Honourable President of India,

New Delhi.

We most respectfully submits:

Namaskar.

       At outset BMS welcome the endeavour of Central Government to revive the post  covid 19 economy of the country by allocating 20 lacs crore to different sector to uplift MSMEs,Farmers,Workers etc.BMS also congratulate the Central Government for minimising the human life loss due to the pandemic in Indiawhen compared to developed countries.

       But, at the same time, BMS is very much pained to note that some state governments viz., UP,MP and Gujarat have passed Ordinancesfreezing Labour Laws for 3/4 years.Many more States are on way to follow the same path. Many of state governments have amended the Factories Act and increased working hours from 8hrs to 12hrs without any consultation with stakeholders like BMS.

     We come to know from different sources that more investments will be attracted resulting in more developmentsin the state. But BMS can't digest the idea of state governments that workers are road blockers of development.BMS wants that the s

State governments should convince the country,how workers are hurdle in way to development.We are thankful to the Prime Minister Sri Narendra Modiji for recognising workers’ contribution in development of the country during his speech on 12th May 2020.BMS is of considered opinion that these actions of State governments is misleading, illegal, unwarranted ,against humanity, violation of fundamental rights, violation of 47 ILO Conventions and also against the vision of development.

As such BMS has no option other than to proceed for agitation programmes to safe guard the interest of poor workers with following demands:

1.... Immediate withdrawal of freezing of Labour Laws for three years or more by UP,MP and GujaratState governments.

2 .... Immediate withdrawal of enhanced working hours by State Governments of Maharashtra,Goa,Rajasthan, Odisha,Bihar etc.

3....Ensure payment of wages for March and April 2020 to all workers.

4......Ensure immediate concerns of food,shelter health, transport, job etc to migrant workers at both ends.

5 .... Prepare National Register of migrant workers.

   

BMS hope that your majesty will desist from giving assent to the Ordinances,look into the legitimate demand of workers, direct the State Government and do the needful.

     

  With Regards,
