THE Centre of Indian
Trade Unions
congratulated the workers as well as all the unions of Neyveli
Lignite
Corporation(NLC) in Tamilnadu for their all-in united
indefinite strike action
from July 4 against the decision of the government to
disinvest shares of the public
sector company.
The strike commenced
on July 4 and
around 27,000 workers including 13,000 contract workers are in
complete strike
with a firm determination to resist offloading of shares of
NLC to private
hands.
The CITU also
congratulated all the
trade unions and associations representing the employees and
workers of NLC for
the all-in unity they have built up in the course of
anti-privatisation
struggle.
The CITU condemned
the move of the government
and the NLC management to move to High Court to get the strike
banned ignoring
the sentiment and opinion not only of the workers and officers
of NLC but the
people of Tamilandu irrespective of political affiliations.
The heroic all-in
united strike
struggle of the NLC workers against privatisation and
disinvestment would
inspire the public sector workers and the working people in
general in the
struggle against anti-people economic policy and policy of
privatisation. The CITU
called upon the trade union movement and the working class in
general to extend
their support and solidarity to the heroic strike struggle by
NLC workers.
