India is the country where
most of the employers are practicing “Policing theory
of Labour Welfare” and some time we see practices based on the theory of Ricardo “The subsistence Theory of Wage.
Sometimes people get used
to or sometimes agitated. The number of persons who stand against exploitation
always remains low in comparison to other used to. In the economic condition
where people are barely earning their livelihood it would be ridicules to expect
strong initiative from employees.
Now the question comes who
is there to serve against exploitation
1. Government 2. Employer 3.Trade Unions 4. Employee itself
I believe trade unions are
not strong enough to fight with. As the number of membership fall below average
in comparison to other developed or developing countries i.e. India 10% France
10% Holland 25% England 44%, US 16%, Japan 25%, Sweden 91 %, Denmark 87% Norway
63%.
Among 10% membership one
can see only class 4 and 3 are the member of Unions. Other than Class 4 and 3
don’t bother to be the part of Trade Unions.
And now comes to Unions,
smalls unions don’t have system of membership fee, How long Will they Run? So
they have adopted the system of taking % of amount in order to support workmen
against any dispute settlement. The workmen being week in bargaining position
don’t have any alternative but to pay % (as decided by the respective union)
for any kind of dispute settlement. That’s how the disputes become the way of
earning for unions rather than social effort to justice.
Employers they are always strive
to collect wealth, no matter on the cost of others welfare. Some sick practices
of the employers may be seen in form of: Splitting minimum wages, manipulating
payments/Reimbursement, tempering with the welfare measures, malpractices at
the time of separation.
They do as they know the
loop holes in laws whereas for workmen law is too complex to understand (Still
Indian Law makers believes that everybody know laws).
Government passes bills
and Law without considering public life. As per an example in Haryana Minimum
wage for skilled worker is close to 5000 K. If we make a simple assumption on
normal expenditure, 2 K for Room Rent, 800 For Transportation, 200 for
Incidental Expanses, 2 K for food for single person. Now think what the
critatia while setting minimum wage was. Government should conduct proper
research, if still it says the research is filne than there it would be a
question mark on the performance of Government officials.
Government says that the
person who is spending 32 Rs in a day is not poor. I wish to give them 3 times
of the amount and would like to learn the way how they utilize the Money.”
