Nawanshahr- Street Vendors Union will go on strike on May 20 and join the rally being organized by IFTU in Nawanshahr. Street vendors will be on complete strike on this day. This decision was taken in a big meeting of street vendors in Nawanshahr. Street vendors who set up shops of fruits, vegetables, juice, kulcha and other types participated in this meeting.
Addressing this meeting, Indian Federation of Trade Unions (IFTU) Punjab State Press Secretary Jasbir Deep, District Secretary Parveen Kumar Nirala said that today the working class is facing big challenges.
The Modi government has repealed the first pro-labor labor law and introduced four anti-labor and pro-capitalist labor codes. The Modi government has launched a huge attack on the working class. The insecurity at workplaces in the country is taking the lives of workers every day. Instead of taking any action against the employers, the Modi government at the centre and the state governments are patting the backs of the employers. These governments are launching fascist attacks on the peaceful rallies and protests of workers, farmers and employees.
The governments are serving the capitalists by inciting religious sentiments among the people and diverting their attention from the real issues. The common people are suffering due to inflation, unemployment and corruption. The governments of the ruling class parties are trampling the democratic and constitutional values ??under their feet. An anti-worker atmosphere is being created by spreading false propaganda against the migrant workers, in which the government agencies are adopting very disgusting tactics.
He called upon the working class to remain vigilant, organize their strength and join the fierce struggles. In the meeting, the street vendors raised their hands and approved the strike on May 20 and the rally being organized by IFTU at the Nawanshahr bus stand with full attendance and other proposals. On this occasion, the president of the street vendors union Hare Ram, Kishore Kumar, Gopal, Raju, Kapil, Hari Ram and other leaders were also present.
