AILRSA South Zonal Committee Notice
Dear Comrades,
The working class of our country is going for a nation-wide strike on 09/07/25 against the anti- worker, anti- democratic policies and plans being adopted in our country. Even though railway employees are not participating in the strike, the various trade unions have decided to express solidarity to the strike.
The deliberation meeting of the joint trade unions held TCR, which was attended by Com. K C James (Secretary General/ AILRSA) on behalf of AILRSA, decided to campaign and express solidarity for the strike. The meeting decided to campaign among the workers raising the labour issues in railways, in addition to the 17 points general demands, like stop privatisation, contractualization and outsourcing, fill up all vacancies, increase posts to meet the increase in traffic, allow equal benefits to fixed term employees and contract workers as allowed to permanent employees, regularise contact workers, restore OPS to all, railway administration ensure fair wage to coolie porters, parcel porters & catering workers, restore travel concessions, provide adequate travel facilities to railway users etc.
The AILRSA/ ZS committee draws everybody’s attention towards our CWC decision, taken in the meeting held at New Delhi on 10th & 11th April 2025, to organize solidarity action to the proposed General Strike and to campaign the relation between the policies and sufferings of railway men.
SZ committee appeals to all the Divisional Committees and comrades to ensure our spirited participation in all the joint campaigns and the solidarity demonstrations, on the decided date in each Division, at all places across SR including badge wearing on 09/07/2025. Wherever joint programmes cannot be held, ensure AILRSA conducts solidarity demonstrations in front of all crew booking offices.
With revolutionary greetings
General Secretary
