of the government. It is also a protest against food
price rise and failure of the government to contain the slow-down of the economy leading to heavy retrenchment and informalisation.
The strike has been unprecedented in transport, Oil, Coal, Power, Bank, State Govt. employees, Insurance, Port & Dock, Defence, Postal, Telecom and automobile industries.
Thousands of workers have been on street to make the strike as an excellent success.
Delhi has also the impact of the strike.
The Central Trade Unions condemn the police action and atrocities by hooligans on the peaceful agitation by the trade union cadres for this strike in West Bengal. It is a state
backed terrorism. We believe all the right thinking people of the country unitedly protest against the atrocities committed on the trade union cadres of West Bengal.
Despite the terrorism sponsored by the state, the undaunted trade union activists have made the strike a success. We greet them.
There has also been lathi charge in different parts of the country. There have also been cases of intimidation by the police and arrest of workers. In some states, despite imposing ESMA, workers have moved forward undaunted to make this strike a grand
success.
The Central Trade Unions condemn the reckless police action.

Union leader searching their ground. Each and every strike they called historical, but in reality they are loosing faiths of employee and reason for suffering of common people due to strike
Strikes should be banned and any Union leader giving call for strike should be jailed
It is strike of central trade union,then please verify the roll of CPI(M) in west bengal
