Buddhadeb’s efforts to break deadlock over jute strike fail

Special Correspondent

KOLKATA: West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee’s efforts to break the deadlock over the continuing jute strike failed to yield any result.

The indefinite strike began on December 14, 2009 affecting 2.5 lakh workmen all over the State.

Emerging from the meeting, which was held at the secretariat on Friday, representatives of the 20 trade unions who took part in the bipartite meeting said that Mr. Bhattacharjee said that he would take up the issues with the mill-owners.

“Our strike will continue and we will not give up,” Subrata Mukherjee INTUC leader said.

All the Central trade unions are participating in the strike although the Trinamool Congress-affiliated Indian National Trinamool Trade Union Congress has stayed away from it.

The strike was called to press for implementation of earlier accords and for payment of arrears.
