Published by Parlour News

The Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) has demanded that the Haryana government extend the deadline for suggestions on draft Labour Code rules and publish them in Hindi, calling the current process a violation of workers’ rights. CITU state general secretary Jai Bhagwan and vice president Satveer Singh submitted a memorandum to Deputy Labour Commissioner Paramjit Dhull in Chandigarh in the absence of the State Labour Commissioner. The Union said the Haryana administration released draft rules for the Code on Wages on May 4, Industrial Relations Code on May 5, and Social Security Code on May 7, with a one-month window for amendments.

This amounts to a disregard for the fundamental rights of workers,” the leaders said. They also argued that no consultations were held with trade unions or employer representatives …
