The Central Trade Unions have already protested by our joint letter dt.25.11.2022 against the letter from Mr. Rajiv Mishra, Sr. Advisor, Dept of Economic Affairs of your Ministry on 24th November 2022 at about 2.13 pm, enclosing a letter dt.10.11.2022, inviting Trade Unions and Labour Organizations for Pre-Budget consultation Meeting on virtual mode on 28th November for 75 minutes between 11:00 am to 12.15 pm. We already had expressed our apprehension that 75 minutes for more than 12 Central Trade Unions to express their views and demands for the 23-24 budget will hardly suffice.
