FNPO affiliated unions Divisional /Branch/Circle secretaries are organised successful strike across the country. Though our Federation issued strike notice in the last minute our colleagues made the strike successful in the base.
During Verification process our sister unions played all sort of misdeeds in the Branches / Divisions this has resulted in wide gap between sister unions and us.
Our Federation explains the reasons for participating 2 September 2015 strike to the colleagues through circulars and e mails. Some of the colleagues are not agreeing with Federation but organized strike well in their Circle/Divisions/Branches. Our Federation conveys its sincere thanks to all our colleagues to made the strike success.

Yours fraternally,
D.Thegarajan.
