Confdn/Circular No. 6/2010
Dated: 26th February, 2010.
Dear Comrades,
As you are aware the Central Trade Unions including the INTUC and BMS had united decided to carry out programmes of action against the neo liberal economic policies, especially in the matter of price rise, disinvestment of PSUS etc. In their press statement issued on 16th December, 2009, a call had been given for satyagraha/Jail Bharo to be organized on 17th February, 2010. Due to some unavoidable circumstances, this programme had to be postponed and would now take place on 5th March, 2010.
We have in our National Sectt. Meeting held recently taken the decision to be part and parcel of these prgrammes of action. Though Jail Bharo may be difficult for our comrades to participate, we request all affiliates and State Committee to enlist the participation of all our comrades in the demonstration that would be held prior to the court arrest. If the programme is being carried out at a centrally located place in each town and city, our comrades may kindly be asked to go over to that location to participate in the demonstration. If no such central place is identified, the State Committee of Confederation may explore the possibility of organizing the programme at a pre identified place or office as the case may be.
The five demands are:
(a) Contain price rise of essential commodities through appropriate corrective and universal distributive measures; contain speculation in commodity market.
(b) Take concrete proactive measures for employment protection in the recession stricken sectors along with the stimulus package being offered to the concerned entrepreneurs.
(c) Ensure strict enforcement of all basic labour laws without any exception or exemption and stringent punitive measures for violation of labour laws.
(d) Take steps for removal of all restrictive provisions based on poverty line in respect of eligibility for coverage of the schemes under the unorganized workers social security Act, 2008 and create National Fund to provide for National Floor level social security to all unorganized sector workers.
(e) Stop disinvestment of shares of Central Public Sector enterprises; instead use their growing reserve and surplus for expansion and modernization purposes and also for revival of sick public sector undertakings.
We have today issued a Press Statement on the Budget presented by the Finance Minister in the Parliament. A copy of the same is enclosed. Our views on the Budget are contained in the Press Statement. This Statement has been prepared before we get into all details of the Budget as it was not placed on the Website immediately after presentation.
With greetings,
