AITUC to organise 'chalo parliament' on Nov 23

Hyderabad, Sep 22 (UNI) All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC) would organise 'chalo parliament' on November 23, demanding the Centre to introduce welfare schemes for labourers working in unorganised sectors and provide jobs to the unemployed youth in the country.

Informing this to reporters here today, AITUC National Council General Secretary Gurudas Dasgupta alleged that the UPA government at the Centre was following 'anti-labour' policies by not filling about ten lakh vacant posts in Central government departments.

He said pressure would be mounted on the Union Government till it conceded the demands of the AITUC.

The AITUC would organise a nationwide strike on December 14 in protest against the 'anti-employee' policies of the government in which CITU, HMS, Defence and Insurance employees would participate, he said and charged the UPA government with adopting the same policies pursued by the previous BJP-led NDA government.

Mr Dasgupta alleged that the government was allotting lands to the private companies in the name of establishing Special Economic Zones (SEZs) where the companies were building their 'kingdoms.' To a query, he demanded that the government to waive the loans taken by the farmers from the banks in view of increasing suicides in Vidharbha even after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's visit there and announce special package for peasants.

'Waiving of interest on farmer's loans alone can not solve their problems,' he noted.
