Unions demand bold reforms to strengthen social security and tax fairness
Trade unions have put forward a series of demands to strengthen social security and ease financial burdens on workers. Their proposals include higher pensions, tax reforms targeting the wealthy, and reduced costs on essential goods. The calls aim to shift financial pressure from ordinary citizens to corporations and high-net-worth individuals.
Unions are pushing for a minimum monthly pension of Rs 9,000 for unorganised and agricultural workers, indexed to inflation. They also want this extended to EPFO pensioners, alongside the restoration of the old pension scheme. Regularisation of scheme workers and the removal of the gratuity ceiling were among other key requests.
The demands focus on redistributing financial responsibility while expanding social protections. If implemented, the measures would lift pension amounts, reduce living costs, and increase funding for public services. The unions’ proposals aim to create a fairer tax system and stronger safety nets for workers.
