My union is currently in negotiations with the Employer/BCGov. I have no idea what to expect. I dare not hope for anything. But I do. Thank god for Unions and Collective Bargaining.

India abolished bonded labour in 1976, but various forms of modern slavery persist, entrapping 11 million, while committees to enforce the law are absent or don’t work, and surveys to identify bonded labour have not been conducted for years. Workers are often beaten, locked up & paid well below minimum wage.

“Between shifts the workers, mostly young women, their faces set in exhaustion, shuffle from building to building…
Li Mei is worn out, so she looks older than her 18 years. Her skin is bad from too little daylight and she has many healing and still-open cuts on her hands.”
(Extract from a 2007 book by Eric Clark)

Ola, Uber and Zomato: India's gig workers see hope in new state law
The western state of Rajasthan passed a landmark law that aims to provide platform-based gig workers social security benefits - a right they have been demanding for a long time - among other provisions.

A proposal to allow 12 hour work shifts for women in place of 8 hour ones has been dropped due to pressure from #labour #Unions . This is a consequence of the defeat of the #bjp in May this year. Clearly a link between #secular #democracy and #labourrights in #india. #Tamilnadu likely to follow suit.

The EU has moved a step closer to improving the working conditions of platform workers.
The deal establishes that platform - or gig - workers have to fulfil three out of seven criteria to be considered employees. These include the ability to fix the amount of money for a ride, turning down work or choosing their appearance.
If they are considered employees, they will be entitled to labour rights like paid holiday or sick leave.

Factories (Karnataka Amendment) Bill, 2023: A step backwards for workers’ rights
The amendment disregards Article 42 of the Constitution and renders the hard-won protections of the Factories Act useless. To honour the Constitution’s commitments and safeguard workers’ rights, the amendment must be revoked immediately.

"In 2015, Dewi founded #PERKAWIS, or the Association of Tourist Workers, a union to support sex workers in the region and educate them about health, financial issues and the law. The name was chosen in consideration of the stigma associated with #sexwork and to sound palatable to religious groups in the region."
