Webinar on State Level Meeting on Migrant Labour – Madhya Pradesh
Socio-Legal Information Centre
conducted a zoom webinar on State Level Meeting on Migrant
Labour – Madhya Pradesh. The crisis migrant workers are facing today, is
an unprecedented national emergency during this global pandemic. After nearly
two months of waiting to go home, with no jobs and money, many workers took it
upon themselves and started walking back home covering hundreds of kms on foot
Many still found themselves stranded with no hope of an early departure,
without food and basic necessities. In spite of the immeasurable suffering of
the entire labour force, many state governments went ahead and made substantial
changes in their respective labour laws, adding to the workers' distress.
Keeping all
this in mind, MP SLIC organised a state level meeting on “Labour Rights during
COVID 19.” The meeting aimed to encapsulate the problems faced by workers all
across the state of Madhya Pradesh and to capture and analyse the recent changes
made in state laws.
