Unorganised Workers Bill

The emphasis on economic growth over social security seen in the last two decades has led to profound shifts in prevailing methods of manufacturing as well as an increasing 'informalisation' of the workforce. The proposed Unorganised Workers Bill seeks to encompass a large category of workers in the informal sector and even those who may not be directly governed by an employer-employee relationship. However, the success of the Unorganised Workers Act will depend much on how actively workers themselves are able to participate in its implementation.
