CITU Plans December 1 Parliament March Demanding Labour Reforms and Higher Wages
The Centre for India Trade Unions (CITU), backed by CPI(M), announced a December 1 Parliament march demanding a Rs 42,000 minimum wage, repeal of four labour codes, restoration of MGNREGA, and other worker benefits. The march aims to unite workers, farmers, students, and others against government policies, including opposition to the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. Preparations involve nationwide mobilization, with significant participation expected. The union cited recent successful strikes, such as in Haryana, as examples of effective collective action.
