India's Labour Law Fix Sparks Worker Fury
Event Summary
India's Parliament has passed an amendment to the 2020 Industrial Relations Code to explicitly confirm the repeal of three colonial-era labour laws, solidifying a major regulatory overhaul. The government says this provides 'legal certainty' for businesses. The move occurs three months after the four new Labour Codes took effect and on the same day as a nationwide workers' strike, signalling deep conflict over the reforms.
Government & Business Supporters
"Views the reforms as a necessary simplification to boost investment, create jobs, and provide legal certainty for businesses and social security for workers."
Trade Unions & Critics
"Sees the Labour Codes as a sweeping rollback of worker protections that dismantles job security and the right to collective action."
