Kerala CM Criticizes Centre's Labour Policies
Kerala's Chief Minister, Pinarayi Vijayan, spoke at a big meeting about workers' rights.
He said the central government's new labour rules are not fair to workers.
Instead, they help big companies make more money.
He explained that workers' rights were earned through hard struggles and should not be taken away.
He also mentioned that the new rules make it easier for companies to fire workers and reduce their benefits.
He urged people to resist these changes to protect workers' rights and ensure a fair society.
Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan criticized the central government's labour policies at the Labour Conclave in Thiruvananthapuram.
He argued that the new labour codes prioritize corporate interests over workers' rights and dilute labour protections.

He mentioned specific issues like the increased threshold for government permission to lay off workers and the potential undermining of minimum wage norms.
