Jobs and Justice Manifesto
Over the last three decades the advanced capitalist countries have tried to overcome the recurrent crisis of overproduction and to keep their economies and profits growing through the neoliberal offensive of exploiting cheap labor, seizing raw materials and dominating markets across the globe. Since the 1990s, they have resorted more and more to financial devices: speculative profits and debt-driven consumption and production.

The trading community and associations of street vendors successfully organized the All India Trade Strike
Most of the corporate stores (Including Bharti-WalMart) decided to remain closed as a precautionary measure. Protests were also organized in front of Wal-Mart stores in Kota, Amritsar and Raipur. Protests were also held in front of the two stores of carrefour in Delhi and Jaipur. A clash between the protesters and police took place at the Wal Mart store in Kota. Over 15 people, including five policemen, were reported to be injured in the incident. At the parliamentary front, the political opposition intensified and the Indian Parliament could not function for the eighth consecutive day as the Govt. refuses to roll back the cabinet decision to allow FDI in Retail.

against FDI in Retail. Tens of millions of outlets remained closed throughout India. No major market opened in any Indian city. The strike was near complete in big cities including Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Delhi, Hyderabad, Shimla, Lucknow, Jaipur, Kota, Kanpur, Amritsar, Ludhiana, and Varanasi. We congratulate all our allies for the unprecedented resistance against superstores.
