Do not convert working class into modern day slaves of India..

The Modi government is taking all out efforts to convert the Indian working class into the modern day slaves of India. Before and after the independence of our country, the Indian working class has conducted heroic struggles and made immense sacrifices to get their trade union rights implemented. As a result, 29 Labour Laws have been implemented in India, to protect various rights of the Indian working class. It must be understood that these 29 Labour Laws were implemented not out of the mercy of the rulers, but out of the struggles and sacrifices of the Indian working class. It is a tragedy that, the Modi government has demolished all these 29 Labour Laws and is bringing four Labour Codes in the place of the 29 Labour Laws. The four Labour Codes being introduced by the Modi government are completely pro-corporate, pro- employer and anti-working class. These four Labour Codes have been cleverly designed to crush the trade union rights of the working class. The 10 Central Trade Unions of India are opposing these four Labour Codes tooth and nail. The 10 Central Trade Unions have decided to organise a General Strike, demanding to abolish the four Labour Codes and to restore the 29 Labour Laws ( date not yet finalised). The Central Executive Committee meeting of BSNLEU, held on 12th January 2025, has decided to make this strike successful in BSNL. Circle and district unions are called upon by the CHQ to start the preparations in right earnest, to make the General Strike a total success, as and when it is announced by the Central Trade Unions. We will not allow Modi government to convert the working class into modern day slaves of India.
