Central trade unions refuse to call off September 2 strike

The meeting between central trade unions and group of ministers headed by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley over the labour reforms remained inconclusive on Thursday. The central trade unions had given a call of strike on September 2 to protest against the proposed labour reforms.<br/><br/>Talking to AIR, All India Trade Union Congress Secretary D. L. Sachdev said that there was no consensus or any concert proposal form the government in the meeting. He said the call for the strike still stands and trade unions will meet on Friday to chalk out their future course of action.<br/><br/>Earlier the group of ministers had met with the trade union leaders to break the logjam on their 12-point charter of demands but meeting failed to make any headway.
