Union Labour and Employment
Minister Shri Mallikarjun Kharge has appealed to the major central trade
Unions to desist from going on countrywide general strike on February
28,2012.The Minister has issued the following appeal here today:
‘ I am pained to learn that all
major central trade unions have decided to observe a countrywide general
strike on 28th february 2012 when the whole attention of the country is
focussed on achieving high economic growth. It may be appreciated that
the UPA Government has taken strong measures to contain price rise, as a
result of which prices of commodities have decreased significantly in
recent months. It is well-known that the interest of the common man is
paramount for the UPA Government in all policy decisions, particularly
relating to the weaker sections of society, farmers and working class.
In pursuance to these avowed objectives the Ministry of Labour and
employment has taken many radical steps to improve the lot of working
class. Most of the issues relating to labour raised by the central trade
unions have already been addressed to a substantial extent. However, i
do assure all the central trade unions that i am always open to
discussions on any of the issues relating to labour at any time and
resolve the same amicably through consultations.
There is no denying the fact
that the proposed strike will not only cause colossal economic loss to
the country but also bring hardship and inconvenience to the common man.
In view of the above and in the
interest of the country I would fervently appeal to all the central
trade unions to desist from going on strike on 28th February 2012.
