On 2 September 2016, an estimated 150 million to 180 million Indian public sector workers went on a 24-hour nationwide general strike against Prime Minister Narendra Modi's plans for increasing privatization and other economic policies. A total of ten trade unions participated. Many government-run locations and transportation services were closed. The strikers also protested in favour of social security, universal healthcare, and an increased minimum wage. The strike mainly took place in states where opposition parties were the most influential, such as Karnataka and Kerala. It was the largest strike in human history, until the 2020 Indian general strike.

  • La grève générale indienne de 2016 est un mouvement social ayant eu lieu le 2 septembre 2016. Elle s'inscrit dans un mouvement de protestation contre la loi sur le travail portée par le gouvernement de Narendra Modi et son parti, le BJP. Les manifestations qui accompagnent cette grève générale rassemblent, suivant les sources, entre 150 et 180 millions de travailleurs, ce qui en fait le plus grand mouvement social de l'histoire. (fr)
  • A greve geral de 2016 na Índia é possivelmente a maior greve da história da humanidade. A incerteza vem por conta da divergência de números: um milhão segundo o governo, 150 milhões segundo a imprensa econômica indiana e 180 milhões segundo sindicatos. A maior paralisação registrada até então foi a de maio de 1968 na França, à qual aderiram 11 milhões de trabalhadores. A greve geral ocorreu no dia 6 de setembro de 2016 convocada por dez sindicatos diferentes de funcionários públicos em protesto à política econômica do primeiro-ministro Narendra Modi, que incluía privatização de diversos serviços públicos e empresas estatais. Embora tenha durado um dia, seu impacto econômico foi avaliado em cerca de dois bilhões de dólares estadunidenses. (pt)
