BMS, which withdrew from the September 2,2015 General strike at the last moment has again joined the mainstream of the working class in the country, as the government presses for labour reforms. The NDA government’s pursuit of contentious labour law reforms such as easier norms for hiring and firing workers has compelled all the central trade unions, including the RSS- affiliated Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS) to join hands again to discuss a collective course of action.

Shri. B. N. Rai, President, BMS said that all Central Trade Union leaders would meet on 27th January, 2016 to take on the legislative changes proposed by the government and review the progress on their larger charter of demands presented to the government.
