'All workers will go on massive strike in Puducherry tomorrow'

PUDUCHERRY: The general strike being observed here tomorrow in response to a nationwide call given by central trade unions and federations to condemn the 'anti labour' polices of the NDA government would be a massive stir, a top union leader said today.

Stating this to PTI during the propaganda on the eve of the strike launched by a number of trade unions, including AITUC, CITU, INTUC, the General secretary of AITUC's local unit V S Abishegam said the significant feature of tomorrow`s strike was it would be observed as a 12 hour bandh from 6 AM.

He said privately run transport services,staff and workers of the insurance sector, telecom department and bank staff would also respond to the call for the strike tomorrow.

He alleged that the NDA rule at the Centre was 'pampering' the capitalists at the cost of the labourers.

The stir tomorrow would be an eye opener for the Centre to refrain from 'ill conceived and anti labour stance', Abishegam said.
