Coal India staff call for all-India strike on Sept 2

NEW DELHI: Coal India workers will go on a nationwide strike on September 2 to mark their protest against further divestment and strategic sale in the sector. “We have received a communication of notice... for strike on September 2. Efforts are being made for conciliation process,” Coal India said on Saturday. “In case they resort to strike, it will affect product and dispatch of coal.” In September last year, about 4 lakh coal workers had gone on strike called by trade unions, which hit the production level in a big way.
