&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;In the name of simplification and universalisation, the new labour codes will likely result in increased worker exploitation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Indian government has brought out four labour codes with the stated objective to rationalise and simplify the existing 44 labour laws. It is a welcome initiative to consolidate and simplify the delivery of justice to the working class. The four labour codes relate to wages, industrial relations, social security and welfare and occupational safety, health and working conditions&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the current Lok Sabha session, the Wage Code Bill and the Code on Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Bill have been approved by the Union cabinet and will now be introduced in the parliament.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The new labour codes provide for the ease of business, strengthening the role of the employers. However, in the name of simplification and efficiency, they erode all the gains the working class has fought for in the past 70 years. A close analysis of these codes explains that they are more pro-employer and rather than decrease, they will end up increasing exploitation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The draft Labour Code on Social Security and Welfare seeks to replace 15 laws on social security, including the Employee Provident Fund Act, Employee State Insurance Act, Maternity Benefit Act, Payment of Gratuity Act, Employees Compensation Act, Building and Other Construction Workers Act and various other Welfare Cess/Fund Acts. This code is proposed to be applied to both organised and unorganised workers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;BOCW Act&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The existing Building and Other Construction Workers (BOCW) Act will be repealed under the Social Security Bill. The Act was made possible following an 11-year struggle of workers between 1985 and 1996, and many benefits currently available under it for construction workers would not exist under the social security code.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Repealing BOCW will have a disastrous impact on construction workers as registrations of around four crore such workers will lapse. It will also lead to the closure of 36 state BOCW boards. All the construction workers will have to newly register themselves with the proposed state welfare boards. These state boards will also include other unorganised sector workers and all of them will be registered at the same place.&lt;br /&gt;

It is a welcome initiative to consolidate and simplify the delivery of justice to the working class. The four labour codes relate to wages, industrial relations, social security and welfare and occupational safety, health and working conditions&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the current Lok Sabha session, the Wage Code Bill and the Code on Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Bill have been approved by the Union cabinet and will now be introduced in the parliament.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new labour codes provide for the ease of business, strengthening the role of the employers. However, in the name of simplification and efficiency, they erode all the gains the working class has fought for in the past 70 years. A close analysis of these codes explains that they are more pro-employer and rather than decrease, they will end up increasing exploitation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The draft Labour Code on Social Security and Welfare seeks to replace 15 laws on social security, including the Employee Provident Fund Act, Employee State Insurance Act, Maternity Benefit Act, Payment of Gratuity Act, Employees Compensation Act, Building and Other Construction Workers Act and various other Welfare Cess/Fund Acts. This code is proposed to be applied to both organised and unorganised workers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;BOCW Act&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The existing Building and Other Construction Workers (BOCW) Act will be repealed under the Social Security Bill. The Act was made possible following an 11-year struggle of workers between 1985 and 1996, and many benefits currently available under it for construction workers would not exist under the social security code.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Repealing BOCW will have a disastrous impact on construction workers as registrations of around four crore such workers will lapse. It will also lead to the closure of 36 state BOCW boards. All the construction workers will have to newly register themselves with the proposed state welfare boards. These state boards will also include other unorganised sector workers and all of them will be registered at the same place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://thewire.in/labour/repealing-the-construction-workers-act-under-new-labour-codes-will-prove-disastrous&quot; title=&quot;https://thewire.in/labour/repealing-the-construction-workers-act-under-new-labour-codes-will-prove-disastrous&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;In the name of simplification and universalisation, the new labour codes will likely result in increased worker exploitation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Indian government has brought out four labour codes with the stated objective to rationalise and simplify the existing 44 labour laws. It is a welcome initiative to consolidate and simplify the delivery of justice to the working class. The four labour codes relate to wages, industrial relations, social security and welfare and occupational safety, health and working conditions&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the current Lok Sabha session, the Wage Code Bill and the Code on Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Bill have been approved by the Union cabinet and will now be introduced in the parliament.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The new labour codes provide for the ease of business, strengthening the role of the employers. However, in the name of simplification and efficiency, they erode all the gains the working class has fought for in the past 70 years. A close analysis of these codes explains that they are more pro-employer and rather than decrease, they will end up increasing exploitation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The draft Labour Code on Social Security and Welfare seeks to replace 15 laws on social security, including the Employee Provident Fund Act, Employee State Insurance Act, Maternity Benefit Act, Payment of Gratuity Act, Employees Compensation Act, Building and Other Construction Workers Act and various other Welfare Cess/Fund Acts. This code is proposed to be applied to both organised and unorganised workers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;BOCW Act&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The existing Building and Other Construction Workers (BOCW) Act will be repealed under the Social Security Bill. The Act was made possible following an 11-year struggle of workers between 1985 and 1996, and many benefits currently available under it for construction workers would not exist under the social security code.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Repealing BOCW will have a disastrous impact on construction workers as registrations of around four crore such workers will lapse. It will also lead to the closure of 36 state BOCW boards. All the construction workers will have to newly register themselves with the proposed state welfare boards. These state boards will also include other unorganised sector workers and all of them will be registered at the same place.&lt;br /&gt;

<em>In the name of simplification and universalisation, the new labour codes will likely result in increased worker exploitation.<br />
</em><br />
The Indian government has brought out four labour codes with the stated objective to rationalise and simplify the existing 44 labour laws. It is a welcome initiative to consolidate and simplify the delivery of justice to the working class. The four labour codes relate to wages, industrial relations, social security and welfare and occupational safety, health and working conditions<br />
<br />
During the current Lok Sabha session, the Wage Code Bill and the Code on Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Bill have been approved by the Union cabinet and will now be introduced in the parliament.<br />
<br />
The new labour codes provide for the ease of business, strengthening the role of the employers. However, in the name of simplification and efficiency, they erode all the gains the working class has fought for in the past 70 years. A close analysis of these codes explains that they are more pro-employer and rather than decrease, they will end up increasing exploitation.<br />
<br />
The draft Labour Code on Social Security and Welfare seeks to replace 15 laws on social security, including the Employee Provident Fund Act, Employee State Insurance Act, Maternity Benefit Act, Payment of Gratuity Act, Employees Compensation Act, Building and Other Construction Workers Act and various other Welfare Cess/Fund Acts. This code is proposed to be applied to both organised and unorganised workers.<br />
<br />
<em>BOCW Act<br />
</em><br />
The existing Building and Other Construction Workers (BOCW) Act will be repealed under the Social Security Bill. The Act was made possible following an 11-year struggle of workers between 1985 and 1996, and many benefits currently available under it for construction workers would not exist under the social security code.<br />
<br />
Repealing BOCW will have a disastrous impact on construction workers as registrations of around four crore such workers will lapse. It will also lead to the closure of 36 state BOCW boards. All the construction workers will have to newly register themselves with the proposed state welfare boards. These state boards will also include other unorganised sector workers and all of them will be registered at the same place.<br />

Repealing the Construction Workers Act Under New Labour Codes Will Prove Disastrous -Harshil Sharma
