Government Labour Codes Bring Big Change For Wages And Worker Safety

Mumbai(Maharashtra)[India] November 21: The government announced the implementation of four major labour codes that will now replace twenty nine older laws. These earlier laws were built during the 1930s to 1950s when India was still growing in a very different world. Because work culture has changed, the need for a simpler system became strong. This new step makes the rules more clear and easier to follow. Workers, companies and industries are expected to understand their rights in a better and more simple way.

The Key Labour Codes And What They Aim To Do

The four labour codes include the Code on Wages, the Industrial Relations Code, the Code on Social Security and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code. Each code covers a major area of working life. The wage code promises fair and timely payment. The social security code brings support for workers during sickness, old age and tough times. The industrial relations code aims to keep peace in workplaces. The safety code focuses on clean and secure working conditions.

Workers Welfare At The Centre Of The Reform

Labour minister Mansukh Mandaviya announced that the codes are now the law of the land. He said the new system supports a future ready workforce. For many years workers across India have asked for simple rules that respect their needs. These codes also encourage industries to run with strong discipline and clarity. The ministry said the goal is to build a system where workers feel safe and valued. This change is expected to support India’s dream of becoming more self reliant.

Why These Labour Codes Matter In Today’s Time

Many countries have already updated their labour rules in the last thirty years. India continued with old systems for a long time which made rules confusing. The new codes bring all important points together in a simple frame. They make hiring and working easier for both small shops and large industries. They also help workers understand their rights without long documents. This shift will help India match global standards. It is also a major step in improving trust between employers and workers.

They promise better wages, improved safety and stronger social security. With this decision the country steps into a new age where the dignity of workers becomes a central value for national growth.
