All central trade unions, including the Congress-backed Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC), will organise a countrywide protest on June 23 against rising petro-product prices. The move to hike diesel, kerosene and LPG prices after petrol is sure to fuel a further rise in commodity prices, said a joint statement issued by all the trade unions after a joint meeting here on Monday. They also decided to support the strike by bank employees on July 7 and the agitation by coal sector workers, who are meeting on June 27 to decide on their future course of action.
