<h1>Industrial workers forced to work 14-16 hours daily without overtime pay during nationwide strike</h1> Industrial workers in a coastal state are allegedly forced to work 14-16 hours daily without overtime pay, according to a trade union leader. During a nationwide strike protesting anti-labor policies, the union official criticized government inaction on worker complaints and accused authorities of using emergency legislation to prevent pharmaceutical sector strikes.
