The government today said it will carefully examine the “hire and fire” clause under the draft Labour Code on Industrial Relations Bill, 2015, that seeks to make retrenchment easier for employers.
The decision on the proposed “hire and fire” clause will not be taken in haste, labour minister Bandaru Dattatreya said today.
The draft bill proposes to make retrenchment easier for companies employing up to 300 workers as well as make it tougher to form a trade union.
The bill proposes to combine Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, Trade Unions Act, 1926, and Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946 into a single code.
