Government employees and many of those working in the private sector are on a one-day countrywide general strike under the banner of eight major trade unions including Congress-affiliated INTUC against price rise, violation of labour laws and disinvestment of PSUs.
Government employess are the protected species and as far as price rise is concerned they are the ones who are relatively least affected and a bandh hits the common men the hardest- especially the millions of daily wage earners.In West Bengal we have already three such bandhs in the last one month!!!
What do those people after all achieve after keeping thousands of passengers stranded at the airports & railway stations??
After all what did the poor daily-wage laborers get from these useless commies after supporting them(apart from the fact that the commies gained cheap publicity)?
