Centre to bring four labour codes to protect workers

The Union labour ministry proposes to come out with four labour codes in the areas of 

  1. Wages,
  2. Industrial relations,
  3. Social security and 
  4. Working condition
to strengthen safety and social security of workers. 

The Government is holding tri-partite meetings with representatives of trade unions, employers and Central and State governments on a host of labour-related issues. 

Noting that there are a number of laws concerning labour and employment, Dattatreya said his Ministry is doing "simplification, rationalisation and amalgamation" of legislations to promote productivity and welfare of workers. 

Referring to the issue involving Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade, who was accused of underpaying her maid in the US, he said developed countries try to protect workers.
