CPM member Brittas demands withdrawal of 4 labour codes

Rajya Sabha member John Brittas on Thursday asked the government to withdraw the four new labour codes, saying workers are agitating against the reforms.

Brittas, who belongs to CPI (M), said in the name of ease of doing business, the government has unleashed “ease of exploitation of workers”.

Raising the issue during the Zero Hour in the Rajya Sabha, he said the labour codes were passed in a hasty manner without a proper discussion in the Parliament.

“Even there was stiff opposition from BMS and a section of BJP. That's why the codes were kept in freezer for a long time,” he said.

He said the codes will play havoc on the rights and dignity of the workers.
