Overview

Ten major Indian trade unions have condemned the government's newly implemented labour codes, calling them a "deceptive fraud" against workers and demanding their withdrawal. The unions plan nationwide protests on Wednesday. While the government states the codes simplify rules and enhance worker protections, critics argue they allow easier hiring and firing, longer shifts, and increased flexibility for businesses, potentially impacting employment conditions.
