The following is my comment on the article"MNCs cannot wish away union"
appeared in The Hindu Business Line Dated 22/09/11.
The write up justifies the need for recognising workers right to unionise and fight for their just rights by MNCs. The exploitation of workers has been going on for years and taking labourers on contract basis without any welfare or terminal benefits has been the order of the day. No doubt, making the workers to discharge their duties and responsibilities is sine qua non for any economy to register growth, it is also equally the responsibility and duty of the employers to see that workers are not exploited to satisfy their greed to amass wealth. The reforms in Labour laws are long overdue and it is the ideal time for the Government to take all the Unions into confidence to initaite and finalise meaningful laws to ensure smooth functioning of companies without any sort of exploitation of workers. They have to be compensated for their labour and militancy should never be tolerated. Politicisation of unions should be avoided and reforms of laws need to reflect this strongly.
