More than 25 crore workers from sectors such as banking, insurance, postal services, coal mining and highways, among others, have called for a nationwide general strike on Wednesday, July 9.
The strike, called by a forum of 10 central trade unions, has been organised to protest against the “pro-corporate policies” of the government. In view of the Bharat Bandh, the trade unions have been mobilising support across both organised and unorganised sectors.
