March 07, 2015 17:25

CITU today termed as "deplorable"the NDA government's act of getting the insurance bill passed in the Lok Sabha despite opposition from all trade unions, and extended its support to the one-day nationwide strike call given by insurance sector employees on March 9

"CITU denounces the NDA government's deplorable act of getting the Insurance Law (Amendment) Bill 2015 passed in the Lok Sabha by neglecting the opposition by all trade unions and the public sector insurance workers and in dangerous disregard of democratic parliamentary propriety," the Centre of Indian Trade Unions said in a statement.

Welcoming the call given by insurance sector employees for a day's nationwide strike on March 9 against the government action, CITU appealed to all trade unions irrespective of affiliations to organise solidarity actions in support of the strike.
