The trade unions, including RSS-affiliated Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS), have raised objections to a fresh draft of The Factories Amendment Bill that has included all the points for which recommendations were "unanimously rejected" by parliamentary standing committee on labour. After a meeting of all 11 trade unions with the labour ministry on Wednesday, the BMS issued a long and detailed statement by terming it "highly objectionable."
