The Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) has formally petitioned the International Labour Organization (ILO) regarding alleged violations of workers' rights by the Indian Union and the Uttar Pradesh government, particularly in the industrial areas of Noida and Greater Noida. In its complaint to the ILO's Committee on Freedom of Association (CFA), CITU has expressed serious concerns about what it describes as 'grave, widespread, and systematic violations' of essential workers' rights, including the freedom of association, the right to organize, the right to collective bargaining, and the right to peaceful assembly. CITU is urging the ILO to accept its complaint under the Freedom of Association procedure, asserting that both the Indian Union and the Uttar Pradesh government are in violation of fundamental ILO principles. This action highlights ongoing tensions between labor rights and governmental policies in India.
