Trade unions of Madehs-based parties have called for the strike for the third consecutive day on Sunday, opposing the agreement.



The workers hired on daily wages basis will not be provided with their salaries during the strike as the government has already endorsed the policy of ´no work, no pay´ in the industrial sector.



In the corridor, among 50,000 total laborers, nearly 40,000 workers have been working on daily wages basis.
