As informed, the move comes in response to the call by four central unions at Coal India, including Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU), to which the Cochin Port Labour Union is affiliated.
The Economic Times reported that CITU, Hind Mazdoor Sabha (HMS), All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC) and Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC) have called for a two-day strike from January 8 demanding better working conditions, including pay hikes and higher pensions.
In addition, the unions want the sale of government stake to be stopped.
GAC宣布，Cochin港工會已召集其成員參加2019年1月8日和9日長達48小時的總罷工。
據了解，此舉是為了回應印度煤炭公司的四個中央工會的呼籲，其中包括科欽港工會所屬的印度工會中心（CITU）。
據“經濟時報”報導，CITU，Hind Mazdoor Sabha（HMS），全印度工會大會（AITUC）和印度全國工會大會（INTUC）已要求從1月8日開始為期兩天的罷工，要求改善工作條件，包括加薪和更高的養老金。
此外，工會希望停止出售政府股份。
