INTUC chairman writes to ILO on labour laws
Deccan ChronicleHYDERABAD: In a joint letter to the Director General of the International Labour Organisation, Dr G. Sanjeeva Reddy, chairman of the Central Trade Unions Coordination Committee of India, drew attention to the anti-worker provisions in the country's newly-promulgated four labour laws. Dr Sanjeeva Reddy, who is also president of the Indian National Trade Union Congress, asked for the addition of the Indian government’s violations of workers’ rights to be added to the agenda of the ongoing 111th International Labour Conference in Geneva. “Intuc firmly stands with its state branches and affiliates and federations and supports their demand that the ILC discuss the Indian government's attack on workers' rights. Under the new labour code, the term ‘factory’ excludes employers with less than 20 workers from any liability, the daily working hours have gone from eight to 12, with Maharashtra and Karnataka already in the process of implementing it.
