ALL INDIA RAILWAYMENS FEDERATION
The General Secretaries,



All Affiliated Unions,

Dear Coms.,

Sub: All India General Strike – 7th September, 2010

As you are aware, as per the call given by the Central

Trade Unions in their National Convention held on 15th July,

2010, in New Delhi, all the Central Trade Unions are preparing

in full swing for “All India General Strike” on 7th September,

2010.



AIRF fully supports the call given by the Central Trade

Unions and directs its cadre to stage demonstrations/dharnas

all over the Indian Railways against – (i) Price-rise, (ii) Violation

of Labour Laws, (iii) Sale of profit making PSUs, (iv) Effect of

recession, generating unemployment and social security to

unorganized workforce, and (v) Outsourcing, etc. etc. all over

the country by holding massive rallies and demonstrations.



It was discussed and agreed that the Railwaymen cannot

participate in eight-hour strike. Therefore, through the sort of

withdrawal of labour, we should give our all morale support to

the strikers.
