Maharashtra Government is in the process of formulating a comprehensive labour policy in order to promote harmonious relationship between employers and workers.
“The policy provides guidelines on the interaction between the workers and employers in the organised sector, on role of trade unions and employer’s organisations and also guideline for protection of workers in the unorganised sector, including those who are self-employed,” Principal Secretary (Labour) Dr Kavita Gupta said.
The policy represents the statement of intentions of the government on labour and takes into account pronouncements of the Central and State Government on industry, employment, investment and infrastructure, safety and health, child labour and national policy on HIV/AIDS, etc, Gupta said.
