Full text of statement issued by Alberta Union of Labour Relations Professionals (AULReP) reads as follows:-
Alberta Union of Labour Relations Professionals (AULReP) firmly express its solidarity with the over 250 million kisaans (farmers) and workers who have been on strike and have taken various peaceful actions in India against the Government of India’s capitalist reforms. AULReP also firmly condemns the violent repression of kisaans, workers, and trade unionists in India by the Indian government and its armed forces.
These pro-capitalist laws will destroy farming communities and will allow private corporations to exploit farmers and workers for profit. The laws will push more farmers into debt who will then be forced to sell their livelihoods to large private businesses and corporations. This will further increase the already alarming rates of farmer suicides in India.
