Memorandum

Subject: -   Stop repression of worker’s movement in SIDCUL Pantnagar  , Uttarkhand.

Sir,

 The incidents of repression of worker’s movement are increasing day by day in the state of uttarkhand. The labor laws are not being implemented and police force is being used usually to deal with worker’s movement. In a recent incident of SIDCUL Pant Nagar Industrial belt, when a worker in a vendor company of TATA namely  Automotive stumping and assembling limited  (ASAAL) was killed due to negligence of management on 30.05.2013 , other co-workers of the company started agitation. It is pertinent to mention here that workers in this company are agitating for their demand, since a long time. There is an illegal practice of not employing permanent workers and keep them for a long period as trainee. In most of the cases it goes upto three years. This practice of employing workers was declared illegal by the deputy labor commissioner Rudrapur. However, on 28.05.2013 remaining long serving 170 trainees were fired by the management of ASAAL and unit was started with new trainees and due to this negligent act of the management, the above mentioned accident killing a worker happen.

The workers of the company started agitation demanding appropriate compensation to the   dependant of the killed worker and implementation of labor laws in the company. They were demanding regularization of long serving workers, who are still working there as trainee even after three years of their employment. Uttarakhand government and its labor department are in hand-in glove with the factory management and they did not address the demand of the workers and resorted to police repression , by arresting 98 workers  under apprehension to breach of peace implying section151 on 06 and 07 June 2013. They have been arrested under section151, however they have not been released till today, and this shows the total apathy of administration towards worker’s rights.

We undersigned demand that:-

All arrested workers are released immediately.

Illegal practice of hiring trainee is stopped immediately and workers be regularized immediately.

Stop police atrocity on worker’s movement.

Thanking you

Raise the red flag high

Call for 'All India Bandh' by the central trade union is an occasion for the workers to show their united strength to the capitalist class. The Bnadh call by all central trade union is a big opportunity to show the revolutionary zeal of the workers. Capitalist class wants to extract last drop of blood from a worker's body to augment his super profit. Job security and legal protections of labor laws have vanished in the era of new economic policy where every thing won over by the struggle of the worker's martyrs have been snatched by the ruling capitalist class. Contract labor is not an exception in the factories but , it has become rule for hiring workers.Mr. Manmohan singh ; prime minister of India in a recent labor conference has shamelessly disclosed nefarious design of ruling capitalist class. They want to snatch all those which is still existing in the name of worker's protection in law book of the Indian state. Mr. Prime minister has accused the so called labor protection regime for slow pace of economic growth. Worker's right to get their union registered has been taken away by the covert state policy to not to register new trade union.

Central trade unions policies of compromise and surrender has given edge to the ruling capitalist class.

Now , it is time to raise and turn the tide in favor of working class.

Let us join the hand to make 28 February 'All India Bandh' a great success by seizing the opportunity in worker's hand for bright future ahead. Let the Bandh become a mile stone for future struggle of working class to make a society based on equality. Socialism is only way out for the emancipation of workers from yoke of capitalism.

Workers of the world get united!

Long live revolution.
