BJP led Karnataka government increases working hours from 8 hours to 10 hours.

The BJP led Karnataka government has increased the daily working hours from 8 hours to 10 hours and weekly working hours from 48 hours to 60 hours. The Karnataka government has taken this decision to increase the working hours beyond 8 hours, even while nationwide protests are taking place against this move. The Federation of Karnataka Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FKCCI), has welcomed this decision and has stated that, the increase in working hours will improve productivity and revenue. BSNLEU severely condemns this retrograde step of the Karnataka government and demands it's immediate withdrawal.
