Question
Explain the following concept.
Workers movement
Solution
- Labour movement in India emerged in the background of industrialisation. Textile industry railway companies were established in India in the latter half of the nineteenth century. In 1899 railway workers went on strike for their demands. However, the first organisation for resolving the issues of workers was established in 1920.
- This organisation is known as the All India Trade Union Congress. In the post-independence period, the labour movement started working more effectively. In the 1960s and 1970s, the labour movement organised several agitations. But from the 1980s, the labour movement started getting disintegrated. Globalisation has affected the labour movement to a great extent.
- In India, workers are facing different problems. Unstable employment conditions, contract labour, financial insecurity, absence of legal protection for workers, unlimited working hours, insecurity at the workplace, and health hazards are some of the problems.
