Massive National Convention of Workers came down heavily on the anti-poor and anti-worker policies of the NDA government.

The 10 central trade unions, viz., INTUC, AITUC, HMS, CITU, AIUTUC, TUCC, SEWA, AICCTU, UTUC and LPF, together with independent federations of employees and workers, conducted a massive National Convention of Workers at New Delhi on 08-08-2017. Thousands of workers participated in the convention, which was held at Talkatora Indoor Stadium. The participation in the convention was so massive that, thousands of workers could not enter the stadium, since it had become full. A presidium, consisting of the presidents of all the 10 central trade unions, presided over the convention. It was addressed by Dr. G. Sanjeeva Reddy (INTUC), com. Amarjit Kaur (AITUC), com. Tapan Sen (CITU), com. H.S. Siddhu (HMS) and many others. The speakers severely criticised the economic policies of the Narendra Modi government, which is only enabling the corporates and the rich to maximise their profits. Failure to generate employment, control price rise and attacks on the public sector came under severe criticism. The speakers also unleashed bitter criticism on the government and the ruling party, for dividing the working masses in the name of religions. Finally, the convention unanimously adopted a declaration, laying the blue print for fighting against the anti-poor and anti-worker economic policies of the government.<<views of the programme>>
