Coal workers’ one-day strike politically motivated, not enough to resist FDI: BMS
The RSS-controlled trade union Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS) said on Friday that the one-day strike called by various coal workers’ federation, scheduled for September 24, is “politically-motivated”.
BMS leader in-charge of public sector enterprises, BK Rai, told BusinessLine that the strike is eyeing the upcoming Assembly elections in Jharkhand.
‘One day not enough’
Rai, agreeing with the issues raised by other trade unions, said the one-day strike is not enough to resist 100 per cent FDI in coal mining. “The Centre will not budge until and unless the coal sector is shut at least for 15 days. For this, the trade unions need public support,” Rai said.
