Contract Labour Conundrums in the Manufacturing Sector: Time for Regulators to Wake Up and Smell the Coffee
Tóm tắt
Indian contract labour regulation in the manufacturing sector has been the subject of a plethora of studies over the years, and many amendments to the legislation have been proposed and enacted.
However, these have failed to identify or solve a number of chronic issues plaguing the sector, as evidenced by the widespread contract labour unrest in the manufacturing sector and dissatisfaction among all stakeholders.
Contract labour law is archaic and obsolete, and thus unable to meet the needs of the present-day organizational order.Here, a practical diagnostic study is undertaken to identify issues and examine potential remedies based on comparative analysis with other jurisdictions wherever possible, and to suggest innovative solutions for addressing India’s unique problems.
