Government mulling amendment to labour laws

27 Nov 2014 Evaluate

The government is considering amendment to various labour laws in order to bring them in tune with better enforcement of labour laws, streamlining inspection mechanism, more coverage of labour rights and with emerging needs of the economy which include facilitating investments. Union minister for Labour and Employment Bandaru Dattatreya has stated that the Ministry is actively pondering amendments in the Child Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act 1986, Factories Act 1948, Mines Act 1952, Minimum Wages Act 1948, the Apprenticeship Act 1961 and Labour Laws Act 1988.

Bandaru Dattatreya stressed that proposal to amend the various labour laws is formulated on the basis of consultations held with union ministries, state governments, employers' and employees organizations.

Giving details of amendment in labour laws, Labour and Employment Minister asserted that amendment in the Child Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act 1986 proposes linking the definition of child under this Act to Right to Education Act 2009, complete prohibition of employment of children below 14 years, prohibition of working of adolescents in mines, explosives and other hazardous occupations under Factories Act 1948 and more strict punishment to offenders.

Further, elaborating on the proposed amendments in the Factories Act 1948, Bandaru Dattatreya emphasized that there are proposals to amend Section 66 of the Act relating to permission for employment of women for night work with adequate safeguards, amendment of sections 64 and 65 of the Act to enhance limit of overtime hours from the present limit of 50 hours per quarter to 100 hours per quarter amongst others. Another proposal is to empower the central government to make rules under the Factories Act on some important provisions.
