New Delhi: The nationwide strike called by trade unions on Wednesday had little impact on the presence in areas along the banking sector, which was looking at the highest level of absence at around 33%.Estimates from 20 major cities across the country available with the Center have shown that areas like railway, once controlled by unions, had no effects, as also with airport and power, including airport and power.Certainly there were pockets – such as Kolkata, Asansol and Chennai – where banks and insurance companies were affected.After both the banks, coal and mines and mines and after gas, both absence, there were insurance (16%). But it was not important to affect operations. In any case, with electronic clearing and fund transfer and use of ATMs, bank strikes are no longer disruptive to citizens as they were in the past.Numbers in most cities indicate that unions have lost their appeal among workers. More than 200 unions from diverse industries in the form of defense for many banks and ports and oil and gas decided against participating in the nationwide strike.The strike was called against the four labor codes created by the Center, which have not yet been implemented as the states are still in dialogue.Unions are hurt to gather workers and to provide significant rest in many provisions to move forward and amend their labor laws – to allow women to work in the night shift to increase the sorting limit without government’s approval from 100 to 300 workers.In addition, only a handful of states have not responded to labor codes, and that too for political reasons, because most of them pursue investments, where companies often seek flexibility and lower inspector rule.
