SC Refuses to Mandate Minimum Wages for Domestic Workers

The Supreme Court of India recently said no to a request to make new laws for domestic workers, like maids and helpers.

The court said it's not their job to tell the government what laws to make.

They also said that trade unions might be stopping industries from growing.

The people who asked for the new laws said domestic workers are not paid enough and need protection.

The court agreed that some workers might be treated badly, but said the government is already thinking about this and should decide what to do.

They also warned that making new laws could cause problems, like more lawsuits.

The court told the people who asked for the new laws to keep talking to the government about it.

The Chief Justice also talked about how some trade unions might be making things worse by being too aggressive.
