General News |
| A railway employees’ association today said the Union Budget for 2018-19 was “anti-workers” as there was nothing for their welfare. In a statement, the All India Railwaymen’s Federation (AIRF) said the budget came as “a dampener” for the entire sector. “It is a very disappointing budget for the hardworking workers. There is nothing for their welfare in the budget and instead of relaxation in personal tax, they have increased education and health cess. The workers have been duped,” AIRF general secretary Shiv Gopal Mishra said. In the budget, Rs 314.24 crore has been earmarked for amenities for railway staff. Last year, it was Rs 235.76 crore. For staff quarters, an additional sum of Rs 353 crore has been allotted in the budget. The railways also has a corpus of Rs 762.58 crore for compensation claims of workmen.

General News |
| Central trade unions including Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS) today criticised the government for not giving attention to commoners in the Budget, saying “it has totally neglected the labour woes”. Disappointed over the Budget, the BMS has decided to hold countrywide demonstrations tomorrow. “Even though today’s budget for the first time has given more thrust to rural development, agriculture, health, infrastructure etc, it has totally neglected the woes of labour,” BMS General Secretary Virjesh Upadhyay said in a statement. He said the Anganwadi workers, ASHA karmis and other scheme workers, who are among the poorest-paid workers appointed under the Central Government, have got no relief in the budget. He further said the middle class employees are unhappy as there is increase in the tax exemption ceiling, while the cess on income tax has been increased from 3 per cent to 4 per cent and this was done at a time when the budget claims 41 per cent increase in the tax … |

Deccan Herald - News |
| The government on Thursday announced extending fixed-term contract jobs to all sectors in the union budget only to attract strong criticism from Sangh-affiliated Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh, which said permanent jobs are going to extinct soon. The BMS announced a nationwide protest on Friday against the “total neglect” of labourers as “none of our demands were met” by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley. Emphasising that creating job opportunities and facilitating generation of employment has been at the core of policy-making, Jaitley said, “the facility of fixed-term employment will be extended to all sectors.” So far, fixed-term employment was allowed in apparel and footwear sectors and the Ministry of Labour on January 8 issued a draft regulation seeking opinion from stakeholders on the issue. The government feels that this would help in employment generation and help in ease of doing business as it would enable companies hire workers for short-term assignments and terminate their services when projects are … |
