Coal India workers call for pan-India stir on September 2

NEW DELHI: workers will go on a nation-wide on September 2 to mark their protest against further divestment and strategic sale in the sector.

“We have received a communication of notice… for strike on September 2. Efforts are being made for conciliation process,” Coal India said in a regulatory filing today.

“In case they resort to strike, it will affect product and dispatch of coal.”

In September last year, a majority of about 4 lakh coal workers across the country had gone on strike called by trade unions, which hit the production level in a big way.

The strike call was given by major trade unions like , and CITU to pitch for their demands that included opposition to any further stake sale in Coal India.

Nearly 5 lakh bank union workers and officers are set to join the strike called by trade unions on September 2 to protest against what they call “anti-people policies of the and labour reforms”.
