The country is moving towards complete privatisation, Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) State president T.P. Ramakrishnan has said.
He was opening a trade union solidarity meet organised by the Kozhikode district unit of the Kerala Union of Working Journalists and the Kerala Newspaper Employees Federation ahead of the general strike on July 9, outside the Calicut Press Club on Tuesday (July 8).
Mr. Ramakrishnan alleged that corporatisation had crept into many sectors, pointing out that the Union government had been implementing policies that would help monopoly capital and privatisation. He claimed that the reforms in the pension system would prove detrimental to the interests of the working class as they would defeat the purpose of the concept of pension. Mr. Ramakrishnan said that the labour codes launched by the Centre would hurt all sections of employees, including those in the media. It would curtail most of the hard-earned rights of the working class, he added.
