Stop the attack on workers' rights in India!

In May, the IUF sounded the alarm on the legislative attack on fundamental workers' rights in India. The attack continues, and we've joined with our sister international federations and the ITUC in an online LabourStart campaign to  stop the attack on rights.

Under cover of the COVID-19 emergency the state governments of Uttar Pradesh (India's most populous state), Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Maharashtra, have suspended minimum wages, extended the legal working day from 8 to 12 hours and introduced legal changes to facilitate the wholesale replacement of permanent workers by precarious contract workers and weaken labour inspection, social security and pension protection, among other measures. Other states are following suit.

CLICK HERE to send a message to the Indian authorities demanding these measures be withdrawn - now is the time to strengthen, not demolish worker rights and social protection!
