Indian dock workers to continue strike in US

The Hindu reported that Indian dock workers, who have been demanding that they be allowed to stay in US until an inquiry against a company which allegedly exploited them is completed, vowed to continue their hunger strike even after 4 of them were hospitalized. They are on strike for the past 11 days.

As per report, Mr Christopher Glory, who was hospitalized after being diagnosed with erratic blood pressure on the eighth day of the stir to press action against Signal International and its Indian recruiters, was discharged from the hospital.
