Secretary of All India Road Transport Workers Federation affiliated to CITU and former Kerala State Minister Elamaram Karim called for a comprehensive legislation for the welfare of transport workers at national level.
Addressing a meeting after inaugurating the Kurnool district Motor Workers Union office (which was named after comrade Basheer) on Sunday, he described motors workers as unprotected class and highly vulnerable section in the country. He said the Central government failed to look into the problems and working conditions of the people working in the transport sector while only a few States made some Acts for the welfare of transport workers.
Mr. Karim called upon the CITU activists to start their work taking up street as a unit rather than concentrating at macro level. He said the CPI (M) had strong base in Kerala and the party lost the previous election with only a razor thin majority.
