Insurance employees’ token strike on March 9

Hyderabad: Deploring the passage of the Insurance Laws (Amendment) Bill in the Lok Sabha, the employees working in Life Insurance Corporation and public sector general insurance companies have decided to go on one-day token strike on March 9.

The insurance employees appealed to the people to shun the private sector insurance companies, though the government opened the doors to them. The insurance employees will continue to campaign against “this retrograde move of the government and in defense of public sector insurance industry”, All India Insurance Employees’ Association general secretary K Venu Gopal has stated in a pressnote here on Friday.
