Labour Bills meets with protest
The HinduThe government on Tuesday introduced the Code on Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Bill, 2019 and the Code on Wages Bill, 2019 in the Lok Sabha amid protests from the Opposition that move was being made at the behest of employers and not trade unions. Opposing the introduction of the Bill, Adhir Ranjan Chowdury, Leader of the Congress in the Lok Sabha, said that the Bills should be sent to a Standing Committee for scrutiny. ‘Consultations held’ Mr. Gangwar said the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code was sent to the Standing Committee during the previous Lok Sabha, adding that the legislation had been drafted after consulting 13 workers’ organisations and that he would try to assuage concerns raised by the members. On opposition to the introduction of the Bill, especially the Occupational Safety and Health Code, Mr. Gangwar asked the House to allow the introduction of the Bills, for the House to take a call later.
