Killing workers' rights, by abolishing the existing 29 Labour Laws and implementing 4 Labour Codes.

Narendra Modi government wants the big  corporates to have the "Ease Of Doing Business" . At the same time, he does not want the workers to have the "Ease Of Living A Decent  Life" .  In the last 75 years after independence, the Indian working class has organised heroic struggles, made many sacrifices and has made the government to implement  29 Labour Laws. These 29 Labour Laws give protection to the workers from exploitation, to some extent.  But, the Narendra Modi government is killing all these 29 Labour Laws in one stroke and is implementing 4 pro - corporate and anti- worker Labour Codes. BSNLEU has already informed about the decision of the Joint Platform of the 10 Central Trade Unions, which have decided to organise a General Strike against the implementation of these 4 Labour Codes.   The 10 Central Trade Unions have taken this decision because, after implementation of the 4 Labour Codes,  the workers of this country will become the slaves of the big corporates. There will not be right to form trade unions. There will not be right for organising strikes. Working hours will be increased as per the will and pleasure of the corporates. New exploitative methods will be implemented by the corporates, including increasing the working hours drastically. We have already heard the chairman of the L&T, who has said that, workers should work for 90 hours a week. The present system of Labour Inspectors inspecting the factories to find out the working conditions of the workers, will be diluted. The existing Social Securities, viz., EPF and ESI will be discontinued or diluted.  In short, the 4 Labour Codes are being introduced to enable the corporates to exploit the workers ruthlessly. Com.K.Hemalata, President, CITU has written an article regarding the implementation of the 4  Labour Codes. We reproduce this article hereunder and request our comrades to read it without fail.
