It is reported in the press that the government is proposing to amend labour laws in this session of the Parliament. Named as Small Factories(Regulation of Employment and conditions of Services) Bill, it will remove small factories having  workers up to 40 from the ambit of the Industrial Dispute Act, Factories Act as also Payment of Wages Act. It will mean that the employers can deny minimum wage, EPF etc to the workers and labour officers can not intervene. Many other anti-labour clauses are included in the bill.
We strongly oppose the anti-worker bill.
It is sure that there will be strong opposition in the Parliament against this Bill.
