On February 18, fourteen labour organisations held a
one day meeting in New Delhi to discuss the state of the workers movement in
India and possible ways forward.
While in the last few years there have been incredible struggles like
the Maruti, the Pricol and the Anganwadi workers, these either only
gain temporary victories or face the full repressive force of the state.
The workshop saw that the main issues that workers are facing are low
wages, precarious work contracts and unfair labour laws. The outcome was a
commitment to support workers in struggle, and those who are in jail, and to
better co-ordinate the various labour struggles.
