Why are we collecting donation to the Agricultural Workers’ Union.

The first General Strike, held on 19^th January, 1982, was a manifestation of worker-peasant unity. The strike raised the demands of the agricultural workers and peasants also, together with the demands of the workers. 10 comrades were killed in that strike, among whom, many were agricultural workers. In our country, the number of agricultural workers is very big. The unity of the industrial workers and agricultural workers will be a very powerful weapon to fight against the exploitations of the capitalists class and the oppressions of the government. The All India Centre of BSNLEU, while deciding to observe the 40^th anniversary of the first General Strike, also decided to collect Rs.5/- each from members and well-wishers.
