Now that the so-called New Industrial Relations Code is here to stay, are there some ground rules for every State Government to act in the right direction? Or will it be used by employers to simply exploit contract labor?
Furthermore, can such a code make any difference if the root cause of many problems is not identified? For example, the massive exodus of uneducated and untrained people from the backward BIMARU States to South India includes their total ignorance of the English language. If the Hindi-speaking people from these areas can at least know English to a much larger extent, they can even pursue higher education on a private basis and become graduates. This never ever happens. They do all the unskilled jobs where the educated masses do not go at all. Hence, we simply have exploitation of a tall order.
Just one piece of evidence. Even if the same Hindiwallah is a graduate with a BA degree in the Hindi medium, he lands up in a job where Hindi is the main language, like a BPO, in Chennai or Bangalore or Hyderabad, and then makes his way by learning English as well. But why is the Hindi issue such an emotional issue in the BIMARU States, thereby forcing millions into believing that they can do anything with Hindi? Is this not an injustice of a tall order? Is the present situation of helping the industrialists or businessmen in South India simply employ these hapless individuals simply because their regions are still under-developed? And make huge profits?

Dear Apadharna Sivakumar,
This forum is for queries related to the HR and Admin field. However, you have posted about the job market, inter-state migration, etc. Your post is based on your perceptions and does not cite any research data or studies.
Regarding labor exploitation, it has been prevalent for centuries. It is not a new phenomenon. Even before the mass migration of North Indians to South India, exploitation existed. Native industrialists exploited native labor.
However, merely expressing grievances or frustration on social media is not enough. We need to move forward and propose reasonable solutions. If you have a solution, please share it.
Thanks,
