PTI
- New Delhi
A
group of ministers (GOM) on labour reforms discussed issues relating
to enactment of a proposed legislation on contract labour, which
seeks increased responsibility of contractor and safety net for
contractual labour.
The
meeting was chaired by the Planning Commission deputy chairman Mr
K C Pant. Sources said the new law proposes further simplification
of the process of registration of contractors. However, issues of
insurance and retrenchment for the workers have not been changed
and responsibility of labour welfare have been kept with the contractor.
The draft has been modified in view of recommendations made by the
GOM and observations of the law ministry based on the meeting of
group of secretaries. The meeting was attended by other members
of the group including small scale industry minister Mr C P Thakur,
commerce minister Mr Arun Jaitley and labour minister Mr Sahib Singh
Verma.
