Bigger actions after 'magnificent success' of strike: Left

February 21, 2013 17:41

Describing the two-day nation-wide general strike as the "biggest" working class action since Independence, Left parties today warned the government that "bigger actions" will follow if demands raised by workers are not immediately met.

In a joint statement, CPI(M), CPI, RSP and Forward Bloc said the strike has been historic as all Central Trade Unions gave a joint call for the first time for the two-day strike.

"This makes it the biggest working class action since Independence. The Central government has to immediately address the demands raised and take steps to fulfil them, otherwise bigger actions will follow. This is a wake-up call to stop the anti-people and anti-working class policies," it said.
