In the working class, heavy resentment towards the state government

Digvijay Singh wrote in his letter- Millions of the state during the increasing inflation day by day There is a lot of resentment towards the state government in the working class of the state due to reduced wages of workers. The government should fight for the rights of laborers in the court. In its place, the state government is seen standing standing with factory owners. This attitude of the responsible officers is giving open exemption to exploit the workers.

According to the provisions of the Minimum Wages Act 1948, the rates of workers should have been increased in 2019. However, under the pressure of the company owners, the state government officials were silent instead of increasing the rates of wages. On the other hand, labor organizations continued demanding to increase wages.

increased wages in May itself, after that I was stayed by stay

Digvijay Singh further wrote in his letter- Minimum Wage Act Afterpaying all the rules of ten years, the government respected the rates of unskilled, semi -skilled and high skilled category workers from 1 April 2024 respectively. In May, lakhs of workers involved in government offices and other construction works including industrial areas of the state got increased wages. Just after ten years, justice could not give happiness even for a month and industrial organizations filed a petition in the court to protest against the notification of the labor department.

The wages of workers and workers across the state have come back to the old rates from May 2024. The attitude of the state government in this entire episode seems to be anti -labor. Neither his behalf was taken seriously efforts to remove the stay from the High Court nor a petition was filed against the stay in the Supreme Court. Not only this, the Labor Commissioner has issued an order to pay the payments from 2014 rates.

Congress will support the workers’ movement. Giving and said- According to constitutional provisions, the concept of the state is of a “public welfare state” which should be decided in the widespread interest of the people. The state government has taken anti -labor steps to reduce the minimum wage. You are urged that after taking immediate cognizance in this case, stay should be removed from the court and instructions should be given to pay at the increased rates of wages. If the government does not do justice, the Congress party will support the movement of labor organizations.
