 | Central trade unions have termed the response to the strike as unprecedented with about 6 crore workers from both organized and unorganized sectors joining the strike. |
 | AISGEF along with other national federations and central trade unions have said that this historic strike is a stern warning to the Government against its anti-people policies otherwise the working class would be compelled to launch much bigger struggles. |
 | The trade unions urged the government and the corporate sector to take lesson from the challenging success of the strike and change these anti-worker policies. |

Trade Unions (background) (5425 words) |
 | Trade unions are unique organisations whose role is variously interpreted and understood by different interest groups in the society. |
 | Trade unions through industrial action (such as protests and strikes) and political action (influencing Government policy) establish minimum economic and legal conditions and restrain abuse of labour wherever the labour is organised. |
 | Trade unions are also seen as moral institutions, which will uplift the weak and downtrodden and render them the place, the dignity and justice they deserve. |
