July 9 Bharat Bandh: On Wednesday, more than 25 crore workers, including those in public service industries like banking, insurance, postal, and construction, are scheduled to go on strike nationwide.
Since many workers from various unions will be protesting the “anti-worker, anti-farmer, and anti-national pro-corporate policies of the government,” tomorrow’s Bharat Bandh could likely cause service disruptions throughout the nation.
Ten central trade unions and their affiliates have called for a “Bharat Bandh,” or general strike, on July 9.
In a statement, the forum called on employees to make “the nationwide general strike a grand success.” Additionally, it stated that unions are making preparations in every area of the formal and informal/unorganized economy.
It is anticipated that over 25 crore workers will participate in the walkout. PTI cited Amarjeet Kaur of the All India Trade Union Congress as saying, “Farmers and rural workers will also join the protest across the country.
