Three Labour Codes under different stages of formulation: Government

The government Monday said four Labour Codes have been drafted after exhaustive consultations with various stakeholders and three of them are at different stages of formulation. The Code on Industrial Relations, The Code on Occupational Safety, Health & Working Conditions, and the Code on Social Security are at different stages of formulation, Minister of State for Labour and Employment Santosh Kumar Gangwar said in the Lok Sabha. These Codes are being made by simplifying, amalgamating and rationalising relevant provisions of the existing central labour laws, the minister said. "Out of the existing Central Labour Acts, about 17 are more than 50 years old and a few of them are even 70 years old," Gangwar said.
