LABOUR MINISTER GREETS WORKERS ON MAY DAY
The Labour Minister Shri Sharad
Yadav has greeted the workers on the May Day. In his message,
Shri Yadav said that the workers are one of the important factors
that contribute significantly to the development and prosperity
of the nation and sought cooperation of the Trade Unions in nation
building in the present moment of economic reforms. He said that
the Report of the Second National Labour Commission, which is
expected shortly, would be expeditiously examined and recommendations
implemented at the earliest. The Commission has been set up to
evolve an umbrella legislation for the workers in the unorganised
sector and to suggest rationalization of laws relating to workers
in the organised sector. Shri Yadav said that the government is
of the view that the adverse effects of liberalisation and globalisation
are not to be disproportionately shared by the working class but
they must get the fruits of prosperity as well.
