Labour Codes: Kerala govt. to finalise decision in consultation with trade unions

Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan said on Wednesday that a decision will be finalised on implementing the Labour Codes in Kerala in consultation with the trade unions in the State. At a post-Cabinet press briefing here, Mr. Satheesan said the decision is meant to address the “uncertainty” created by the replacement of the earlier laws and the non-implementation of the new law passed by the Parliament. “Now there is no labour law in effect in the State. The talks with the trade unions will look at how the anti-worker provisions in the codes can be addressed,” he said.
