Five trade unions operating in Coal India (CIL) and its subsidiaries have served a strike notice against a proposed 5 per cent stake sale in the state miner.<\/p>\n
The five trade unions – Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC), Hind Mazdoor Sabha (HMS), Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS), AICWF and All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC)- represent about 90 per cent of CIL’s 383,000-strong workforce.<\/p>\n
In a filing to the Bombay Stock Exchange, the PSU said: “Five central trade unions operating in Coal India and its subsidiaries have served strike notice for three days with effect from September 23 to 25 against proposed disinvestment of 5 per cent of CIL shares and other demands.”<\/p>\n
CIL also said the All India Coal Workers’ Federation (CITU) is understood to have decided to withdraw their three-days strike slated to start September 19, and join other unions in the strike beginning September 23.<\/p>\n
CIL, the world’s largest miner producing over 80 per cent of India’s coal, produced 452.21 million tonnes in 2012-13. The threatened strike is estimated to hit output to the tune of more than Rs 500 crore.<\/p>\n
