Building a Wider
Horizon With Labour
Ahead of the general elections, 10 central trade unions, barring the RSS-affiliated Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh, have demanded a national minimum wage, equal pay for equal work, an end to contract labour and a minimum indexed pension of Rs.6,000 per month, among others. "Let us place our demands, the workers' charter, before the political parties and compel them to concretely express their stand on these issues before we decide whom to vote," the central trade unions said in a joint statement.
