Parliament passes labour Bills amid boycott

The Hindu  

Parliament on Wednesday passed three Bills that complete the government’s codification of 29 labour laws into four codes, with the Rajya Sabha passing the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 and the Social Security Code, 2020. Strike notice Responding to concern that the Industrial Relations Code had imposed a 14-day notice period for strikes, Mr. Gangwar said: “The government has not taken away the workers’ right to strike.” He added that the notice period gave the two parties a chance to resolve the dispute. Platform and gig workers were covered under the Social Security Code as well, giving the government the power to formulate social security schemes for them. The Social Security Code will extend the scope of the Employees State Insurance Corporation to all 740 districts in the country and that of the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation to all institutions with 20 or more workers as well the self-employed.
