On 7 September 2010 Indian workers staged the world’s biggest ever strike, with an estimated 100 million workers taking part in a 24 hour strike. This year, all major trade union federations* in India have called another general strike for 28 February. Indian workers are expected to come out in huge numbers once again
Increasing integration into the global capitalist economy is impacting severely on workers. Workers in India are now seeing increasing casualisation of jobs, a constant downward pressure on wages, and increasing work pressures to keep up with world’s best standards
The strike’s demands include: Increase the minimum wage; Greater employment protection; An end to contracting out & outsourcing of jobs; Social security for unorganised & informal workers
