Newsclick interviewed A.K.Padmanabhan, All India President of the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) on the upcoming All India General Strike on September 2 announced by 11 central trade unions. Padmanabhan said that the strike is not a secluded incident but a by-product of a long campaign against the neo-liberal policies imposed in 1991. He said the upcoming strike would be the sixth time when 11 major central trade unions have come together on a common platform. Explaining the charter of demands, Padmanabhan said the trade unions have put forward 12 demands to the central government this time, in comparison to the 10 demands they had put forth during the last strike (2013). The reason for the addition of two extra demands is the pro-corporate policy adopted by the incumbent BJP government
