Labour Rights

Workers including those who work in unorganised sectors face a unique problem. They face a multitude of challenges in the workplace on a day-to-day basis. This can extend from illegal wage cuts to termination and sexual harassment by their superiors or others in the workplace. It is the duty of a society to protect its economic backbone which consists of the labour of the workers from such demoralising challenges. Towards this purpose, India has comprehensive labour laws most of which have been drafted by erudite titans such as Dr B.R Ambedkar. While these laws exist in theory, the reality is sometimes quite difficult to reconcile with theory. Workers have seen their rights diluted by various means some of which can also be a fallout of the problems inherent in our legal system. This includes inordinate delays in cases being decided to the lack of adequate or in some cases any kind of experienced legal representation. We at NNF are one of the few organisations in the field of litigation actively working towards upholding the rights of workers in the country.
