SPECIAL ARTICLE

Unorganised Workers Social Security Act, 2008 : Issues and Challenges

Shivali, NUSRL1

Unorganised or informal sector constitutes a pivotal part of the Indian economy. More than 90 per cent of workforce and about 50 per cent of the national product are accounted for by the informal economy. The high level of growth of the Indian economy during the past two decades is accompanied by increasing informalisation. There are indications of growing interlinkages between informal and formal economic activities. There has been new dynamism of the informal economy in terms of output, employment and earnings. Faster and inclusive growth needs special attention to informal economy. Sustaining high levels of growth are also intertwined with improving domestic demand of those engaged in informal economy, and addressing the needs of the sector in terms of credit, skills, technology, marketing and infrastructure.

2

As a high proportion of socially and economically underprivileged sections of society are concentrated in the informal economic activities, their protection in terms of wages, working condition and social security is of utmost importance for the development of any economy. Realising the same, the provision of social protection has also been enshrined in Articles 38 (securing a social order for the promotion of welfare of the people), 39 (certain principles of policy), 41 (right to work, education and public assistance in certain cases), 42 (just and human conditions of work and maternity relief) and 43 (living wage etc.) of the Constitution of India as a part of the Directive Principles of State Policy.

There are different segment in the labour market which can be divided into unorganised, organised, wage earners, self employed, skilled, semi skilled, unskilled and so on. Though there are different laws and regulations to facilitate them in achieving various welfare objectives many segments still need such regulations which could protect decency, regulate working conditions and provide social security. The meaning of social security however keep changing throughout the life of a worker as the perception also keep changing with the age of the person.

3

The labour laws can be enacted by both the Central and the State Governments as labour is the subject in the concurrent list under the Indian constitution. The Ministry of Labour and Employment

4 consisting of eight divisions; social security, emigration, industrial relations,

child and women labour, labour welfare, economics and statistics, international labour affairs, and labour conference, is mainly responsible for protecting and safeguarding the interests of workers through enactment and implementation of various labour laws. Each state government also has a labour department that may implement labour laws within its jurisdiction. Consequently, there is large number of labour related laws enacted by the Central Governments and also by the State Governments. Besides, important social security, poverty alleviation and social welfare measures are also being implemented by various Ministries/Departments of State Governments and by civil society organisations.

In April 2000, USDOL5 signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Indian

Ministry of Labour to provide technical assistance in five areas: the elimination of child labour, prevention of HIV/AIDS in the workplace, improvement in mines safety, provision of decent employment for women, and labour market information systems.

Despite all the efforts stated above, there is deficit in the coverage of unorganized sector workers in the matter of labour welfare and social security measures.

Of approximately 496.4 million persons constituting India‘s active work force, approximately seven percent are employed in the formal sector, or organized sector. The rest are overwhelmingly agricultural workers, and to a lesser extent, urban non-industrial workers

6 who

do not have adequate social security and welfare as most of them are not covered under the aforesaid laws and regulations.

In view of above, a need was felt to evaluate the different legislation/ rules/ acts in regard to social security and decency of unorganised worker. While conceptualising and elaborating the need for social security in terms of Basic Social Security (BSS) and Contingent Social Security (CSS), BSS is directly linked to the problem of deficiency of those who are not in a position to access minimum of resources to meet their economic and social requirements for a dignified life in a society. The notion of CSS refers to social arrangements to take care of adversity i.e., contingencies of a wide ranging nature. The social security in developing countries like India will has to be viewed as a part of and fully integrated with antipoverty policies such as employment guarantee and food security.

7

Recognising the need of providing social security and welfare of unorganised workers and for other matters connected therewith, the Government enacted the Unorganised Workers Social Security Act, 2008 in the fifty ninth Year of the Republic of India.

This Bill proposes a model that will be inclusive in nature and provide for a clearly demarcated division of responsibilities between the Central and State governments. It mandates the Central and State governments to implement a National Social Security Scheme. The Act provides for constitution of National Social Security Board at the central level to recommend schemes related with life and disability cover, health and maternity benefits, old age benefit and other benefits for unorganised sector worker.

8 The Act discusses about the framing of various

welfare schemes. The various welfare schemes offered for these unorganised workers are for matters such as life and disability cover, health and maternity benefit etc. This part also clarifies that the Central and State Government shall notify about these schemes.

The next thing i.e. being discussed is about the Constitution of a National Fund i.e. how the Central Government creates a National Social Security Fund to which contributions will be accrued from the following sources

9:

a) Grants of loans from the Central Government;

b) Contributions from workers, employers and Governments as may be prescribed by the National Board for the specified scheme for national minimum social security.

In addition to the above, contributions may also accrue from the following sources:

c) Contributions from the national financial/developmental institutions; and

d) Any voluntary contribution from individuals or institutions.

e) Cess for social security for unorganised sector workers.

It also gives an explanation about the formation of the board at the centre and state level, their composition and the required functions that should be performed by them.

The later part of the Act discusses about the eligibility for registration and social benefits for any unorganised worker, implementation machinery, about premium and compensation benefits. It also talks about the formation of dispute resolution bodies and their composition.

The various social security schemes for the unorganised workers are10

According to the commitments of the Government of India, right of workers to social security has been recognised as inalienable and, therefore, must accrue to every worker under any system of labour law or labour policy.

However, even after making such act the reality remains the same. The workers of these unorganised sectors don‘t have access to these social security benefits. Though the Unorganised Worker Social Security Act was passed in 2008, there has been dismal progress. The Act has been criticized on several grounds such as for not defining a minimum social security floor that is enforceable by law and for not providing institutional power to ensure effective implementation. Even the National Social Security Board for Unorganised Worker which was constituted in August, 2009 is limited to an advisory role and doesn‘t have sufficient power to implement, monitor or enforce social security.

The effectiveness of the Act and related issues and challenges can be examined on the basis of five essential characteristics namely coverage, benefits, financing, delivery and administration.

The Act is premised on a clear distinction between ‗organised‘ and ‗unorganised‘ sectors, despite the contrary argument that such firm distinctions cannot be drawn and these form a continuum with clear inter linkage.

11 The term unorganised worker should be as inclusive

as possible since the impact of exclusion error is far higher than the inclusion error. This point also has support of the statement of Standing committee that any class of workers, who otherwise entitled for social security coverage, should be not left out merely because his class of worker have not been included in the definition.

As in India 92% 12

of the working population belongs to Unorganised Sector therefore it is prudent to define and declare some clear and wide definition of unorganised worker. NAC defined unorganised worker as “everyone excluding those already registered with and covered by the existing PF and ESIC schemes, are self employed but well off or are income tax payer.”

Migrant workers, women workers and disadvantaged groups should be explicitly mentioned in the initial coverage of workers. The definition exclude workers dependent on livelihood systems- like forest workers and fishermen, who could not be brought within the ambit of ‗home based worker‘, ‗self employed worker‘ and ‗wage worker‘. Essential working condition needs of these workers such as security and physical safety should be considered and covered by this Act. The Act does not give any clarity on what State means by ‗social security‘. Social Security not only means rights but should also contain the principles and rules present in the constitution.

The next important point under this is that the access to social security should be universal across all unorganised workers irrespective of the financial status of the workers or position in respect of their position in the poverty list.

The Act should have a clear definition of social security as measures by the government in collaboration with employer, worker or otherwise, designed to meet the contingencies in life of a worker including old age pension, unemployment benefits, maternity, livelihood loss compensation, accident and medical care and child care support.

The Act should have an additional chapter to include the Right to Working Conditions as an essential right of the worker.

The Act should have a separate section that defines the existence and nature of the National Social Security Fund and appropriate mechanisms at the state level to ensure that there‘s clear financing support to address the social security needs of the workers. It is also important to define an enforceable timeline realize the fund both at the national and state level.

In the Act there is no specified way to address the issues to any Grievance Redressal (with penalties) and dispute settlement forum. The grievance redressal should be based on the tri


6

party model of employers, worker representatives and the government. Such a grievance redressal mechanism should not only be limited to the district level but also extend to the block level so that it is accessible to the workers.

There should also be emphasis on the role of Worker Facilitation Centres and defined modalities on how WFCs can be run collaboratively by the Government and local community organisation. All the essential schemes that comprise the social security cover will be brought under the ambit of the Ministry of Labour so that there‘s clear and one point accountability for delivery.

In the Act there is no mention of any Livelihood rights and it is also not mentioned in the list of schemes under Section 3(1). The Act should also give required attention to those individuals and groups, who have traditionally faced difficulties in exercising rights. There is no provision for penalties in the Act to punish those employers who violate it.

To conclude it can be said that the Unorganised Worker Social Security Act 2008 is a collection of piece meal schemes without any logic leaving behind vast numbers of vulnerable workers to fend for themselves. There is need to create a social floor consisting of a national minimum social security, minimum conditions of work and a national minimum wage so that no one is allowed to fall below this floor.

The new legislation can, however, be taken as a beginning – an opportunity to raise working class struggles to newer heights by involving crore of unorganized workers. The 2008 Act appears to have excluded vast sections of unorganized workers like agricultural labourers, the unorganized labourers in the organised sector including contract labourers and the informal labourers in the formal sector, the anganwadi workers, para workers like ASHAs and para teachers, and those in the cooperative sector.

So by analysing the flaws and benefits of this Act anyone can easily say that it is a beginning for bigger struggles of those unorganised workers rather than getting a solution to their problems.

NEWS IN BRIEF

(a) INDIAN LABOUR The news items reported below have been gleaned from various official and unofficial

sources. Hence, the Labour Bureau is not in a position to vouchsafe the authenticity of the unofficial news items. NREGA Benefits are Mixed: Oxford Study - UPA‘s flagship Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee scheme (NREGA) reduces child malnutrition, but only in the short term, says University of Oxford study. The first effort to analyse the effect of NREGA on child nutrition, the study was carried out on infants in 528 households in Dungarpur district of Rajasthan. During the study period, 53% of the households received payment under NREGA. ―Participation in NREGA reduced acute malnutrition, but not chronic malnutrition among infants,‖ says Manisha Nair, Weidenfield scholar at the Nuffield department of population health at the university. While NREGA wages helped families avoid starvation when agricultural jobs dried up, many mothers complained wages were paid late or not in full. This meant NREGA‘s intended benefits weren‘t delivered in full, researchers said. It appeared from focus-group discussions that drawbacks in implementation like low wages, delayed payments and corruption prevented sustainable long-term benefits, important to address chronic child malnutrition, Nair said. Ensuring timely payment could improve food security and improve NREGA‘s impact, Nair says, adding that similar studies were needed to gauge the scheme‘s impact on child nutrition in different social, economic and geographical settings.

Labour Unions Cry Foul Over Exemption of IT from Labour Law in Karnataka - Employee rights activists in software services industry have come out against the Karnataka government‘s recent decision to exempt the information technology sector from an onerous labour law – the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946 - for another five years. Industry representatives in India's technology capital had welcomed the decision to extend the exemption from the Industrial Employment Act. According to them, the Act was archaic and not relevant to a modern, services industry such as theirs. Labour union leaders said the move will increase 'unfair practices' by IT sector employers and make them less accountable for their action. "It is yet another decision that will protect companies, whose actions are not being monitored," said Karthik Shekhar, general secretary of UNITES Professionals, a union for software industry professionals. The technology services sector contributes nearly a quarter of the state's GDP. According to the union, software companies in Bangalore often pay lower wages to female employees and women who are allowed to work-from-home are made to work for longer hours. "The legislation would have brought in some much needed monitoring in the IT sector," Shekhar said. In the absence of exemption, IT firms would have had to define wages, number of contract employees, average work hours and other conditions of employment and display it prominently near the main entrance. For over a decade, software companies in Bangalore enjoyed exemption from the law, but last year the government decided to bring this sector under the legislation. Software industry heads have been campaigning against it calling it a retrograde step as the law was initially designed for the manufacturing sector.

Employees in India Can Expect 11% Pay Hike in 2014 - Employees at Indian companies can expect an average 11 per cent pay hike in 2014, according to a survey conducted by professional services company Towers Watson. However, after factoring in inflation, the rise would be just 2 per cent. Taking inflation into account, Japan at 0.5 per cent and India at 2 per cent are among countries offering the smallest rises, while China and Vietnam lead the way with 4.9 per cent. ―Indian companies have traditionally offered high salary increases as compared to the rest of the region, but face a paradox today. They continue to offer double digit salary increases as they deal with the challenge of attracting and retaining critical talent, but high levels of inflation end


13

up eroding much of this hike,‖ said Subeer Bakshi, Director, Talent & Rewards, Towers Watson India. According to the survey, companies in Asia Pacific, including India, are finding it hard to both find and retain suitably skilled staff. One outcome of this is that more than 80 per cent of the companies surveyed in India say a larger portion of their salary budget increase allocation would go to high performers in 2014, the survey noted. The retail industry in India stands out with all respondents in the survey planning to allocate their budget to reward high performers. Reflecting the continued challenges faced by the automotive industry in India, the survey found that 10 per cent of the companies anticipate a pay freeze in 2014, compared with the overall average of 1 per cent. Also, 11 per cent plan to allocate their entire salary budget increase only to high performers, in a bid to retain top talent. Around 56 per cent respondents in the fast-moving consumer goods sector said a large portion of their budget towards salary increases would go to high performers, while 44 per cent said all employees would record the same increase in salary. The survey was conducted in July and August 2013, with around 2,700 sets of responses from companies across 20 countries in the Asia Pacific region.

Manpower Shortage Hits Payroll Costs in Hotels - The hotel industry in India is faced with a shortage of quality professionals and a sharp rise in payroll costs, and the crisis will deepen with the number of hotel rooms set to more than double in five years. "There is a lot of pressure on hotel bottom lines," says Natwar Nagar, managing director of HVS Executive Search that helps hotels recruit staff. Hoteliers say their payroll costs have almost doubled in the last three years due to higher demand for manpower. Dilip Puri, managing director at Starwood Hotels and Resorts, says that today, typically the industry payroll costs range anywhere between 20% and 30% of a company's average revenue, up from 15-17% three years ago. Companies blame this on high attrition rates across the industry, over-hiring and growing sizes of food and beverage outlets. Perhaps the biggest reason for the manpower crisis in hotel industry is that a majority of fresh hotel management graduates prefer to join allied industries. "We have seen that students from hotel management institutes move to other areas like banking sector, travel and tour operators, smaller restaurants, etc," S Kacker, principal of Institute of Hotel Management at Dadar in Mumbai, says. He says that only around 30% of the students join hotel industry, while rest move to other industries or pursue higher studies. "The main reason why students choose other sectors is due to better pay packages, working hours and conditions than hotels," Kacker says. With hotel room supply in the country estimated to increase 111% over the next five years, the manpower crisis may get a lot worse for the industry. Ashwin Shirali, regional director of human resources at Accor Hotels India, says payroll costs can go as high as 35-40% of annual revenue for a new hotel property.

The Gender Divide in the Indian Labour Market - One of the biggest shifts in the Indian labour market has been the dramatic withdrawal of women workers in the past few years. India‘s female labour force participation rate, or the proportion of women who opt for work, fell nearly seven percentage points to 22.5% between 2004-05 and 2011-12. Low female labour participation rates have been a structural problem in India for long but the recent decline means the country has among the lowest proportions of working women. India ranks 10th from the bottom among countries ranked according to their female labour force participation rate, World Bank data show. The greatest withdrawal of women from the labour force occurred in rural areas, and was largely in agriculture. The withdrawal is all the more surprising as it has occurred during a period of sharp rise in wages that women earn. The gender gap in wages of casual labourers declined nearly six percentage points between 2004-05 and 2011-12 to 31%. There are possibly three key factors driving women out of the rural labour force. First, there seems to be an income effect that has raised average rural incomes and allowed many women to quit demanding farm jobs. Secondly, there seems to be an education effect that is putting increasing numbers of rural women out of farms and into schools and colleges, which is reflected in the growing rural enrolment rates. Finally, there seems to be a dearth of attractive non-farm work opportunities for rural women as most non-farm jobs have been generated in the construction sector. The underlying factor that drives women out of the labour force once the family income crosses a certain threshold is the force of patriarchy. It is the key reason why empirical evidence from


14

developing countries including India points to a ―U‖ curve for female labour participation rates, which drops after the family income crosses a minimum income threshold. This rises later at much higher levels of affluence. A look at the inter-state variations in female labour force participation rates seems to confirm the role of patriarchy as an important driver of gender gaps in labour participation rates.

Indian Workers among the Most Satisfied with Their Jobs Globally - Indian workers are among the most satisfied with their jobs globally, and nearly one in five Indians like their jobs so much that they would even work for free, says a survey. According to a survey by online career and recruitment solutions provider Monster Worldwide, and Gfk, an independent global market research company, over half of Indian workers (55 per cent) love or like their jobs a lot, placing India at third position in international happiness ranking, behind Canada (64 per cent) and the Netherlands (57 per cent). Among the seven countries surveyed, the United States was ranked fourth with 53 per cent saying they either love or like their jobs, followed by the United Kingdom (46 per cent, 5th), France (43 per cent, 6th) and Germany (35 per cent, 7th). The international survey that polled more than 8,000 workers in Canada, France, Germany, India, the Netherlands, the U.K. and the U.S., said nearly one in five (18 per cent) Indians love their jobs so much that they would work for free. Moreover, only five per cent of Indian workers admit they actively dislike their jobs and no Indian worker said they hate their jobs — the lowest percentage of all countries surveyed. ―The research findings are a reflection of prevailing business scenario and employee/worker mindset where they want to be safe and not take any risks,‖ Monster.com (India/Middle East South East Asia) Managing Director Sanjay Modi said. The survey further said that money does not buy happiness as those with medium level pay packets are happier than those with huge salaries. Three in five (60 per cent) of those with middle incomes say they like or love their job as compared to just over half (52 per cent) of high earners. Lowest earners are the least content with less than half (47 per cent) saying they are happy at work. ―There are many variables to job satisfaction — and the size of your pay check is only one aspect,‖ Mr. Modi added.

Use CSR Funds to Impart Skills: Ramadorai - With the demand-supply mismatch in skilled manpower posing a threat to the economy‘s growth, the industry must use a part of the funds set aside for corporate social responsibility (CSR) for imparting skills to workers and aim at job-led growth, prime minister's advisor S Ramadorai said. Although two years of economic slowdown have slowed hiring, the main problem that India Inc confronts today is a severe shortage of skilled labour. Hardly a tenth of fresh management graduates and a fifth of engineers are employable in the industry, says a survey report prepared by CII in collaboration with PeopleStrong and Wheebox. ―Even as we think of skills, we must match them with jobs,‖ Ramadorai, the former TCS chief, who now heads National Skills Development Corporation and National Skill Development Agency, said at a CII conference. He urged private companies to allow their employees to volunteer to train people in various skills as well as devote some part of their CSR funds towards skill development. ―In a country with over 600 million people in the working age group, the need of the hour is ‗job-led growth‘. We need to focus efforts on things that generate employment, such as cultivating entrepreneurs and promoting SMEs. Whether it is the services or the manufacturing sector, our mantra should be — ‗more with more for more‘. By this I mean generate more output with more people in a manner to impact and benefit more people,‖ he said. While pointing out that the current educational system was not adequate, Ramadorai said there was a need to adopt Massive Online Open Courses to provide high quality education to a much larger cross-section of people. The National IT Backbone could be leveraged for this purpose.

Consumer Price Index Numbers for Industrial Workers (CPI-IW) on base 2001=100 and Agricultural and Rural Labourers on base 1986-87=100 for the month November, 2013

Consumer Price Index Numbers for Industrial Workers- The All-India CPI-IW

for November, 2013 rose by 2 points and pegged at 243 (two hundred and forty three). On 1-

month percentage change, it increased by 0.83 per cent between October and November

compared with 0.46 per cent between the same two months a year ago. The largest upward

pressure to the change in current index came from Food group contributing 2.23 percentage

points to the total change. At item level, Rice, Wheat, Wheat Atta, Milk, Pure Ghee, Garlic,

Potato, Tomato and other Vegetable items, Tea Readymade etc. are responsible for the rise in

index. However, this was compensated to some extent by Groundnut Oil, Fish Fresh, Poultry,

Onion, Ginger, Electric Charges, Medicine (Allopathic), Petrol, putting downward pressure on

the index. The year-on-year inflation measured by monthly CPI-IW stood at 11.47 per cent for

November, 2013, as compared to 11.06 per cent for the previous month and 9.55 per cent during

the corresponding month of the previous year. Similarly, the Food inflation stood at 16.17 per

cent against 15.02 per cent of the previous month and 10.85 per cent during the corresponding

month of the previous year. At centre level, Bokaro recorded the highest increase of 11 points

followed by Giridih, Kodarma and Angul-Talcher (9 points each), Munger-Jamalpur (8 points)

and Rourkela, Sholapur and Raniganj (7 points each). Among others, 6 points rise was registered

in 5 centres, 5 points in 5 centres, 4 points in 8 centres, 3 points in 15 centres, 2 points in 14

centres and 1 point in 12 centres. On the contrary, Surat centre reported a decline of 6 points

followed by Amritsar, Bhavnagar and Vadodara (4 points each), Coonoor and Nagpur (2 points

each) and Ahmedabad centre 1 point. Rest of the 4 centres‘ indices remained stationary. The

indices of 40 centres are above All-India Index and other 38 centres‘ indices are below national

average.

Consumer Price Index Numbers for Agricultural Labourers and Rural Labourers

The All-India Consumer Price Index Numbers for Agricultural Labourers and Rural Labourers

(Base: 1986-87=100) for November, 2013 increased by 11 points each to stand at 777 ( Seven

hundred and seventy seven) points. The rise in index varied from State to State. In case of

Agricultural Labourers, it recorded an increase which varied between 1 to 21 points. Haryana

with 860 points topped the index table whereas Himachal Pradesh with the index level of 631

points stood at the bottom. In case of Rural Labourers, it recorded an increase between 2 to 22

points in 19 States and remained stationary in 1 State. Haryana with 854 points topped the index

table whereas Himachal Pradesh State with the index level of 666 points stood at the bottom.

Agricultural Labourers index for Bihar State registered the maximum increase of 21 points

while Rural Labourers index for Assam State registered the maximum increase of 22 points

mainly due to increase in the prices of wheat atta, maize, milk, vegetables & fruits, firewood,

saree cotton mill and doctor‘s fee. Point to point rate of inflation based on the CPI-AL and CPI-

RL increased from 12.65% and 12.48% in October, 2013 to 13.43% and 13.27% in November,

2013. Inflation based on food index of CPI-AL and CPI-RL are 14.73% and 14.54% respectively

during November, 2013.

(b) FOREIGN LABOUR Democrats' Immigration Bill Rings Alarm Bell for Indian Firms - A Democratic Party bill, aimed at overhauling the immigration system introduced in House of Representatives this month, has sent alarm bells ringing among Indian IT firms as it includes provisions that would be detrimental to the businesses of such companies. The bill (HR 15) introduced in the House by the Democratic Leader, Nancy Pelosi, and co-sponsored by several members of the Congressional India Caucus, carries the same killer provisions as the one passed by the Senate. The killer provisions are in particular related to the much-sought after H-1B and L-1 visas. Given that the Democrats in the House are in a minority, Congressional aides said that the chances of this bill being passed with the Republican support is unlikely and it was introduced by Pelosi early this month as part of the larger political game plan to put pressure on the Republicans to bring a reform bill to the floor.


ILO Report Says Additional Measures Needed to Tackle Portugal Jobs Crisis - One in seven jobs has been lost in Portugal since the start of the global crisis in 2008, says a new report, "Tackling the jobs crisis in Portugal", by the International Labour Organization (ILO. A large part of this deterioration has occurred since the start of the financial assistance programme in 2011, with young workers and families with small children disproportionately affected. The report describes the socio-economic situation in the country as ―critical,‖ marked by unprecedented levels of unemployment, a drastic decline of productive investment and an economic recovery that is likely to be too weak to make a significant dent in the jobless figures. ―Much of the policy action so far has focused on reducing fiscal deficits and boosting competitiveness,‖ says Raymond Torres, head of the ILO‘s Research Department. According to the report, new policies are needed to tackle the negative trends. ―Cuts in wages and welfare programmes, combined with tax increases, have eroded family incomes and domestic demand. Small- and medium-sized enterprises struggle to find credit, which means lost opportunities for job creation,‖ Torres explains. The report shows that it is possible to reduce fiscal deficits and curb unemployment at the same time, instead of favouring one target at the expense of the other.

Labour Standards Increasingly Included in Bilateral and Regional Free Trade Agreements - The number of trade agreements that include labour provisions has increased significantly over the past two decades, according to a new report by the International Labour Organization (ILO). The report on the Social Dimensions of Free Trade Agreements says that there has been a substantial growth in the number of trade agreements featuring labour-related measures since the mid-1990s, including more ‗South-South agreements‘ between developing countries. In total, there were 58 agreements with labour provisions in June 2013 – almost a quarter of the total 248 trade agreements currently in force. These have included provisions on minimum working conditions, enforcement of national labour laws, as well as monitoring and enforcing labour standards. ―The increasing number of trade agreements which include provisions with respect to labour standards is a reflection of the growing awareness that trade liberalization, important as it is, should go hand-in-hand with progress on the employment and social front,‖ said Raymond Torres, Director, in charge of the ILO Research Department. In some cases, the improvement of labour standards has been made a condition for the entry-into-force of agreements between countries. In the last six of seven US trade agreements, some improvements in labour standards were made prior to their coming into force. In almost 60 per cent of cases, the agreements promote compliance with labour standards, without direct commercial or financial consequences attached to them. This often involves cooperation between partner countries to improve working conditions and commitments to maintain labour standards.

Migrants Face Systematic Abuse in Qatar, Says Amnesty International - Qatar‘s feverish preparations for hosting the FIFA world cup in 2022 has triggered systematic abuse of migrant workers, mostly from South and South-east Asia, who are arriving in the wealthy Emirate in droves. The rights group, Amnesty International, has put the spotlight on the ―routine abuse of


17

migrant workers — in some cases amounting to forced labour.‖ The report, ―The Dark Side of Migration: Spotlight on Qatar‘s construction sector ahead of the World Cup,‖ has unravelled in considerable detail the various dimensions and mechanisms used for systematically abusing migrants, who are arriving at the rate of 20 workers per hour, in the hope of benefiting from an unprecedented construction boom in the tiny Gulf Emirate. The report, compiled after extensive interviews with expat workers, as well as meetings with company and government officials, points to the existence of ―complex contractual chains‖ that often display inhuman disregard for workers‘ rights. A variety of mechanisms are deployed to deprive migrant workers of their basic human rights, including non-payment of wages, harsh and dangerous working conditions, and ―shocking standards‖ of accommodation. The report points to appalling safety standards, by quoting a representative of Doha‘s main hospital, who said earlier this year more than 1,000 people, falling from heights, while at work, had been admitted to the trauma unit in 2012. Ten per cent of these were disabled, and the resulting mortality rate was ―significant.‖ Companies frequently withheld passports, to be used as instruments of blackmail. The rights group has consequently called for an overhaul of the ‗sponsorship‘ system, which is a root cause of the inability of migrant workers to leave the country or change jobs without their employers‘ consent.

Cameron Curbs Welfare Benefits for EU Migrants - Britain‘s Prime Minister David Cameron promised to make it harder for migrants from the European Union to access UK‘s welfare system and pledged to try to restrict the freedom of movement of people from poorer EU states in time. His plan, an attempt to address public fears about an influx of Romanians and Bulgarians when EU restrictions on those two countries expire next year, drew a rebuke from the European Commission which said his intervention was ―an unfortunate over-reaction‖. But Cameron, whose Conservative party risks seeing its vote split at European elections next year and at a national election in 2015 by the anti-immigration UK Independence Party, is under pressure to act at a time when he is trailing in polls. He has said he will try to renegotiate Britain‘s membership of the EU to give it more of a say over its own affairs and has promised to hold an in/out referendum if re-elected in 2015 amid public scepticism about the benefits of belonging to the bloc. ―The EU of today is very different from the EU of 30 years ago,‖ Cameron said in an article in the Financial Times. ―We need to face the fact that free movement has become a trigger for vast population movements caused by huge disparities in income. That is extracting talent out of countries that need to retain their best people and placing pressure on communities.‖ Cameron said he planned to change British law so that new EU migrants would have to wait three months before they could access unemployment benefits, saying he shared deep public concerns about a possible influx of new migrants. He said he planned to try to renegotiate the way EU freedom of movement rules are applied to make it harder for people from poorer EU countries to relocate to richer countries. That, he said, could involve capping the number of EU migrants or withholding full freedom of movement rights.

(The Financial Express, 28.11.2013) Jobs, Price Growth Offer Ray of Hope for Euro Zone - The first fall in euro zone unemployment in almost three years coupled with rising prices gave fresh momentum to an economic recovery, but a growing rift between the bloc‘s haves and have-nots continued to widen. The improvement is a welcome sign that the euro zone‘s rebound is picking up steam, more than five years after a financial crisis erupted that forced five countries, from Cyprus to Spain, to seek emergency aid from their neighbours. The jobless rate in October fell to 12.1%, the first fall since February 2011, the European Union‘s statistics office Eurostat said. That was better than economists had forecast but it belies a wide disparity across the 17 countries using the currency. While just 5% of Austrians are unemployed, 27% of Greeks and Spaniards are without a job. In total, an unprecedented 19 million people are out of work. The sharp differences between the countries in the euro zone, both in price rises and unemployment, present the European Central Bank with a conundrum. But its power to remedy this widening rift between prosperous countries such as Germany and struggling states including Portugal is limited.

LABOUR DECISIONS

Compassionate Appointment cannot be Claimed as a Legal Right - In this case, the

respondent applied for compassionate appointment as his father who was working as a Class III

employee with the appellant Bank died while in harness. The claim of compassionate

appointment was however denied as during the pendency of the application filed by the

respondent, a new scheme came into force which has a provision for granting ex-gratia payment

to the family instead of compassionate appointment. Consequently, a writ petition was preferred

by the respondent before the High Court wherein the learned Single Judge took the view that as

the cause of action had arisen prior to the commencement of the new scheme, therefore, the case

was to be considered as per the then existing scheme which provided for compassionate

appointment and not for grant of ex-gratia payment. The Court directed the appellant not only to

consider the case of appointment of the respondent on compassionate grounds but rather directed

the appellant to appoint him. The appellant challenged the said order by filing the Special

Appeal which has been dismissed. Hence this appeal. The apex Court heard learned counsel for

the parties and opined that every appointment to public office must be made by strictly adhering

to the mandatory requirements of Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution. An exception by

providing employment on compassionate grounds has been carved out in order to remove the

financial constraints on the bereaved family, which has lost its bread-earner. Mere death of a

Government employee in harness does not entitle the family to claim compassionate

employment. The Competent Authority has to examine the financial condition of the family of

the deceased employee and it is only if it is satisfied that without providing employment, the

family will not be able to meet the crisis, that a job is to be offered to the eligible member of the

family. More so, the person claiming such appointment must possess required eligibility for the

post. It was further opined that the Court should not stretch the provision by liberal interpretation

beyond permissible limits on humanitarian grounds. The Apex Court considered various aspects

of service jurisprudence and came to the conclusion that as the appointment on compassionate

ground may not be claimed as a matter of right nor an applicant becomes entitled automatically

for appointment, rather it depends on various other circumstances i.e. eligibility and financial

conditions of the family, etc., the application has to be considered in accordance with the

scheme. In case the Scheme does not create any legal right, a candidate cannot claim that his

case is to be considered as per the Scheme existing on the date the cause of action had arisen i.e.

death of the incumbent on the post. In view of the above position, the appeal was allowed and

the impugned judgments of the High Court were set aside.

The All India Index is a weighted average of 78 constituent centre Indices compiled by the Labour Bureau. The current series of the Index Numbers has been introduced with effect from January, 2006 index replacing the series on base: 1982=100. The All India General Index as well as Group Indices for previous series on base:1982=100 can be obtained by multiplying the current series indices by the respective Linking Factors. A note on the scope and methods of construction of these index numbers was published in April 2006 issue of the ―Indian Labour Journal‖. The All India Consumer Price Index Number for the month of October, 2013 increased by 3 point and stood at 241.

A.1.1.2.

The Index Numbers measure the extent to which the overall levels of retail prices of goods and services consumed by Industrial Workers has changed when compared with the base period viz., 2001=100. As compared to the previous month the magnitude of rise/fall in the General Index varies from centre to centre. During October, 2013, the index recorded an increase of 9 points in Bhavnagar followed by Ahmedabad, Labac Silchar and Kodarma (8 points each) and Vadodara and Surat (7 Points each). Among others, 8 centres have recorded rise of 6 points followed by 5 points in 10 centres, 4 points in 8 centres, 3 points in 9 centres, 2 points in 10 centres and 1 point in 11 centres. Belgaum and Chhindwara centres reported a decline of (3 points each), 2 points in Mercara, and 1 point in 3 centres. The remaining 10 centres‘ indices remained stationary.

average of 20 constituent State indices compiled by the Labour Bureau for Agricultural and

Rural Labourers separately. A detailed note on the scope and method of construction of these

indices was published in February, 1996 issue of the Indian Labour Journal.


24

The Consumer Price Index Numbers (Base: 1986-87=100) for Agricultural and Rural

Labourers for 20 States and All-India are presented group-wise in Tables A.1.2.1 (a) and (b) for

the months of September, 2013and October, 2013. These index numbers measure the extent of

change in the retail prices of goods and services consumed by Agricultural and Rural Labourers

as compared with the base period viz., 1986-87. The All-India Consumer Price Index Numbers

for Agricultural Labourers and Rural Labourers on base 1986-87=100 for October, 2013

increased by 7 points each to stand at 766 (Seven hundred and sixty six) points for both the

series.

A.1.2.2 (a) and (b) Monthly Consumer Prices of Selected Articles for Agricultural and

Rural Labourers – The monthly consumer prices of selected articles of index basket of

agricultural and rural labourers utilised in the compilation of Consumer Price Index Numbers

(Base: 1986-87=100) for 20 States separately for Agricultural and Rural Labourers for the month

of October, 2013 are given in Tables A.1.2.2. (a) and (b). Though the spatial coverage and the

individual sample village price quotations in both the series relating to the Agricultural and

Rural Labourers are the same, the weighted prices of items at the State level will be slightly

different from each other due to difference in the regional weights in each of the series. 2 Wages and Earnings

A.2.1 (a) and (b) Average Daily Wage Rates for Agricultural and Non-agricultural Occupations -

As a part of Rural Labour Enquiry, daily wage rates in respect of eighteen agricultural and non-

agricultural occupations from a fixed set of 600 sample villages spread over 66 N.S.S. regions in

20 States are being collected alongwith rural retail price data in Schedule 3.01 (R) by the Field

Operations Division of the National Sample Survey Organisation since 1986-87. On the

recommendations of the Governing Council of the National Sample Survey Organisation in its 61st

meeting, Labour Bureau started the compilation and analysis of Wage Rate Data w.e.f. April,

1998. State-wise and all-India average daily wage rates by occupation and sex for the month of

October,2013 have been presented in Table A.2.1 (a) for agricultural occupations and Table A.2.1

(b) for non- agricultural occupations.

The average wage rates at all-India level are derived by dividing the sum total of wages of

all the 20 States by the number of quotations. State-wise averages have been restricted only to

those occupations where the number of quotations are five or more in order to avoid inconsistency

in wages paid to different categories of workers on account of difference in number of quotations.

However, for working out all-India averages all the quotations have been taken into account to

arrive at total number of quotations at all-India level. At all-India level also, the number of

quotations for working out occupation-wise averages have been restricted to five or more.

3 Industrial Dispute

A.3.1. Sector / Sphere-wise Number of Disputes, Workers Involved and Mandays Lost due to

Industrial Disputes during January to October, 2013 – These statistics are received in the

Bureau from the State Labour Departments and Regional Labour Commissioners (Central) in the

prescribed format in the shape of monthly voluntary returns covering State and Central Spheres

separately. Information on Strikes and Lockouts is collected by the concerned authorities and

sent to the Bureau every month. Consolidated information for the year 2013 (As on 29-11-2013)

is presented in Table A.3.1.

A.3.2. Industrial Disputes (All Strikes and Lockouts) during January to October, 2013- State-wise scenario of Industrial Disputes during January to October, 2013 is presented in Table A.3.

2NOTES -1. Labour Bureau takes every care to ensure correctness of the information presented in Sections A and B of the Journal. However, any error, if noticed, may kindly be brought to the notice of the Labour Bureau.

2. The indices given in Sections A and B measure the relative change in Consumer Prices over time at each Centre and as such these cannot be used for comparison of costliness among the different Centres.
