In response to the Indian government’s recent actions in amending labour laws to make it easier to dismiss workers and restrict workers’ rights to organise, a general strike has been called for Wednesday the 2 September. All the major 11 central trade union federations will take part as well as countless regional and local labour organisations. The strike will also be against an expanding policy of privatisation of public assets. The turnout for the strike is expected to be as big as those in 2012 and in 2013 that set a record for the biggest strikes in world history.
