The suggestions and demands given in this ‘Workers’ Rights Manifesto’ have emerged from the discussions held over the past few months with many organisations and worker groups in their work areas.

 

Groundxero | April 8, 2024

 

The preamble of our constitution mentions the values of justice, liberty, equality, fraternity, dignity, secularism and socialism. These are inspiring values that should direct the progress of the country. However, with the fast pace of development in the country and the world, workers have been left far  behind. The concern for the rights and dignity of workers has reduced considerably in our policy making institutions. The workers are being considered only as a tool to speed up development and production. There is hardly any discussion about their ownership and share in this development and production, though, it is well known that all development and production take place due to the hard  work of workers. There are very few laws for workers in the unorganised sector in the country, and even those that exist are not being followed and implemented properly. 94-95% of the workers in the  country are in the unorganised sector. Even among these, about half are self-employed workers. The situation of workers in the so-called organised sector has also changed. Earlier, they used to get some benefit from most of the labour laws, but now even these laws are being changed and most of the labourers are being hired on contract, for short term and informally.

 

The suggestions and demands given in this ‘Workers’ Rights Manifesto’ have emerged from the discussions held over the past few months with many organisations and worker groups in their work areas. These are being presented to all labour organisations, their allies, the government and elected public representatives for action in the near future.

 

1. Laws and the Constitution 

 

 I. Anti-worker new labour codes brought to replace old labour laws should be withdrawn/cancelled.

 II. Any change in labour laws should be considered valid only through a referendum among the workers.

III. Seats should be reserved for labourers in Parliament. Workers do not have a presence in the current national parliament and hence, the parliament is not very capable of representing them. Seats should also be reserved for labourers in Legislative Assemblies, legislative councils, Local Governments, District Panchayats and Gram Panchayats.

 

IV. There should be a provision for a separate electorate for labourers. 

V. The yardstick of every policy of the government should be what direct benefit it will bring to the workers and how the workers will be directly involved in the implementation and management of that policy. 

VI. Arrangements for positive support in favour of workers should be made in labour courts. Labour organisations should be given a decisive role in appointing judges in labour courts.

 

VII. The existing labour laws should be strictly followed and no industry/trade or special economic zone or national manufacturing sector should be considered outside the labour laws and no exemption should be given to them in the matter of labour laws.

 

VIII. The anti-labour changes being made in the labour laws should be stopped and reversed and changes should be made to protect the interests of the workers by conducting a proper dialogue  process with the labour organisations.

IX. Fake cases against lakhs of labourers languishing in jails should be withdrawn and they should be released immediately.

 

X. A Comprehensive Law for Informal Workers should be enacted extending Core Labour  Standards to all segments of workers – wage labour, self-employed, workers on commons, migrants and platform workers. Such legislation must cover besides other important rights the following: Compulsory Registration of workers and their unions, Compulsory recognition guaranteed through secret ballot, Collective Bargaining right, Grievance redress & Dispute Resolution, social security coverage, the working day to be a maximum of 8 hours and or 48  hours a week with double the rate of wages for overtime and one weekly off day.

 

2. Migration and Identity 

 

I. Interstate Workmen Act 1979 should be implemented properly.

  

II. Voter card, ration card, BPL card and labour card/e-shram card of every labourer should be made immediately. If a worker does not have this card, the factory owner/employer and the Labour Department officials should be made responsible and punished. 

III. If a labourer has any card of any district or state or factory, then it should be considered valid in every district, every state and every factory. A voter card, ration card, BPL card or labour card of one place should be considered valid everywhere. Since workers keep going from one place to another for their work, the schemes related to them should also be considered dynamic and portable. 

IV. Migrant labourers should be registered at the source and destination and provided with necessary facilities and access to government schemes. 

 

3. Union/ Organisation

 

I. A union elected by the workers in every factory should be formed immediately. If a union is not registered in a factory, then the Labour Department officials should be punished within three months. Organised or unorganised sector – at least ninety per cent of the workers in every sector should be associated with some union. The Labour Department should be held responsible for this.

II. Registration of the union should be done within 30 days of the application. Employers should not have any say in this process. Union officials should be considered protected workers from the day of application.

III. In recent years union registrars have arbitrarily cancelled the registration of many unions. Action should be taken against them. The provision of job security for workers participating in union activities should be implemented.

 

4. Minimum Wage 

 

I. A national floor wage of at least twenty-six thousand rupees per month should be fixed for unskilled workers to enable them to live a dignified life and take care of their families. In no case, a worker should be paid less than this amount.

 

II. The minimum wages declared by the governments in every state should be strictly implemented.

III. Working hours should be only eight.

 

IV. If more than 8 hours of work is done, then the worker should be paid immediately at double the rate. Forced overtime should be stopped. Any move to increase normal working hours should not be accepted. 

 

5. Comprehensive Social Security System

  

I. A comprehensive social security system should be implemented for all workers.

II. Every worker in the organised or unorganised sector should be immediately registered in PF and ESI. The PF/ESI-related mechanisms should be tightened so that the amounts deducted by the employers from the workers are deposited with the EPFO. In any sector where it is directly or practically difficult for employers and/or workers to contribute, the government itself should be responsible and accountable for it and make such contributions. The salary limits given in ESI and PF laws should be increased.

III. Unutilised funds with ESIC should be rightfully used to start new ESI hospitals and improve the quality of current ESI hospitals. Such funds should not be used as subsidies to the private hospitals. Labour department officials should be held accountable for this. 

IV. Mandatory arrangements for dignified pensions and health insurance should be made for  the workers. Free health check-ups of workers should be conducted every six months by the government/employers and free treatment of diseases or disabilities caused due to work should be provided. Disabled workers should be rehabilitated or compensated with adequate financial security.  

V. Weekly paid leave should be available to all workers. 

 

6. Contract Labour 

 

I. Contract labour and casual labour should be stopped, and every labourer engaged in regular work should be given a permanent job. Till then, all principal employers should be held accountable for the wages and safety of all contract and casual workers.

 

II. Placement agencies and labour supply agencies should be nationalised and licensed. They should be banned if they violate the licence conditions. They should be run through workers’ committees.

 

III. There should be no discrimination between contract/casual labourers and permanent labourers, and they should be provided equal facilities.

 

7. Housing 

 

I. The government should provide free/affordable and dignified housing for every labourer. 

II. Following the orders of the High Court, the government should arrange an adequate number of night shelters for the homeless labourers living in cities as per the population of the city. Facilities should be improved in the existing night shelters. Night and other shelters should be managed through organisations of homeless workers.

III. Under no circumstances should night shelters, labour colonies and slums be demolished or evicted. Basic facilities like water, houses, drains, sanitation, and electricity should be improved in slums.

IV. Common workplaces, entertainment and employment centres should be established in every area.

 

8. Labour Support System 

 

I. Labour call centres and labour assistance centres should be established for the workers where they can call for help in case of any trouble or need. 

II. Similarly, Migrant Labour Support Centres should be established for migrant labourers and priority should be given to women labour organisations in running them at source station and  destination also. 

III. The Labour Rights Commission should be formed in the Centre and also in the states which can systematically address the problems of the workers.

IV. Governments, in collaboration with Mahila Gram Sabhas and Mahila Mohalla Sabhas at the  local and district levels, along with functional labour rights forums, should provide work/jobs, social security and training to workers in every assembly constituency.

V. There should be clear and proportionate space and budget provisions for women and workers in the district plan, sector plan, state plan and national plan. 

VI. No. of employees and officers should be suitably increased in the labour department units so that this department can discharge its duties properly. Their role should not be limited to being facilitators for employers. They should be facilitators for the workers and inspectors for the employers.

I. The 2014 law for street vendors should be implemented immediately and the vending committees should be given the right to make decisions; vendors should not be evicted from any place under any circumstances without completing the survey and registration process as  per the law and the order of the Supreme Court and without providing suitable alternative places.

Caste-based discrimination, exploitation, and violence against them should be eliminated at every level. Cleaning work should be mechanised, and alternative employment arrangements should be made for traditional cleaning and sanitation workers. The 2013 Act about them should be implemented in letter and spirit. 

 

V. The rights of workers should not be reduced under MGNREGA. This right should apply to the  workers of every village in the country. The wage ratio should be increased in its budget and the existing wage ratio should be ensured at the Gram Panchayat level.

 

• Wage rates in MNREGA should be linked to the dignified standard of living of MNREGA workers and increased up to Rs 600 per day. In no case should it be less than the minimum wage rate. 
• The delay in payment to MNREGA workers and the delay in payment of unemployment allowance should not happen at any cost and the concerned officials should be punished immediately for any delay.

VIII. The Bonded Labour Abolition Act should be strictly implemented. Strict punitive action  should be taken immediately against those who employ bonded labour. Those earning less than the minimum wage declared by the government and working based on some advance should be considered bonded labour. The government, in collaboration with the National  Human Rights Commission and social organisations, should conduct a comprehensive survey about bonded labour and complete the identification, liberation and rehabilitation of bonded labourers. Information about the number of people punished so far under the Bonded Labour Abolition Act should be regularly made public. To ensure the livelihood of the freed bonded labourers, the prescribed rehabilitation grant amount should be increased to a dignified and practical level. The capacity of the National Human Rights Commission should be increased to monitor the necessary mechanisms at the state and district level to implement this law.

In case of an accident at the workplace, compensation should be paid within a week of the incident. During the duty days, if the worker dies outside the workplace (residence or elsewhere), the worker’s family should be provided compensation within 10 days of the incident. Otherwise, an FIR should be lodged automatically on the concerned labour commissioner/officer. 

 

13. An urban employment guarantee law (like MNREGA) should be made for urban poor labourers. 

 

14. The increasing use of Artificial Intelligence has started influencing jobs in the organised and unorganised sectors. The government should come out with a plan which ensures that anyone losing  a job due to artificial intelligence or new technology, will be skilled to work with artificial intelligence or with the new technology and will be guaranteed rehabilitation.

 

15. Gig and platform workers (in companies like Ola, Uber, Amazon, Blinkit, Urban Clap, Zomato, Swiggy etc.) who are termed as partners by the companies, should be given the status of workers, and the management of the companies should be held responsible for the rights and welfare of these workers.

18. Workers who lost many months of wage and their livelihood due to lockdowns imposed by the government during the COVID-19 period have not yet been compensated for the loss of their earnings. They must be provided adequate compensation at the earliest.  

 

19. Controls on Capitalists/ Industrialists

 

I. The exemption of lakhs of crores of rupees given every year in the budget to the rich classes should be withdrawn and it should be spent for the welfare of the working people. 

II. Corporate tax should be increased, and the income generated from it should be spent on the provisions of social security for workers. 

III. GST should be abolished on essential commodities and services. 

IV. Foreign companies and foreign investment should have very limited space if needed at all. 

V. There should be a ban on privatisation of public sector or government sector companies, corporations and services.

VI. The private sector should be made accountable for labour rights and universal human rights. 

VII. Every business/industrial unit should be audited by auditors appointed by workers and with full participation of workers to check compliance with labour laws. 

VIII. In the new labour laws, the facility of self-certification given to the owners in most of  the cases should be abolished and the labour department should be strengthened for investigation. 

IX. Reservations in the jobs (both, contract and regular) and supply chain in the private sector and public sector should be ensured for the socially marginalised communities and women. 

 

20. The government should ratify and implement various suggestions/conferences of the  International Labour Organization. The Government of India should fully implement ILO Convention 87 (right to form unions or organizations) and Convention 98 (right to collective demands  and agreements), implement Convention 189 on Decent Work and Convention 182 on the Worst Forms of Child Labour. According to Convention 81, an appropriate number of labour inspectors should be appointed. 

 

21. Climate change and changes in the environment are adversely affecting the livelihood of the working people. In the future, the impact of floods, drought, unseasonal rains, landslides, sea erosion etc. on the lives of workers will increase. Due to the pollution of the environment and indiscriminate exploitation of natural resources by profit-seeking industrialists, the employment and livelihood of the present and future generations of workers will be affected.

 

• Therefore, instead of symbolic actions, governments should do serious work for environmental protection and make appropriate changes in their development policies.
• Complete safety of workers engaged in polluting work should be guaranteed. 
• In industries where the transition to green technology is taking place, the jobs and other rights of workers should be protected. 
• In line with the COP28 organised recently in Dubai, loss and damages caused to the common people due to climatic conditions in the country should be adequately compensated. 

 

22. In the platform of the General Assembly of the United Nations, a general acceptance and  commitment by all the governments of the world has been expressed on Sustainable  Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030. However, governments will have to show their seriousness towards these goals through concrete actions. And these will be closely monitored by labour organizations. Labour organizations also feel that the Seventeen Goals framework lacks clarity about ensuring workers’ rights and that sustainable and equitable development is not possible without workers’ rights. The private sector and governments must be accountable for the decent work mentioned in Sustainable Development Goal. Governments should present their action plans as soon as possible to establish equal ownership of production by treating workers as equal partners instead of treating them as tools of production. 

 

23. Repression of labour movements, and movements of students, youth, farmers, women, Dalits, tribals and other people’s movements should end immediately, and democratic rights of expression, association and dissent should be protected. The right to peaceful protest near factory gates and in industrial areas should be acknowledged and police interference in such situations should stop.

 

24. The labour organizations urge immediate action from governments and other institutions to end  the atmosphere of communal tension in the country, fascist and dictatorial trends, attacks on the rights of minorities, killings of social workers fighting against superstitions, and the campaign by some conservative elements to take the country back to the ancient barbarian era.

 

Conclusion 

 

Only by increasing consciousness and collectivism among the working class about their dignity and rights can the existing Parliament and laws be activated more to work for the working class. By following a non-violent, democratic and constitutional path, the labour movement can inspire parliamentarians and politicians to think and work on their collective demands. 

 

While fully respecting the old methods of unionisation and taking full pride in the achievements of the old labour movements, there is a need to organise the labour movement afresh and in new ways. 

 

The class which is not organised and does not raise its voice with collective power, does not get its  rights. It does not even get respect. 

 

Unity and collectivism are the basic mantras of today. Only through this can the voice of the working class be strengthened. 

 

For this, it is necessary that all the workers and their organisations, other social organisations sympathising with the workers and social workers, students and youth, and people from the middle class who like democracy and justice, reduce their ideological differences, and raise their voices together that we can create such a just and pro-worker India. We want an India where workers are  respected, workers get their due rights and their full participation in the country’s democracy is ensured. The development of the country should not be through their exploitation, and they should  also get full benefits of the country’s development. Only when workers get respect and full human rights in the country, India will be able to get more respect in the world.

 

Let us keep alive the vision of a society based on the dignity of labour where there is no exploitation, oppression or discrimination and where all respect each other and the fruits of development are shared equally with all.

 

Long live the unity and dignity of workers
