The seven party Alliance and CPN (M) have signed a Second Agreement. Please find below the Second Agreement as well as previous 12 point agreement between Seven Party Alliance and CPN(M) in Nepal.

Royal Regime has finally imposed an ordinance to amend existing Labour Law. The Draconian Law brings forth a number of ill-intentioned provisions against basic rights of Nepali Workers. The contents are- Hire and Fire, No work No Pay, Complex CBA process to ban strike, provision of EPZ/FTZ and anti--labour contract policies.

Fully tilted to the employers and kicking to the basic interest of the workers, the ordinance completely denies any provision for social protection.
It is injustice and unfair! We workers have been left with NO option than to reject, challenge and knockout this ordinance.

To oppose this, Trade Union Centres have planned March 18 as the Nation-wide Day for grand mobilisation. Let us join it!!!

Alliance discusses proposed protest programme

Sunday's meeting of the taskforce of the agitating seven-party alliance discussed various programmes to be organised before and after a joint rally scheduled in the capital for April 8 for the restoration of complete democracy.

The meeting will also continue today as well. A meeting of the alliance's top leaders o­n March 6 had decided to oraganise a joint rally in the capital o­n
April 8, coinciding with the day of lifting of the 30-year of ban o­n political parties in 1990.

Committee for Asian Women (CAW) wishes to convey heartfelt sisterhood and comradely solidarity to all our Nepali working women on this historical occasion of International Working Women's Day 8 March 2006. We recognise that amidst neo-liberal globalisation and the growing  intervention of the  imperialist power in Asian region, many Asian women  are facing increasing threat to their  livelihood, increasing job insecurity and are forced to live extremely hard  lives. For a country like Nepal, which has been facing a century-long absolute poverty and unemployment, the situation is getting worse every day with the current political situation. There is absence of full democracy and human rights after the autocratic king took over state power. Since 1 Feb 2005, o­ne can see that the autocratic regime and its illegal government neither seems keen to resolve the decade long armed conflict even if the insurgents come up with unilateral ceasefire nor implement pro- people livelihood programmes and restore full democracy in Nepal.
