Should we start a General worker's strike to demand lower taxes, worker rights, rationalization of subsidies etc?
The middle class workers make almost all of the organized workforce, if you only include tax payers then we are 60% of the organized workforce. We have issue with working conditions, working hours, taxes by government, no job stability etc nevermind pollution in cities and awful infra. At this point, should we not lead a general strike to demand our rights, like if all of us go to strike especially workers in relevant sectors like manufacturing, IT, Law, Medicine etc. Our demands will be simple, 1. Better working conditions. 2. Proper implementation of a 48 hours work week. 3. Right to disconnect. 4. Lower taxes on fuel, cars and individual income. 5. A Nation assurance to taxpayers that if in case they loose job and cannot find an another one then for 6 months government supports them providing a cushion in unstable corporate sector and it will increase our bargaining power with employers too. I believe democracy will only benefit the ones who are either in majority, which we are not or the one who can pay politicians for election campaigns. Most of India is very low income which deserve support but we have our concerns too which government needs to address, if our strike is successful it will set a massive example. What do you people think about it?2
