New Delhi, Jun 10 (KNN) Welcoming the proposed amendments in key labour laws by the Government of Rajasthan, referring to them as bold and positive measures, President, All India Organisation of Employers (AIOE), Sanjay Bhatia has said that they would promote employment generation in the State.
“Changes in Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 related to time limit of 3 years for raising disputes, raise limit from 15 per cent of workers to 30 per cent for registration as representative union and no government permission required for retrenchment of up to 300 workers (up from 100) in addition to changes in Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970 and Factories Act, 1948 will have positive effect in the coming days,” said a FICCI release quoting Bhatia today.
Bhatia further stated that introducing the system of 'strike notice' and 'strike ballot', which is in vogue in all the developed economies would curb the number of unwanted and unjustified strikes, causing huge losses to economy, hence, these changes in the Industrial Disputes Act,1947 are necessary.
With 100 million target of employment generation and increasing the share of manufacturing in the GDP from existing 16 per cent to 25 per cent, these amendments in the labour laws are critical.
Bhatia hopes that other State Governments will fall in line. Similarly, AIOE also hopes that the central government will take the necessary action. (KNN/ES)
