Trade unions urge Gangwar to reschedule May Day webinar

Central trade unions have urged Labour Minister Santosh Gangwar to reschedule the webinar with them and employers' bodies on May 1.

They have also demanded more time to trade union representatives to express their views in the webinar.

In a joint letter shot off by 10 unions to Gangwar, they said, "We all remain engaged on this day. Despite new situation with restrictions imposed due to Covid-19... we have already designed our activities, therefore keeping this meeting on this day is not acceptable to us. Please change the date from 1st May to any other date from 2nd May onwards."
