It highlights growing labor unrest and political opposition to current economic policies regarding the working class.
All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC) general secretary Amarjeet Kaur on Sunday called for a sustained movement to safeguard the rights of workers and other toiling sections, alleging that the policies of the BJP-led dispensation at the Centre were undermining their interests.
Addressing a public meeting at Circus Grounds in Karimnagar on the inaugural day of the three-day 4 th State conference of the AITUC, Ms. Kaur said workers, farmers, and youth were facing several challenges, particularly in areas of employment, education and livelihood.
She said the recent student agitation at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi reflected growing concerns among the youth over the lack of quality public education and employment opportunities.
Ms. Kaur alleged that the BJP-led dispensation was weakening labour laws and favouring a select group of corporate houses at the expense of workers’ interests.
