INDIA, JUL 9 – Over 250 million workers and farmers across sectors plan to strike against four labour codes and privatisation policies they say harm job security and wages, organisers said.
- A nationwide general strike called Bharat Bandh is scheduled on July 9, 2025, involving over 25 crore workers across India.
- The strike arises from trade unions' demands for minimum wage fixes and grievances over the government's pro-corporate and anti-worker policies.
- Key sectors such as banking, insurance, postal, coal mining, factories, transport, and electricity will likely be disrupted with farmers and rural workers joining protests.
- Harbhajan Singh Sidhu highlighted that sectors such as banks, postal services, coal mining, manufacturing units, and state-run transport will experience disruptions, while Amarjeet Kaur mentioned that the strike is anticipated to involve over 250 million workers nationwide.
- The strike is likely to cause major interruptions to essential services and everyday routines, drawing attention to workers' grievances over job cuts, insufficient wage adjustments, and the absence of a labour conference for more than ten years.
