The unions are unhappy with the Centre’s decision to appoint Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh-supported trade union Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS) as the chair of the L20. The CTUs complained that the International Trade Unions Confederation (ITUC) used to chair the L20 meetings and the BMS was not a member of the ITUC. Mr. Pandya said the trade unions themselves discussed these issues. Union Labour Minister Bhupendra Yadav and Union Minister of State for Labour Rameshwar Teli and Labour Minister of Bihar government Surendra Ram will address the summit on Friday.
