The proposed bill will meet tough resistance
by Aftab on May 09, 2015 10:51 AM

The proposed bill will wipe out trade union activities in 75% or more organisations as they employ less than 300 person.

In other words employees can not even go to labour court to readdress of their grievance.

Unemployed people like Arun Gopal Agarwal can not understand its repercussion.

I doubt that even trade union cell of BJP will agree to such proposal.

I fear that if such legislation is passed by both the houses, then the otherwise peaceful industrial environment will witness large scale of strikes and industrial unrest.

By the way these are not the demand of workers then who is behind such move. Guess. So the label that the government is working on behest of few and not for downtrodden will be hard to prove wrong.

Work culure
by arungopal agarwal on May 04, 2015 05:30 PM

Labour laws backed by unions are biggest obstacle in the work culture, work will be performed by work force only, even X is removed Y will have to be kept, country has mass un-employment. First ensure in govt. service-hire and fire for general or routine nature of job so that work culture improves, if uninterested, suspected corrupts or non performers are removed - heaven will not fall, ultimately interested work force will be employed.
Govt. is only to ensure compensation for such termination. Right to work as well as right to take work must be on equal footings.

Labour laws
by arungopal agarwal on May 04, 2015 10:12 AM  | Hide replies

They need drastic reforms, so far our laws had been working always against industry, and governing people, whereas in order to boost business, trade and industry-hire and fire is a must with suitable compensation.
Biggest agony is that even PM can not terminate a peon till legally proved his fault, which is most difficult to prove in years together. Suspected employees cannot be terminated/transferred without proper proof which is difficult to prove.
This approach has hampered our growth and right to work by the people who want to work.

Worker, Labor, employee should allow to make complaint against company in which they are working identity of the employee should be kept secret to avoid revenge taken by Company in which employee is working .Salary, Job security, exploitation by company policy, salary increment on time, HR policy, attrition rate, Appointment letter should be checked by government to insure to avoid employee exploitation in company is not going on in transparent way by government based on proof. In foreign country there is online portal of government where every employee can complaint for company based on proof company making profit but not giving to employee as justified salary.

Only those employers
by piri on May 03, 2015 02:53 PM  | Hide replies


with an exploitative and feudalistic mindset fail in Kerala !

Those capitalists who can see reason and are sagacious enough and also have adequate business acumen do succeed (and succeed big time) in the state of Kerala!

The most vivid example for this is the Kitex Group of companies (Kitex Garments, Kitex Ltd and Anna Aluminium company). Together, these companies employ more than 14000 people directly and more than 65000 indirectly.

In more than 40 years of their profitable and constantly growing existence in the world of business, these firms have not had a single instance of labour unrest of any kind. Situated in the *militant labour* heartland, that sure takes some doing!

And the Kitex group has some other distinctions too. Led as they were by a management that had / has a particularly firm determination not to bow the slightest to sleaze merchants in the administration for any reason, the Kitex group always went the extra mile and more to ensure that it abided in full by every rule, every clause, every sub-clause, every amendment and every notification of the Inspectorate of Factories, State and Central Pollution control boards, the department of Excise, the Sales Tax department, the income tax department, the ministry of labour, the dictums of the UN ILO, the notifications of the local Panchayats (district, block and Grama), the state ministry of health.......and every other conceivable office of authority that had the slightest of jurisdictions over their plants

On two occasions, when a few of those sleaze merchants (once from the Inspectorate of Factories and boilers and the second from the State pollution control board - both at the behest of pygmy politicians who were so deformed in their making that they could not see beyond their greedy desires) sought to harass the Kitex group using vaguely worded strictures that talked about imaginary violations, the latter promptly shut their units and moved the Kerala high court with a plea for a detailed inspection of their units under the supervision of the court !

And on both occasions, the bodies that sent out the strictures had to flee from the spot by withdrawing those strictures for fear of the court finding out their true intentions !

As regards those 14000 employees, one should actually interact with a few of them to know and understand how well they are taken care of and how well the managements are able to get the highest productivity in any industrial firm in the state from them !

Union are negative???
by Hitendra Singh on May 03, 2015 09:32 AM

Union if genuine,honest & positive are best for management-worker relations..
The only thing that is affecting one and all is delayed justice by court in disputes.
In civil cases evidence by affadavit should be made compulsary for settlement and judgement of cases..
The efforts of lawyers to take extention dates must be with heavy cost..
Outsiders except hired lawyers shud be banned..
Union funds must also be audited strictly..
This way both management and union can be made to conform to national interest..

Mr S.Gupta this is to remind you that you are impractical, illogical and less knowledgeable person to comment such. Ain't supporting any govt here. You go through the history of union movement that had made owner, both govt & pvt, to stop business. There are many instances on record where firms have been closed or operations stopped for many days due to the nuisance of trade unions and outsiders involved in it. Even murders have taken place and demolition of instruments in factories. Thereafter what happened is that workers became penniless due to no job. Many such workers have become hawkers. Nothing happens to the union leaders. The left party union leaders do the worst in name of socialism. Do you remember what happened in Suzuki factory in Haryana few years back? Maharashtra, Bihar, Bengal, UP people are the worst sufferers.

If the trade unions continue their vandalism, no one will come to start business in India. And you will see more and more unemployed youth. Population is increasing and so the number of educated persons growing. What will they do if there is no job? Learn something from the trade unions of Japan, S.Korea, Taiwan, Singapore. Leave China as it's not a democratic country. Thus they are so much economically ahead than us.
