Truck strikeBy: gns | Wednesday , 7 Jan '09 2:33:46 AM Reply | Forward In public statements,Congress says they are for AAM AADMI but in reality they react more quickly when rich are hurt.Look at ATF duty cuts,duty-free import of computers/laptops but NOT ordinary tools required by India's millions of artisans.They have no schools to learn the trade and most of them make their own tools for want of standard tools in shops.Poor people are harassed for minor or even imaginary offences.can any one tell me why auto drivers have to wear a Khaki coat in hot Indian weather but NOT those driving private cars ? Every day you see workers NOT wearing ANY safety gear while working in the open hot weather or doing dirty jobs ( no shoes,no gloves,no safe eye-wear etc., ).I don't really know whether the communists are text-book proletariates or demonstrate their concern for poor people.This strike must continue till all tolls,octroi posts are abolished,service taxes scrapped and all future taxes should be collected at one-go while buying trucks to avoid harassment.

Needs transparencyBy: P.Kulandavelu | Tuesday , 6 Jan '09 20:10:08 PM Reply | Forward It is really pity that because of lorries strike there is a daily loss of Rs ten thousand crores .One thing we could not understand.Every time when some kind of strike declared by the unions,talks between the unions and Government are going on.But we don't know what they are talking,no details to the public is disclosed.Ok.then strike starts and after three or four days the strike callls off after some settlement.My question is this settlement, can't they arrive before strike starts?Full details of the failure in talks or full details of the settlements after strike call off are never known to the public.Unless these facts are known to the public,if the strikers give the daily loss how they willl get the sympathy from public.Any how surely strike will be called off with in short period after some settlements let us hope.
