ILO expresses deep concerns over labour law suspension, tweaking to PM

NEW DELHI: International Labour Organisation (ILO) assured 10 central unions that it has expressed deep concerns over the suspension and tweaking of labour laws by states to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Besides, the ILO has also urged the Prime Minister to send a clear message to central and state governments to uphold India’s international commitments (conventions based on labour laws) and engage in social dialogue.

The ILO’s intervention came after ten central trade unions escalated the issue of suspension and tweaking of labour laws with the international body through a letter on May 14, 2020. (AGENCIES)
