STRIKE is a very old and bad culture to go backeward. Our young generation should come forward to oppose worthless  strike.we will loss  10,000 crore for one day strike in India, plzthink about it.strike is destructive foolish politics and you can protest another way.who will get benifit from the strike ? do u know it?

its very unfortunate and sad that few peoples support strike.most of the peoples do not like strike.only very few persentage peoples like strike for their own interest.what are the result or output we get from strike?nothing can be solve by strike.only peoples are suffering from strike.it also create violence and agitation in healthy society.

Is strike legal or illegal in India?Answer:As long as the strike is not causing public inconvenience and stoppage of governance and public services and with out absenting to work ,strikes can be said to be legal provided if it is done democratically

but is it practically happen during strike?

Strike in violation of the law. Most public-sector strikes are illegal. Strikes that violate an existing labor contract, are not properly authorized by the union membership, or violate a court order are also illegal

 Strikes cannot be equated with bandhs,hartals: SCTIMES NEWS NETWORKNew Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday refused to equate ‘strike’ calls given by politicalparties and labour unions with ‘bandhs’ and ‘hartals’, the latter two being already bannedsince 1997 by judicial fiats. “Strikes are not prohibited under any law or court order,” said aBench comprising Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan and Justice P Sathasivam refusing toentertain a PIL, which alleged that strike, bandh and hartal all have identical effect on thecommon people deterring them from going about their normal daily work schedule.But, the Bench did not forget to take potshots at media reporting of its observation duringthe last hearing, when the PIL had sought banning of a strike call given by a groupsympathising with the Tamils in Sri Lanka and protesting against the death of innocentTamils caught in the cross-fire between LTTE and Lankan forces.When counsel AjitPudussery had on February 3 said the bandh call given by an umbrella organisation of political parties – Sri Lankan Tamils Protection Movement – would surely breach the apexcourt’s order approving the Kerala HC’s 1997 judgment banning bandhs and hartals, the CJIhad reacted sharply: “What has this court to do with stopping strikes? India is a democraticstate where everyone has a right to express their feelings.” When Puduserry attempted the same argument again on Monday, the petitioner waschided by the Bench for going to the press and trying to get some cheap publicity.Objecting to the manner in which reports were written on the basis of the Bench’sobservations, the CJI said: “Why did you go to the press, which even wrote editorials.” The Kerala HC judgment had said: “No political party or organisation can claim that it isentitled to paralyse industry and commerce in the entire state or nation and is entitled toprevent the citizens not in sympathy with its viewpoint from exercising their fundamentalright or from performing their duties for their own benefits or for the benefit of the state orthe nation.” “Such a claim would be unreasonable and could not be accepted as a legitimate exerciseof a fundamental right by a political party or those comprising it,” the HC had said gettingthunderous applause from millions across the country.Page 1of 1Strikes cannot be equated with bandhs, hartals: 

Labor StrikesA powerful bargaining tool of labor unions is a labor strike. Stopping productivity can be a nightmare for employers. For workers, there is no guarantee that the strike will work to produce the benefits the union is seeking. There is no compensation for the loss of wages while a worker is on strike.

Labor unions cannot guarantee your job if you strike. Your employer is not required by law to hire you back once the strike is over. He can choose instead to retain the worker that he hired to take your place. If this happens, your only hope of retaining your position is to be called back by your employer if that position becomes vacant again. While unions are known for providing job security, you don't enjoy security in the event of a strike.

labor strikes can be difficult for workers. Employers don't always meet the union's demands during strikes, and lost wages during strikes aren't recovered. Once the strike is over, union members have no guarantee that they'll even have a job to go back to because employers aren't required by law to rehire them.

 StrikesAnother potential drawback of joining a union is strikes. When labor unions are unable to achieve the aims of their members, the members may call for a strike. A strike is an intentional work stoppage aimed at stifling production and forcing employers to meet union demands. If you are a union worker, you could be forced to strike and lose income even if you do not agree with the decision to strike.

 Industry body ASSOCHAM said there was no justification for the strike which could have resulted in a national economic loss of about Rs 10,000 crore. It was totally uncalled for that put general public to inconvenience with crippled transport and banking services, said The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM).Tuesday, February 28, 2012

 Projected investment friendly state, West Bengal recorded highest number of mandays losses due to frequent bandhs to the tune of 23.75 million in 2007 against 1.25 million in 2006 , whereas other high industrially concentrated states of Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan witnessed mandays losses of only 1.41 million and 0.95 million respectively, said ASSOCHAM.

Apart from economic losses, bandhs have hampered the state's image as an ideal investment destination and these non-economic losses are perhaps more important in long-term perspective.

According to the ASSOCHAM paper, in contrast to West Bengal, states like Tamil Nadu , Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala witnessed man-days losses of only 1.14 million, 0.95 million, 0.34 million and 0.23 million, respectively. The survey further pointed out that there were 132 strikes (center and state) and 33 lock-outs affected the industrial units during January to December 2011.

West Bengal might be experiencing frequent bandhs by political parties and the losses would be certainly very high and the flow of investment may be impacted,” said Mr Rawat.

 Bengal is the state with maximum bandhs in India, where the average number of bandhs per year is 60-80 (ranging from a couple of hours to a maximum of 2 days per bandh).

Bandhs, Strikes and lock-outs result in work-stoppage which, in turn adversely affects production and disrupt the normal life. The loss of production not only reduces the profit-making capacity of a company but it also affects its goodwill.

STRIKE WAS ALMOST A FIRST RIGHT AVAILABLE TO EXPLOITED INDUSTRIAL WORKERS WITH THE START OF IND REVOLUTION. BEFORE THAT THEY WOULD BREAK FACTORY, KILL OWNER.
