Trade unions to protest before Delhi CM on Wednesday

             Protesting the alleged "anti-labour policies" of the Centre and the Delhi Government, the joint action committee of central trade unions today decided to protest in front of Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit's office here on Wednesday.

             Office bearers of the committee claimed that despite making representations to Dikshit about various problems of workers in the unorganised sector, "no steps have been taken to alleviate their sufferings".
         "We had asked the Delhi Government to implement various labour laws effectively, but nothing has happened as yet," Harbhajan Singh Sidhu, general secretary of Hind Mazdoor Sabha (Delhi State), said.

               Talking to reporters, he alleged that Government officials are also showing reluctance in implementation of the labour laws.

          "Officials are saying we cannot force employers to get their units registered which could have enabled the employees enjoy labour rights," Sidhu said.
