Members of various trade unions joined the all-India strike against what they called the anti-labour and pro-privatisation policies of the Government in Belagavi on Monday.
They walked to the Deputy Commissioner’s office and formed a human chain at the Dharmaveer Sambhaji Circle.
They listened to speeches by their leaders. They dispersed after submitting a letter addressed to the Government. They held posters against privatisation of public sector undertakings and the dilution of labour laws. They also urged the Government to bring back the old pension scheme and end the new pension scheme.
