AITUC State president Ravula Ravindranath has ridiculed the Centre for reducing labour laws into four Labour Codes allegedly to benefit employers.
Mr. Ravindranath inaugurated the seventh day of the relay hunger strike being organised to oppose the privatisation of the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP), at the Gandhi statue near the GVMC building here on Thursday.
Addressing the protesting workers, Mr. Ravindranath alleged that the Centre was trying to hand over the nation’s public assets to corporate firms as part of which it was planning to privatise Visakhapatnam Steel Plant, Railways, BSNL, oil sector and defence. “It has brought out three Farm Laws to benefit the corporate groups while depriving farmers of their rights,” he added.
