AITUC asks government to not delay welfare board for unorganised sector

The Hindu  

The CPI-affiliated AITUC has urged the government to urgently implement the long-pending plea for a welfare board for unorganised labourers. The AITUC general council, which held a meeting presided by Dinesh Ponnaiah, AITUC president, passed a resolution asking the government to not delay any further the establishment of a welfare board that would extend a social security net for more than 40,000 workers in the unorganised sector across diverse vocations. Pointing out that the government, which had announced the constitution of a welfare board following a long workers’ struggle, the proposal was yet to take off. The government should immediately set up a welfare board and allocated adequate funds, the resolution said.
