Another point is recently highest issue is exploitation of contract workers. They don’t get proper basic amenities as well as face inequality in wages for same nature of work. The central trade unions are also playing good role for protecting the rights of workers. But the government and the organization are just focus on to follow the law only not beyond as social responsibility or taking care as human. Still the exploitation of worker are issue for the country and if it’s being increased than there are the more chance for increase the number of trade union and its shows that industries are just doing show off like providing the welfare facilities and CSR activity. And not being ethical in nature.
