Andhra Pradesh Government decides to increase the working hours to 10 hours per day - BSNLEU strongly condemns this move..

The Andhra Pradesh government has decided to amend Labour Laws to increase the working hours to 10 hours per day in all private firms and factories. The AP government has said that, this step was taken to attract more investments and industries. BSNLEU strongly condemns this decision of the Andhra Pradesh government and demands to drop the plan. The Chandrababu Naidu government is only full filling the desire of the capitalist class. This is not an isolate development in Andhra Pradesh state alone. The Modi government has abolished all the existing 29 labour laws and in their place is bringing four Labour Codes. If these 4 Labour Codes are implemented, then the present system of 8 hours working- day will come to an end. So, what is happening in Andhra Pradesh is only a trailer. Infosys founder Narayana Murthy has already demanded that, working hours should be increased to 70 hours per week. Similarly, the L&T chairman, S.M Subramanian, has already demanded that, workers should work for 90 hours per week. The capitalist class and the government want to convert workers into slave. The 10 Central Trade Unions have given call for General Strike on 9th July, 2025, against these anti- worker measures. Let us fully participate in the General Strike and make it a total success.
