I agree, Gurumurthi. It is not just an amendment that is required, but we need effective implementation of these laws. I should say that Kerala should be the sole state where you can see effective implementation of labor laws. Still, there are employees who say that they are not given whatever they deserve as per the law. That means in Kerala also the implementation is just 80%.
The other side of the situation is the reaction of investors. For them, Kerala is the least interested place because it is known for more hartals and strikes, and there are a lot of trade unions in Kerala. However, they will never accept that we need a place where we can do our business with a free hire and fire policy, where we need not pay even the wages calculated as per the old Economic theory of wages, viz., Subsistence Theory of wages, where we need not provide anything else like bonus, PF, ESI, and nothing!
But in reality, the companies that have gained profits are those who have recognized the importance of these labor laws and applied industrial relations theories in practice.

Hi, everybody. Today, some managements are only giving the minimum wage to the contract laborers, even the regular workers. However, in the case of middle management like officers and those below the AGM level, they don't seem to care about their salary. Qualifications, experience, and job responsibilities hold no value for them. They only seem to focus on pleasing the top boss by periodically revising their salary and providing all facilities.
In Odisha's Joda-Barbil-Keonjhar area, due to the closure of mines, managements are exploiting the middle management. The salary of middle management is 10-15 times less than that of top management with no facilities similar to what the top bosses receive. Why shouldn't the government take action or make amendments to the salary system in the private sector industry or mining belt areas? The government could consider implementing a minimum and maximum salary for all categories, from laborers to top bosses, in a proportionate manner to minimize the differences. Facilities should also be provided based on responsibility or designation, with all payments made online.
Why is there a discrepancy between private sector employees and government employees?
