       Dear friends the seminar on present and future economy and 

labour problems was organised by Ambekar institute of labour studies ,

 ILR Mumbai and FES New Delhi held at Bangalore on 18th and 19th. 

In the Seminar INTUC   Aiutc  and various other trade union leaders
 participated. On behalf of FNPO I attended . There were serious and 
elaborate deliberations were carried out. I was part of one of the 
panel for discussion and I explainedabout the present economic 
scenario of the country. During 2008 the country was able to  get 
through the recession because the buying power of the citizens 
was good and the country was then not depend upon exports alone.

 But present situation is different . It's said in India at present buying 

power reduced by thirty percent and various policies of the government

 have  affected real estate, Various other Sectors  and demand is reduced . 

Hence this time we are facing the heat of recession.
 The first hit will be on working class and many have already  lost 
and will  lose jobs in various sectors. About these aspects thorough
 discussion was carried out. The conclusion drawn

 was that in the changed scenario the need of the hour is consolidation of

 trade union activities/movement.  It was agreed to form.JCA comprising 

all trade unions whether it is organised ,unorganised state and  Central 
government employees. It's agreed that for any cause all trade unions 
should work in unity for common causes keeping aside  idealogical 
differences.Thus the discussion was exhaustive and very effective.
