Government has sneaked through three Labour codes through both the houses of Parliament, while the opposition was busy boycotting the Parliament.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Even with the existing Labour Acts the workmen generally used to get a raw deal as the balance in most cases used to be tilted highly in favour of the Management.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Even a small change to these labor acts is bound to cause serious damages to the workers cause.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Shockingly, the Government brazenly changed these acts forgoing several clauses which safeguard the workers protection and has even changed the definition of \u201cwages\u201d and \u201cworkmen\u201d in these codes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">The saddest part is that the people who are supposed to safe guard the rights of the working class are not even bothered to respond.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">The biggest Unions in India are that of Railway employees\u2019 and both the recognised Federations and their affiliated Zonal Bodies of Zonal Railways are silent in this issue till now which is nothing but ignominious.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">It is clear that these so called leaders of recognised federations and zonal unions of Railways are scared to confront the Government in any serious issue and are content to live their luxurious life at the cost of workers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">It is pertinent that the workers should kick away these black sheeps from their respective posts at least now so that at least some respect will remain in the trade union movement in this country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">#Published as received<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:
