The economy, already battling a slowdown, can&#8217;t afford such a situation as it would worsen price pressures by disrupting the supply of essential commodities, it said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/online.wsj.com\/article\/SB10001424127887323495104578313670512348596.html\">Read More from The Wall Street Journal<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This strike not only stands to cost India a lot of money as a country during these strike days, but it also hurts customers around the world with freight in India. During these 2 days there will be very little moving to or within India and that could cause companies trying to get shipments delivered to customers of theirs within India to fail on their contracts. Please be cautious of this strike and be sure to ask for updates on anything you expected to deliver in India during these days.<\/p>\n<p>Contact me at tacord@supfrt.com<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"zemanta-related-title\" style=\"font-size: 1em;\">Related articles<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul zemanta-article-ul-image\" style=\"margin: 0; padding: 0; overflow: hidden;\">\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\" style=\"padding: 0; background: none; float: left; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; width: 84px; font-size: 11px; margin: 2px 10px 10px 2px;\"><a style=\"padding: 2px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/news.in.msn.com\/business\/article.aspx?cp-documentid=252267165\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; width: 80px;\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/i.zemanta.com\/146435069_80_80.jpg\" \/><\/a><a style=\"overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none; line-height: 12pt; height: 80px; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px;\" href=\"http:\/\/news.in.msn.com\/business\/article.aspx?cp-documentid=252267165\" target=\"_blank\">Assocham appeals to trade unions to call off strike<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\" style=\"padding: 0; background: none; float: left; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; width: 84px; font-size: 11px; margin: 2px 10px 10px 2px;\"><a style=\"padding: 2px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thehindu.com\/news\/cities\/Mangalore\/trade-union-strike-likely-to-bring-industrial-activity-to-a-standstill\/article4427487.ece\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; width: 80px;\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/i.zemanta.com\/146153212_80_80.jpg\" \/><\/a><a style=\"overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none; line-height: 12pt; height: 80px; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thehindu.com\/news\/cities\/Mangalore\/trade-union-strike-likely-to-bring-industrial-activity-to-a-standstill\/article4427487.ece\" target=\"_blank\">Trade union strike likely to bring industrial activity to a standstill<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\" style=\"padding: 0; background: none; float: left; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; width: 84px; font-size: 11px; margin: 2px 10px 10px 2px;\"><a style=\"padding: 2px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/ibnlive.in.com\/news\/pm-appeals-to-trade-unions-to-call-off-strike\/373471-37-64.html\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; width: 80px;\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/i.zemanta.com\/146053550_80_80.jpg\" \/><\/a><a style=\"overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none; line-height: 12pt; height: 80px; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px;\" href=\"http:\/\/ibnlive.in.com\/news\/pm-appeals-to-trade-unions-to-call-off-strike\/373471-37-64.html\" target=\"_blank\">PM appeals to trade unions to call off strike<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/?px\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"border: none; float: right;\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_e.png?x-id=81422ebf-7896-441e-8206-2706afb7f4aa\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>photo credit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/joiseyshowaa\/2402764792\/\">joiseyshowaa<\/a> via <a href=\"http:\/\/photopin.com\">photopin<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/2.0\/\">cc<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unions for Major Industries in India Call for Strike.
