Rallies Of Unorganized Sector Workers
Formation Of Asom State Council Of NTUI
Asom Mojuri Shramik Union,the organization of downtrodden workers of unorganized sectors, has organized three consecutive rallies at the District Headquarters of Barak Valley ---- Karimganj, Hailakandi and Silchar on 6th, 7th & 8th September,2013 respectively. As the Union is affiliated to New Trade Union Initiative (NTUI), the All India Secretary Comrade Gautam Modi from New Delhi attended the Convention and delivered speeches at Hailakandi and Silchar rallies.
He has given a vivid idea on the background of formation of NTUI. It was, indeed, necessary to form an independent Trade Union forum at this juncture when most of the Trade Unions are catering the needs of respective political parties only. While
discussing about the political scenario vis-à-vis struggle of
working class in the country, he pointed out the different movements of working
class and toiling masses over the world. The President of Paschimbanga Cha Shramik Karmachari
Union & a renowned leftist intellectual Comrade Vaskar Nandy
has
highlighted the wretched condition of workers in Tea Gardens, in different
Industrial Sectors and peasantry. He also spoke on the adverse effects of neo-liberal
economic policy adopted in the country and the heinous conspiracy of imperialism
throughout the world. Comrade Robson
Munda, President of Bagicha Shramik Sangstha has put forward his deliberation in
‘Sadri’, the mother tongue of most of the Tea Garden workers of the Valley,
which was hailed by them. He reiterated for a united movement of Barak and
Brahmaputra Valley Tea Garden workers to
make a better living condition and
also to uplift the great cultural heritage as well as provision of educational
facilities in respective mother tongue. Both Comrades Nandy and Munda delivered
their speeches in all the three meetings. Comrade
