May day wishes and stand of AIAPS against anti-labour policies

During 1886 May 1st, because of the continuous struggles and protests at Chicago, America and other countries, after sacrificing so many lives, 8 hours work, 8hours rest, 8 hours sleep was ensured to all the labours by law.

   But for the past 4 years that hard earned 8 hours work labour right was blown into wind after CBS, CIS, CSI at DOP.

   Nowadays our DOP staffs are habituated to work for more than 10 hours by losing our hard earned labour right for nothing.

   If down time faced in CBS, CIS, CSI, then that should be definitely compensated at any cost. That was also not claimed by us.
