INTUC not to participate in Sept 7 nationwide strike

Hyderabad: Indian National Trade Union
Congress members will not participate in the proposed
nation-wide general strike called by central trade unions on
September 7, INTUC president Ambati Krishnamurthy said here
today.

A decision to not participate in the proposed general
strike was taken in the national executive meeting of INTUC
held in the first week of August at Delhi, he told reporters
here.

The general strike has been called by rival unions to
destabilise the UPA government, he said.

Central trade unions and workers and employees
Federations have called the strike on September 7 protesting
the rise in prices of essential commodities and petroleum
products.
