Trade unions have called for a nationwide strike on Thursday, demanding the repeal of four new labor codes. However, the strike failed to have any impact on West Bengal, and the situation remains completely normal. Government and private offices are operating normally.
No Impact of the Strike in Bengal
Fourteen central trade unions have jointly called for the strike. These trade unions are demanding the repeal of the four new labor codes and the repeal of policies affecting workers and farmers. Employee and teacher organizations have also supported the strike. However, Bengal, once a stronghold of left parties, appears to be unaffected by the strike.
The situation in the capital, Kolkata, and other districts appears to be completely normal. Schools and colleges are open.
However, the SFI, the student wing of the CPI(M), demonstrated in support of the strike at the gates of Jadavpur University and Presidency University. A heavy police force was deployed during the protest.
Amarjeet Kaur, General Secretary of the All India Trade Union Congress, says that approximately 300 million workers are supporting the strike.
Claims of widespread impact of the strike in these states
Trade unions allege that the central government's policies are anti-worker, anti-farmer, anti-national, and pro-corporate. Amarjeet Kaur, General Secretary of the All India Trade Union Congress, claims that the strike is having a widespread impact in Assam, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Kerala, Odisha, and Bihar. The strike has had a widespread impact in Kerala, severely disrupting normal life there.
