Citu, the trade union arm of the CPM, is apparently holding talks with the American Federation of Labour (AFL) to collaborate and tie up with their counterparts. Incidentally, Citu has asked for AFL’s cooperation in organizing and implementing a nationwide campaign against Wal-Mart’s entry into the Indian market.
M.K Pandhey, Citu President said that AFL delegates will attend our national conference in New Delhi in January 2007. They will make presentations highlighting instances of Wal-Mart’s anti-employee stance across its retail chain in the US.
