ILO asks India to reaffirm trade union rights

New Delhi Aug. 24. The International Labour Organisation (ILO) has asked the Government of India to take urgent steps to reaffirm trade union rights and restore industrial relations in Tamil Nadu.

The ILO's intervention comes in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling denying the Government employees their right to strike and the Tamil Nadu Government's response to its employees and teachers' demand for restoration of the curtailed benefits.

Copies of the ILO's letter to the Indian authorities were circulated by the INTUC president, G. Sanjeeva Reddy, at a meeting of the trade unions here.
