The capitalist system is in a deep crisis. The burden of this crisis is being shifted onto the shoulders of the working class. While the wealth of the capitalists gets multiplied every year, workers face denial of decent wages, social security, health care, trade union rights and increased work load. Throughout the world, the working class is fighting against this exploitation. The World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) is spearheading these world wide struggles of the working class. October 3^rd, is the foundation day of the WFTU. Every year the foundation day of the WFTU is being observed as “International Action Day”. This year also, the WFTU has called on the trade unions throughout the world, to observe 3rd October as the International Action Day. The WFTU has directed to observe the day by highlighting the demand for better working conditions through implementation of a decent wage, reduced working hours, social security, healthcare, etc. Accepting the call of the WFTU, the CEC meeting of BSNLEU held at Kolkata, has decided to observe International Action Day programme in 8 cities, viz., Kolkata, Pune, Chennai, Trivandrum, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Vijayawada and Guwahati. Demonstrations and seminars will be organised on this day. The CHQ calls upon the concerned circle unions to immediately start the preparations for making the International Action Day programme a grand success. Reports and photos should be shared with the CHQ, which will be sent to the WFTU head quarters
