Workers plan strike against Labour Codes in India

Central Trade Unions (CTUs) are holding a national convention on March 18, 2025, to discuss a potential strike against four Labour Codes. This follows the government's firm stance on implementing these codes without proper discussions. CTUs criticized the government for not engaging in democratic procedures and for introducing the codes during a parliamentary walkout in 2020. They claim the codes favor employers and have not addressed their 17-point charter of demands. The convention aims to review the situation and plan future actions. A declaration outlining campaign programs will be adopted during the event.
