Mysuru: The two-day 4th state-level convention of All India United Trade Union Centre (AIUTUC), began at Town Hall in the heart of the city yesterday.
Inaugurating the State Conference, AIUTUC President K. Radhakrishna pointed out the severity of the job crisis in the country. He said that permanent nature of jobs are disappearing, while most of the jobs are being outsourced to third party agencies. In the name of Fixed Term Employment (FTI) big private multinationals are forcing the desperate youths to work for a bare minimal salary which cannot suffice their livelihoods. This has been the result of the Liberalisation, Privatisation, Globalisation (LPG) policies introduced by the then Congress Government in the 1990s. On the other hand, the BJP not only took advantage and continued the LPG policies, but also made it worse for the youths by amending the labour laws and turning them into 4 labour codes.
