It's is indeed a step forward towards official recognition of the "Paschim Bango Dugdha Silpa Sramik Karmachari Union" (PBDSSKU). Com Molay Nandy, General Secretary of the organization has done the tier-less job of registering the organization under the Registrar of Trade Unions, Govt. of West Bengal, within a very short period of time.
The formation of this organization inspires thousands of dairy workers working under the precarious condition in West Bengal. Mostly the daily rated, contractual & contract workers mostly unorganized are engaged to carryout the bulk portion of the jobs in different categories in the dairy sector . These kind of workers are also engaged in the village, district and state level milk co-operatives beside the private sector. Despite their hard & tireless job, they don't get the statutory yearly leave, specific working hour, medical benefits and most importantly don't earned their wages as per the applicable minimum wages act.
It is the leadership of the "West Bengal State Dairy Employees' Federation" visualized the need of the hour is to unite these unorganized workers, scattered all over West Bengal, under the fold of a separate state level trade union namely the P.B.D.S.S.K.Union. This newly formed trade union after taking the affiliation of the "WBSDEF" shall act simultaneously with the other organized trade unions functional in the dairy sector.
The fundamental objective behind forming such a separate trade union are,
1) to combat the new business Technics of engaging daily rated workers in every stages and sphere of production to reduce the cost of production by means of ruthless exploitation of labor.
2) to generate united struggle to safeguard the interest of the unorganized workers jointly with the organized workers against the ruthless attack and onslaught of the new business Technic of the management.
3) to practice and make understand, the organized and as well as the unorganized workers that without united struggle even the organized workers of the dairy industry are unable to protect it's financial privileges and therefore vulnerable to attack of new Technics of the management.
4) to arm the dairy workers with the working class political philosophy with the aim to dislodge the hegemony of global capitalist system replaced by socialist mode of production system in general.
