NO PERMANENT APPOINTMENT IN INDUSTRY HEREAFTER;

PENSION WILL BE A DISTANT DREAM

FOR FUTURE GENERATION OF WORKERS !!!

IT IS A FRESH BRUTAL ATTACK ON WORKING CLASS BY THE GOVERNMENT. GOVERNMENT HAS NOTIFIED SIGNIFICANT AMENDMENTS TO THE INDUSTRIAL EMPLOYMENT CENTRAL RULES 1946 EXTENDING THE SCHEME OF FIXED TERM EMPLOYMENT TO ALL SECTORS. CENTRAL TRADE UNIONS COULD STOP SUCH MOVES IN THE PAST THROUGH JOINT OPPOSITION. NOW THE GOVERNMENT, WITHOUT MINDING THE OPPOSITION, HAS COME OUT WITH THE CHANGES.

BMS HAS OPPOSED THE MOVE. (please see its statement given below).

BUT BMS, THOUGH IN SANGH PARIVAR, HAS NO ROLE IN POLICY MAKING. IT RAISES TEETHLESS OPPOSITION LIKE MAKING STATEMENTS. THE NET RESULT OF THESE CHANGES IS THAT THE WORKERS WHO WILL GET SOME JOB IN INDIAN INDUSTRY WILL BE DENIED PENSION AND RETIREMENT BENEFITS. AND FULL FREEDOM TO THE EMPLOYERS TO HIRE AND FIRE.

Statement by BMS leadership

RSS- affiliate Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS) today criticised the government for extending fixed term employment to all sector, saying this will legalise hire and fire, while permanent jobs would vanish.

"Government should immediately withdraw the controversial new notification on 'fixed term employment' which extends it to all employments in the country," said Saji Narayanan C K, President, Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh in a statement.

The BMS said that by this notification that amends the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Central Rules, 1946, permanent employment will vanish from the industrial sector and all jobs will be converted into temporary contract works for a fixed period only.

The union said, "It is also highly objectionable that a fixed term contract can be cancelled by the employer unilaterally by giving only two weeks' notice. None of the objections raised by the BMS was accepted by the Government. ..
