Govt seen going full throttle on labour reforms in 2019
New Delhi: The Centre will spare no effort to push through some key labour reforms in the new year and is expected to get Parliament’s nod on at least two codes on wages as well as industrial relations before going to general elections. In line with the recommendations of the Second National Commission on Labour, the ministry has taken steps for formulating four labour codes on wages; industrial relations; social security and welfare; and occupational safety, health and working conditions by amalgamating, simplifying, and rationalising the relevant provisions of the existing central labour laws. After tripartite consultations with unions and employers, the ministry has circulated draft labour code on Social Security & Welfare Bill, 2018 for inter-ministerial consultation recently. This would facilitate member countries to share knowledge and also implement joint programmes on matter of labour and employment, social security and social dialogue. The ministry also included the category of ‘Fixed Term Employment Workman’ for all sectors in the Industrial Employment Act, 1946 and rules made there this year.
