Bhopal, February 12: Several organizations in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh have voiced their opposition to a strike against new labor laws, labeling it as politically motivated. They assert that the participating trade unions are acting under the influence of political leaders, effectively using workers as pawns in their agenda.
Deepak Jaiswal, who has worked with trade unions and welfare organizations at both national and international levels for over 42 years, praised the central government’s new labor laws. He emphasized that the BJP government has prioritized employee social security and health.
The National President of the National Front of Indian Trade Unions (NFITU), Deepak Jaiswal, stated, “For over two decades, the Burma Commission has existed to review labor laws. Many labor laws from the colonial era of 1947 have become outdated. There was a significant demand to update these laws to meet current needs. However, previous governments failed to implement the recommendations. The BJP government has taken action, engaging in discussions with various organizations over 100 times. The government has simplified old labor laws and introduced new regulations.”
NFITU General Secretary Virat Jaiswal remarked that the new labor laws will serve as a milestone for ‘Developed India 2047.’ He highlighted the numerous benefits of the new laws, which range from gig workers to social security for laborers.
He accused certain organizations of attempting to create a propaganda for a nationwide strike, asserting that it is merely a political strike with no relevance to the working class. The trade unions participating in the protests are allegedly acting under political directives, disconnected from the realities faced by workers.
Umang Bansal, National Coordinator of ‘Fight for Right,’ stated that the strike is entirely politically motivated and will not impact the country. He noted that the government’s initiatives are designed for the benefit of workers. While he acknowledged that there may be shortcomings in the regulations, he argued that the government should be informed about these issues through dialogue rather than through strikes.
Satendra Kumar, a leader of the All India BHEL Employees Union, commented that the strike called for Thursday is driven by political ambitions. He praised the new laws as a significant step towards ‘One Nation, One Law.’ He asserted that the government has made employee-friendly decisions and simplified labor laws, ensuring equal work, equal pay, and social security for the labor class.
