Contract workers should not be more than 50% of regular employees – new proposal?

The great success of the 2nd September 2015 National One Day Strike participated by more than 15 crore workers on their 12 point demands, has made the government to think. The withdrawal of the BMS on dictate from the RSS, did not had much impact on the strike. Many BMS units have gone on strike, despite the decision of the leaders.

Now, it is reported that the government is thinking about reducing  the  engagement of contract workers. At present, in many PSUs as well as in private sector, contract workers are engaged much more than the regular employees, that too at far below the wages of the regular employees. This has created much tension and anger.

The government,it is stated, is thinking of limiting the contract workers at 50% of the regular workforce and pay them minimum wage. But the demand of the trade unions are that the contract workers should be regularised and till that time, they should be given equal wages – Equal wage for equal work. The proposal of the government will not solve the problem. Neither will it end the exploitation of the contract workers.
