Major trade unions of coal sector Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) and Indian National Trade Union Congress  (INTUC) have decided not to attend the meeting convened by the coal ministry on Monday to discuss the September 2 strike, to protest against the proposed stake sale in Coal India.

“We will not attend the meeting today convened by the coal ministry,” CITU-backed All India Coal Workers' Federation General Secretary Jibon Roy said.

The operating trade unions in coal industry and common coal workers are against further 10 per cent disinvestment in Coal India Ltd. The main demands of the trade unions include stopping disinvestment of state/central government/public sector undertakings, and giving pension guarantee to all workers, among others.
