The Hindu: “Public sector banking operations remained paralysed throughout the country while transport services were hit in some States as the nationwide 24-hour strike called by 11 major trade unions evoked a mixed response.
…
Central trade unions have sponsored the strike demanding guarantee of labour rights, end to the contract labour system, bringing workers in the unorganised sector under the social security net and pension benefit for all workers.”
