10 trade unions and Samyukt Kisan Morcha resolve to fight against Central government policies

The Hindu  

The All India Joint Convention of Workers and Farmers, organised by 10 Central Trade Unions and the Samyukt Kisan Morcha, has decided to launch protests against the Union government’s policies ahead of the General Elections scheduled in 2024. The convention also called for unity of workers and peasants to address the “alarming situation created by the aggressive pro-corporate policies”. “The convention highlighted the agricultural crisis in India due to the pro-corporate and anti-farmer policies of the Union government, which has resulted in falling incomes and rising indebtedness and suicides among the farmers,” a release said. “The erosion of workers’ rights through the new labour codes, and the deteriorating condition of agricultural and migrant workers, who lack social security and are pushed into poverty, was also highlighted,” the release added.
