The Committee to look in to the Wage Code Bill and Small Factories Bill headed by Finance Minister Arun Jaitely is reported to meet on 15th September to discuss the same.
The Wage Code is intended to reduce 44 important existing labour laws in to 4 wage codes, including taking away many hard won gains of workers. The Small Factory Bill is intended to take away many social securities of the workers in that sector.
The Central Trade Unions have opposed these measures and had gone on strike on 2nd September 2016. The government so far had not accepted any demand including on minimum wage.
The anti-worker character of the government is exposed.
