Building a Wider
Horizon With Labour
As per the labour department, migrant workers would be provided with an ID card, given government allowances in addition to other benefits. However, only a few are aware of these schemes. Of the 1.29 lakh migrant workers in Coimbatore, only 2,000 have applied for government benefits. Department officials and activists said factory owners are aware of these schemes, but they do not inform their workers.
