A joint platform of 10 central trade unions across the country has announced a 'Bharat Bandh' today i.e. on 9 July 2025. More than 25 crore workers will participate in this strike. These will include workers from sectors like banks, postal, coal mining, insurance, electricity and construction.
Amarjit Kaur, a member of the All India Trade Union Congress, said that farmers and rural laborers will also join this bandh. The unions say that this strike is a big step against the policies of the government, which are taking away the rights of laborers and farmers.
Which sectors will be affected? Major points
The Bank Employees Union has confirmed that employees of the banking sector will also join this bandh.
Although no official bank holiday has been declared, bank services may be disrupted. According to the Bengal Provincial Bank Employees Union, employees of the insurance sector may also participate in the strike.
Power services may also be affected due to 27 lakh workers of the power sector joining the strike.
Railway services will continue, but some delays are expected due to this strike.
But the strike will affect public transport.
Schools and colleges will remain open as usual, as no holiday has been declared.
The trade unions have demanded to eliminate unemployment, increase the number of working days and wages in MNREGA, and create more jobs.
The unions say that the government's four new labor laws take away the rights of workers, eliminate collective bargaining and increase working hours.
The unions accused the government of favoring employers in the name of "ease of doing business".
They say that the new labor laws protect employers from accountability, which is unfair to workers.
The forum of 10 central trade unions has appealed to the workers to make this strike a "great success". The unions say that this strike will force the government to accept their demands.
