Heights of Hypocrisy !!

The CITU and other "trade unions" have called for a nation wide general strike (also known as bandh/Harthal) on Dec 14th 2006. I read a news paper report today in which the CITU general secretary has requested the railways not to run the trains especially in West Bengal on Dec 14th to "avoid inconvenience for the passengers"!!!!. What gall !! Announce a strike to disrupt normal life and then talk about caring for peoples "convenience" !!
