Sectoral boards for workers hailed

Staff Reporter

CHENNAI: A seminar on `comprehensive protection for the unorganised sector workers,' organised here recently by the Unorganised Workers Federation, welcomed the State Government's proposal to establish sectoral boards for workers.

Such boards were necessary in view of the lax enforcement of laws and would provide "much needed protection for workers in terms of employment, wages, dispute resolution, social security and welfare," a release issued by the federation said.

The meeting sought inclusion of sanitary or scavenging workers (in the private sector), childcare workers (in the private and NGO sector), those engaged in hand embroidery and beads work and those employed in all places of worship in the scheduled employments enumeration under the Tamil Nadu Manual Workers' Act, 1982.
