SRI LANKA - A WARNING FOR KERALA

What is being happened in Sri Lanka should be an eye opener for the people of  Kerala. As did the Lankans the successive governments in Kerala are accumulating unbearable debt over the people. Every government is taking loans from all available sources without making any effort for repayment of atleast their share of the debt. The state of Kerala is infact surviving by the money sent by the Keralites working abroad. The prime revenue of the state other than taxes and duties are from liquor and lottery. Despite blessed with a God's Own Land we could not draw tourists from abroad to our normal potential. Despite having one of the finest infrastructure of our country and having adequate number of qualified youth we could not produce goods and services and sell abroad.

We are contented with writing on all our walls, erecting flags all over, delivering non-stop speeches as loud as possible  and celebrating as many days as possible with hartal, bundhs, rallies and processions. Neither the people not the government is doing any result oriented effort to raise the per capita income of the state. We must warn ourselves with a Sri Lanka in our close vicinity.

DO WE NEED TRADE UNIONS ANY MORE?

Image
Finally the communist government have forced to impose curbs on the Trade Unions in the state to mitigate the unbearable actions taken by them. Trade Unions have come into being when employees were put on hardships by the employers. The time have been changed since then. Now it is our own government and our own laws. All safety, security and welfare measures are ensured for the employee of all types. No third party is now required to safeguard justice for employees. Appropriate forums are established for employees to register their complaints either singularly or jointly. Therefore, as far as employees are concerned, they do not need any assistance from Trade Unions today. Trade Unions are now functioning as power centres of political parties. If the government is willing to stand with the people, then they can ban all Trade Unions activities in the state/country. Trade Unions today make negative contributions to the economy of the state and the country as a whole. Infact t
