Members of various trade unions and employees associations took out protest marches and staged demonstrations across the district and taluk headquarters in Haveri, Gadag and Dharwad districts on Monday in response to a nation-wide strike call given by the Joint Committee of Trade Unions (JCTU).
The JCTU has given the call in protest against what it termed as anti-people, anti-farmer, anti-worker policies of the Union Government and has sought repeal of a few laws and fulfilment of various demands.
In Hubballi, the trade union members belonging to various sectors, including, banking, insurance, telecommunication, transport, apart from those from unorganised sectors, street vendors, autorickshaw drivers and others, took out a protest march on the thoroughfares of the city.
