Explained: Labour Codes, its Phased Introduction, and Upcoming General Strike -Ronak Chhabra

-Newsclick.in

The latest discussion over the Codes, if true, clearly indicates a crucial shift in the position of the Central government. What does this shift mean for trade unions, which have given a call for two-day nationwide strike on February 23 and 24.

New Delhi: On Wednesday, a major Indian business newspaper reported that the Union Ministry of Labour and Employment was considering introducing the four controversial Labour Codes in a staggered way, beginning with the bringing in of at least two of them in the next fiscal.

The idea, according to the report which quoted a senior government official aware of the deliberations, is to get going on the Codes, which have been pending for implementation since more than a year now. This is even as no final decision has been taken on the matter as yet.

However, the latest discussion over Codes, if true, clearly indicates a crucial shift in the position of the Central government: from 2020, when the then Labour Minister Santosh Gangwar targeted to implement all the four Codes in one go by December of that year. Incidentally, the ministry has, since then, missed at least three more deadlines – April 2021, July-August 2021, and October 2021.

What has stopped the Central government from introducing the four Codes, which were once – and still – hailed by its mandarins as a “much-needed-reforms”  directed towards deregulating labour law restrictions to enable creation of “more jobs” as well as “ease of doing business”? What does the shift – if any – in its thinking also mean for central trade unions, which continue to remain up in arms against the subsuming of Central labour enactments into Codes?
