Dear Comrade,
The 48 hour two day General Strike
The two days strike, for which the call was given by the Joint Platform of Trade Unions in the country through the National Convention held at New Delhi on 4th September, 2012 was a tremendous success. Not only the workers in the country but also common people supported the strike action in many States. It is estimated by the Central Trade Unions that more than 10 crore workers might have participated in the strike. In other words more than 50 crore people of the country supported the action. The overwhelming response in the mightiest strike action ever of the Indian working Class is indicative of the growing anger against the economic policies pursued by the Government. There had been constant and continuous increase in the prices of basic needs of the common people i.e. food items, gas, diesel, gas, coal electricity etc. in the last two years. The inflation in the economy continued unabated despite the assurance held out by the rulers, as a matter of course. to contain it.
