Trade unions in India have put forward demands for a super-rich tax and social security reforms in their pre-budget discussions. Unions are urging the government to impose higher taxes on the wealthy, with the aim of addressing growing income inequality and generating funds for social welfare schemes. The call for a “super-rich tax” comes as unions push for better social security measures, including universal pension schemes and healthcare reforms for workers. Trade unions also advocate for greater protection of workers' rights, especially in light of the challenges posed by economic shifts and rising job insecurity. These demands reflect the broader concern about wealth distribution and social protection in India’s economic framework.
