'Changes to Labour laws will suppress voice of workers'

[Informalisation and Labour Rights - Related News]

The proposed move by the Centre to bring in amendment to Labour laws came under criticism from trade unions during the May Day celebrations here on Monday. Addressing a rally by workers of Tata Marcopolo Private Limited under the aegis of the TUCI-affiliated Krantikari Kamagar Union, TUCI State Secretary K.B. Gonal called upon the working class to oppose the Union government's move to amend nearly 44 labour laws and bring into force only four labour codes. These codes are detrimental for the prospects of the labour class and they would suppress the voice of the workers, he said.
