&lt;em&gt;For once, Mamata does the right thing &amp;mdash; by laying down work rules for her employees&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Mamata Banerjee&amp;rsquo;s politics, in a word, could be called &amp;ldquo;populist&amp;rdquo;, in the absence of a well-formulated and well-enunciated agenda. In her last years in opposition, and now as chief minister of West Bengal, Banerjee has steadily positioned herself as &amp;ldquo;more left than the Left&amp;rdquo;. The Luddite politics of Singur, her stint as the most anti-reformist, statist railway minister in recent history, or her assault on FDI in retail, would bear testimony to that. Therefore, her government&amp;rsquo;s decision to cancel the extensive trade union rights of its employees comes as a break from both the chief minister&amp;rsquo;s consistent populism and lefter-than-Left political moulding.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
This decision is welcome, not merely because West Bengal would always have profited from a mellowing of its &amp;ldquo;cholchhe na, cholbe na&amp;rdquo; image and reality, but more so because there was something perverse about the 1981 grant of full trade union rights to state government employees by the Left Front government. That had engendered anytime, anywhere strikes by the government&amp;rsquo;s own employees, taking the state swiftly and steadily downhill. That 1981 clause, which Banerjee&amp;rsquo;s government is planning to withdraw, went against all good sense. The proposed amendment to the state service rules, to cancel that original amendment, is ostensibly aimed at &amp;ldquo;disciplining&amp;rdquo; government employees and &amp;ldquo;reducing&amp;rdquo; political influence on them. It will not go down well with hardened and professional unions that know better than most how to bring state-funded industry and services, transport, state-aided schools and colleges as well as government hospitals to a complete suspension of activity with or without notice. While not de-recognising state employees&amp;rsquo; unions, the reform will curb their disproportionate powers of blackmail and disruption by denying them the right to strike.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The employees&amp;rsquo; associations may have already threatened protests (there was already a general trade union strike planned for February 28), and the state government will take a lot of flak for the denial of &amp;ldquo;democratic rights&amp;rdquo;. But this is the moment for
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Mamata Banerjee to hold her nerve, and for her government to hold its ground. If the state employees can be made to change their work and political culture, a lot else can be reformed in Bengal.

This decision is welcome, not merely because West Bengal would always have profited from a mellowing of its &amp;ldquo;cholchhe na, cholbe na&amp;rdquo; image and reality, but more so because there was something perverse about the 1981 grant of full trade union rights to state government employees by the Left Front government.

This decision is welcome, not merely because West Bengal would always have profited from a mellowing of its &amp;ldquo;cholchhe na, cholbe na&amp;rdquo; image and reality, but more so because there was something perverse about the 1981 grant of full trade union rights to state government employees by the Left Front government. That had engendered anytime, anywhere strikes by the government&amp;rsquo;s own employees, taking the state swiftly and steadily downhill. That 1981 clause, which Banerjee&amp;rsquo;s government is planning to withdraw, went against all good sense. The proposed amendment to the state service rules, to cancel that original amendment, is ostensibly aimed at &amp;ldquo;disciplining&amp;rdquo; government employees and &amp;ldquo;reducing&amp;rdquo; political influence on them. It will not go down well with hardened and professional unions that know better than most how to bring state-funded industry and services, transport, state-aided schools and colleges as well as government hospitals to a complete suspension of activity with or without notice. While not de-recognising state employees&amp;rsquo; unions, the reform will curb their disproportionate powers of blackmail and disruption by denying them the right to strike.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;

Mamata Banerjee&amp;rsquo;s politics, in a word, could be called &amp;ldquo;populist&amp;rdquo;, in the absence of a well-formulated and well-enunciated agenda.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
This decision is welcome, not merely because West Bengal would always have profited from a mellowing of its &amp;ldquo;cholchhe na, cholbe na&amp;rdquo; image and reality, but more so because there was something perverse about the 1981 grant of full trade union rights to state government employees by the Left Front government.

That 1981 clause, which Banerjee&amp;rsquo;s government is planning to withdraw, went against all good sense. The proposed amendment to the state service rules, to cancel that original amendment, is ostensibly aimed at &amp;ldquo;disciplining&amp;rdquo; government employees and &amp;ldquo;reducing&amp;rdquo; political influence on them. It will not go down well with hardened and professional unions that know better than most how to bring state-funded industry and services, transport, state-aided schools and colleges as well as government hospitals to a complete suspension of activity with or without notice. While not de-recognising state employees&amp;rsquo; unions, the reform will curb their disproportionate powers of blackmail and disruption by denying them the right to strike.

For once, Mamata does the right thing &amp;mdash; by laying down work rules for her employees





Mamata Banerjee&amp;rsquo;s politics, in a word, could be called &amp;ldquo;populist&amp;rdquo;, in the absence of a well-formulated and well-enunciated agenda. In her last years...&#039;,

In her last years in opposition, and now as chief minister of West Bengal, Banerjee has steadily positioned herself as &amp;ldquo;more left than the Left&amp;rdquo;. The Luddite politics of Singur, her stint as the most anti-reformist, statist railway minister in recent history, or her assault on FDI in retail, would bear testimony to that. Therefore, her government&amp;rsquo;s decision to cancel the extensive trade union rights of its employees comes as a break from both the chief minister&amp;rsquo;s consistent populism and lefter-than-Left political moulding.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;This decision is welcome, not merely because West Bengal would always have profited from a mellowing of its &amp;ldquo;cholchhe na, cholbe na&amp;rdquo; image and reality, but more so because there was something perverse about the 1981 grant of full trade union rights to state government employees by the Left Front government. That had engendered anytime, anywhere strikes by the government&amp;rsquo;s own employees, taking the state swiftly and steadily downhill. That 1981 clause, which Banerjee&amp;rsquo;s government is planning to withdraw, went against all good sense. The proposed amendment to the state service rules, to cancel that original amendment, is ostensibly aimed at &amp;ldquo;disciplining&amp;rdquo; government employees and &amp;ldquo;reducing&amp;rdquo; political influence on them. It will not go down well with hardened and professional unions that know better than most how to bring state-funded industry and services, transport, state-aided schools and colleges as well as government hospitals to a complete suspension of activity with or without notice. While not de-recognising state employees&amp;rsquo; unions, the reform will curb their disproportionate powers of blackmail and disruption by denying them the right to strike.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;The employees&amp;rsquo; associations may have already threatened protests (there was already a general trade union strike planned for February 28), and the state government will take a lot of flak for the denial of &amp;ldquo;democratic rights&amp;rdquo;.

Mamata Banerjee&rsquo;s politics, in a word, could be called &ldquo;populist&rdquo;, in the absence of a well-formulated and well-enunciated agenda.

The Luddite politics of Singur, her stint as the most anti-reformist, statist railway minister in recent history, or her assault on FDI in retail, would bear testimony to that.

This decision is welcome, not merely because West Bengal would always have profited from a mellowing of its &ldquo;cholchhe na, cholbe na&rdquo; image and reality, but more so because there was something perverse about the 1981 grant of full trade union rights to state government employees by the Left Front government. That had engendered anytime, anywhere strikes by the government&rsquo;s own employees, taking the state swiftly and steadily downhill. That 1981 clause, which Banerjee&rsquo;s government is planning to withdraw, went against all good sense. The proposed amendment to the state service rules, to cancel that original amendment, is ostensibly aimed at &ldquo;disciplining&rdquo; government employees and &ldquo;reducing&rdquo; political influence on them. It will not go down well with hardened and professional unions that know better than most how to bring state-funded industry and services, transport, state-aided schools and colleges as well as government hospitals to a complete suspension of activity with or without notice. While not de-recognising state employees&rsquo; unions, the reform will curb their disproportionate powers of blackmail and disruption by denying them the right to strike.

Didi, don’t roll back

-The Indian Express   For once, Mamata does the right thing — by laying down work rules for her employees Mamata Banerjee’s politics, in a word, could be called “populist”, in the absence of a well-formulated and well-enunciated agenda. In her last years in opposition, and now as chief minister of West Bengal, Banerjee has steadily positioned herself as “more left than the Left”. The Luddite politics of Singur, her stint as the most anti-reformist, statist railway minister in recent history, or her assault on FDI in retail, would bear testimony to that. Therefore, her government’s decision to cancel the extensive trade union rights of its employees comes as a break from both the chief minister’s consistent populism and lefter-than-Left political moulding. This decision is welcome, not merely because West Bengal would always have profited from a mellowing of its “cholchhe na, cholbe na” image and reality, but more so because there was something perverse about the 1981 grant of full trade union rights to state government employees by the Left Front government. That had engendered anytime, anywhere strikes by the government’s own employees, taking the state swiftly and steadily downhill. That 1981 clause, which Banerjee’s government is planning to withdraw, went against all good sense. The proposed amendment to the state service rules, to cancel that original amendment, is ostensibly aimed at “disciplining” government employees and “reducing” political influence on them. It will not go down well with hardened and professional unions that know better than most how to bring state-funded industry and services, transport, state-aided schools and colleges as well as government hospitals to a complete suspension of activity with or without notice. While not de-recognising state employees’ unions, the reform will curb their disproportionate powers of blackmail and disruption by denying them the right to strike. The employees’ associations may have already threatened protests (there was already a general trade union strike planned for February 28), and the state government will take a lot of flak for the denial of “democratic rights”. But this is the moment for Mamata Banerjee to hold her nerve, and for her government to hold its ground. If the state employees can be made to change their work and political culture, a lot else can be reformed in Bengal.
