Bankers demonstrated at Oriental Bank of Commerce (OBC), Press Complex, impacting banking services in the region.\n\nThey also put up 12-point demands including minimum wage of Rs 21,000 and pension of Rs 10,000 among all departments.\n\nThe National Open Mass Convention of Workers organised by the ten Central Trade Unions namely INTUC, AITUC, HMS, CITU, AIUTUC, TUCC, SEWA, AICCTU, LPF, UTUC, independent federations and associations of various sectors including some independent unions called for a nationwide general strike against the anti-worker, anti people, anti-national policies of the Modi-2 Government.\n\nWestern central Railways (WCR) Employees Union Philip Oommen said, \u201cWe have supported the strike on the basis of demands which are well justified. We hold demonstration to extend moral support to strike which was against central government anti-employees policies.\u201d\n\nINTUC (BHEL) president RD Tripathi said, \u201cAll the trade unions were on strike in BHEL in response to the nationwide strike call against central government anti-employees policies. It was big strike against union government.\u201d\n\nAll India Postal Department Employees Association general secretary RN Parashar said, \u201cIt was successful nationwide strike against union government anti-employees policies especially economic policies. Employees from all the branches joined the strike.\u201d\n\nAs per protesters, the national economy is slowing down. The adverse effects are already being felt by the workers in unorganised as well as organised sectors in the form of large scale retrenchment and closures. In the name of the recession, the Central Government is taking steps such as reducing corporate taxes, and giving them big bonanza from the national exchequer while not a single penny is spent to ensure job security or employment allowance to the workers.", "keywords": [], "meta_keywords": ["Bhopal", "Trade Union", "All India Strike"], "tags": ["Bhopal", "Trade union", "all india strike"], "authors": [], "publish_date": null, "summary": "", "article_html": "", "meta_description": "They also put up 12-point demands including minimum wage of Rs 21,000 and pension of Rs 10,000 among all departments.", "meta_lang": "en", "meta_favicon": "https://www.freepressjournal.in/favicon.ico", "meta_data": {"news_keywords": "Bhopal ,Trade Union,All India Strike", "description": "They also put up 12-point demands including minimum wage of Rs 21,000 and pension of Rs 10,000 among all departments.", "title": "All India strike by trade Unions: Around 8 L union employees shout out to the \u2018anti-people\u2019 policies", "keywords": "Bhopal ,Trade Union,All India Strike", "og": {"type": "article", "url": "https://www.freepressjournal.in/bhopal/all-india-strike-by-trade-unions-around-8-l-union-employees-shout-out-to-the-anti-people-policies", "title": "All India strike by trade Unions: Around 8 L union employees shout out to the \u2018anti-people\u2019 policies", "image": {"identifier": "https://gumlet.assettype.com/freepressjournal%2F2020-01%2F54c5bef6-7ba7-448d-bbce-d96d59120485%2F1pic08.JPG?w=1200&auto=format%2Ccompress&ogImage=true", "width": 1200}, "site_name": "Latest Indian news, Top Breaking headlines, Today Headlines, Top Stories at Free Press Journal"}, "twitter": {"card": "summary_large_image", "title": "All India strike by trade Unions: Around 8 L union employees shout out to the \u2018anti-people\u2019 policies", "image": "https://gumlet.assettype.com/freepressjournal%2F2020-01%2F54c5bef6-7ba7-448d-bbce-d96d59120485%2F1pic08.JPG?w=1200&auto=format%2Ccompress&ogImage=true", "creator": "Staff Reporter", "site": "Latest Indian news, Top Breaking headlines, Today Headlines, Top Stories at Free Press Journal", "domain": "https://www.freepressjournal.in"}, "fb": {"app_id": 2254637581419855, "pages": 178566438825717}, "viewport": "width=device-width,height=device-height,initial-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=2.0,minimum-scale=1.0", "apple-mobile-web-app-capable": "yes", "apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style": "black"}, "canonical_link": "https://www.freepressjournal.in/bhopal/all-india-strike-by-trade-unions-around-8-l-union-employees-shout-out-to-the-anti-people-policies"}
