‘Hire and Fire’ without Changing Laws ... Tapan Sen
Conspiracy
to Impose
Slavery on Working Class;
‘Hire
and Fire’ without Changing Laws
Tapan Sen
November 2018
The BJP government at the Centre, right from the day
it assumed office, has been working overtime to empower the employers’ class
with the unbridled right to “hire and
fire” workers at their will through various routes. Its sole motive is to
impose the conditions of slavery on the working people of the country who
actually produce the GDP, generate resources for the national exchequer and
also generate profit for the employers.
“Ease
of doing business” is the central focus of the Modi government. In the
process, weakening and finally eliminating trade unions at workplaces is the
main objective. Continuing loot on the workers and their rights is its modus
operandi.
Attempts of Hire & Fire & Resistance
Had there been no workers, there would have been no
production of goods and services and, therefore, no profit. But, under capitalist regime, these workers
are being squeezed and exploited most. As the crisis of the capitalist system
deepens and aggravates, such exploitation becomes more atrocious, more heinous
and more blood-sucking.
The attempts to introduce the system of “hire and fire” have been going on since
the onset of the neoliberal policies. Successive governments at the Centre and
in many states made hell-bent efforts to change the labour laws. The proposal
to change the Industrial Disputes Act to allow employers in all establishments,
employing up to 300 workers, to retrench workers or declare closure without government’s
prior permission had been initiated in the mid nineties itself. These comprise
more than 70% of the industrial establishments in the country employing more
than 78% of the industrial workforce. But that could not be achieved by the government
owing to consistent united resistance by the trade union movement of the
country. In fact, latest proposal of the Modi government on Code on Industrial
Relations Bill also pressed for the same proposals on “hire and fire” i.e. complete freedom to employers’ class to
retrench workers at their will, which even the Modi sponsored trade union
centre could not endorse publicly.
The united movement of the working class in the
country which is getting consistently and continuously widened in the process
of countrywide struggles could successfully stall such retrograde move changing
the labour laws for introducing “hire and
fire” till now.
Contractorisation and Casualisation Route
In this background, the governments, led by BJP, have
resorted to most dubious means of circumstantially empowering the employers’
class to retrench workers at their will even without changing legal framework
through innovative as well as satanic administrative measures. The ground for
such aggressive onslaught of “hire and
fire” has been set through widespread contractorisation and casualisation
of labour which got additional momentum since the inception of neoliberal
policy regime in early 1990s itself. It is not that prior to 1990s contract
system was not there. But such contract work had been prevalent mainly in
peripheral and supportive jobs in most of the establishments and not that much
in core operational jobs. And even in those peripheral jobs, particularly those
of permanent and perennial nature, deployment of contract workers was
continuing illegally in violation of the Contract Labour (Regulation &
Abolition) Act 1970, with the direct indulgence of the concerned governments. Even
in that situation, wherever the contract workers could be organised in trade
unions and struggles could be conducted, they could be regularised in many
industries till mid 1980s.
But since 1991 onward, such unlawful deployment of
contract workers even in core operational jobs of the establishment
proliferated in a big way through active indulgence of the government
machineries reaching almost an explosive proportion of the total workforce by
now. Even the Supreme Court Judgment put hurdles on regularisation of contract
workers deployed in permanent and perennial nature of jobs as per the law of
the land. As per official estimates
(Employment -Unemployment Survey conducted by Labour Bureau under the Labour
Ministry-2015-16) 46.6% of the workforce were found to be self employed, as per
Usual Principal Status Approach followed by 32.8% as casual labour. Only 20.7%
are wage/salaried workers including contract workers. As per the same survey
report, 64.9% of the wage/salaried workers and 67.8% of the contract workers
and 95.3% of the casual workers do not have any written job contracts (and/or
appointment letters).This itself reveals the extremely temporary character of
employment of majority of the wage/salaried workers in the country. The same
report also revealed that 67.5% of the self-employed (46.6% of the total
workforce) have an average monthly income up to Rs 7500, 57.2% of wage/salaried
workers have a monthly income up to Rs.10,000 and 38.5% of the contract workers
and 59.3% of the casual workers have a monthly income of up to Rs 5000. The
entire findings of the Survey Report clearly reveal that overwhelming majority
of the country’s workforce in industries and services are on contract, only a
small proportion are on regular permanent employment. Even among the majority
of self-employed, contract system is in operation in hidden form.
Annual Survey of Industries and also the reports
published by Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy brought forth industry
specific details of contract work. According to these reports, petroleum sector
accounts for 56.21% contract workers out of its total workforce, basic metal (steel,
aluminium etc) 46.5%, automobile including trucks and trailers 45.95%, tobacco
products 72.83%, pharmaceuticals and chemicals 47.19%, non-metallic minerals
60.37% etc. Of these the public sector itself accounts for around 50% contract
workers out of the total workforce and the private sector entities are
employing around 70% of its total workforce as contract workers of different
hues.
The alarming extent to which workers are being
severely exploited through contract system is thus clear. In public sector
industries, contract workers are generally being paid less than one tenth of
the wage of the regular workers despite doing the same and similar work, not to
speak of other benefits. In private
sector, contract workers’ wage is well below 50% of the wages being paid to
regular workers. Majority of the contract workers are deprived of any social
security benefits despite being legally entitled for the same. But the very
temporary nature of service as contract workers, keeping them under constant
threat of retrenchment, does not allow the contract workers to demand such
benefits to which they are legally entitled.
Not only that. The clear stipulation of the section 25
of the Rules framed under Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition) Act 1970
providing for payment of same wages as regular workers to the contract workers for
doing the same and similar jobs is not being implemented by the concerned governments
subjecting the contract workers to severe exploitation.
New Routes for “Ease of Doing Business”
It is in this background of extreme vulnerability of
employment relations of majority of country’s workforce even in the organised
sector itself, that the present BJP government has been introducing measures one
after another to virtually empower the employers’ class with the complete right
to “hire and fire” at will. This is
being done in their anxiety to ensure so called “ease of doing business”.
First, Outsourcing
The first is to allow employers to deploy of contract
workers in regular jobs through different nomenclatures viz., outsourcing, job
contracts, commercial contracts etc. It is argued that no contractor has been
engaged for doing the jobs but the entire work has been outsourced to another
agency for a price; so the principal employer has no responsibility over the
workers working in the outsourced agencies, although they are actually working
for the principal employer. Thus these workers are sought to be thrown out of
the purview of the Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition) Act 1970 and
principal employers, mostly the large corporates are completely freed from
their statutory obligations. There are numerous cases where the labour
departments, both in the centre and the states refused to entertain or attend complaints
or industrial disputes raised by the workers of the outsourced agencies on
violation of the Contract Labour (R&A) Act.
Second, Fixed Term Employment
Second, introduction of the system of “fixed term employment” through
amendment of the Rules under Industrial Employment Standing Order Act through
executive order has opened the floodgate of employment of temporary workers in
all organised sector establishments, both in public and private sectors. The
fixed term employment was first introduced during the earlier BJP regime in
2002 despite vehement opposition by all the trade unions in the country.
Subsequently, owing to consistent pressure and persuasion by the trade union
movement, the UPA government had to rescind the notification on “fixed term employment in 2007. But
again, after the new incarnation of the BJP government under Narendra Modi this
atrocious provision has again been introduced in 2017 ignoring the opposition
of the entire trade union movement. As per this provision the employers will be
allowed to employ workers for a fixed term say 6 months or one year and after
the completion of the tenure those workers can be retrenched without any notice
and compensation, unless their tenure is renewed for another fixed term. This
has introduced further fragility in the employment relations keeping the
concerned workers under constant threat of retrenchment or non-renewal of their
tenure.
Although as per rules, workers on fixed term employment are eligible for the same wage as the regular
workers in the concerned establishment, the temporary nature of their
employment and consequent fear of jobloss do not allow them to demand the same
enabling the employers to take advantage of the situation. This phenomenon is
prevalent even in public sector companies. Employees of Alliance Air, a
subsidiary of Air India, who are all on fixed
term employment since last 15 years or so through periodic renewal of their
terms, have been getting much less wages and benefits than the Air India
employees. Similar examples are there in other PSUs and private companies as
well. Even in a PSU like ONGC, highly
skilled workers in on-shore and off-shore exploration jobs are being deployed
on “fixed term employment”. And, after notification of “fixed term employment” last year, reports
are being received from many states on private sector units aggressively
resorting to this route of fixed term
employment while simultaneously retrenching regular workers on one plea or the
other.
Third, NEEM & NETAP
The latest move of ‘temporarising’ the employment
pattern for greater exploitation of labour is through engagement of apprentices
in a big way. The amendment to the Apprentices Act along with introduction of
the National Skill Development Programme titled National Employability Enhancement
Mission (NEEM) and National Employment Through Apprenticeship Programme (NETAP)
is another gift by the BJP government led by Modi to its corporate bosses. These
schemes are being introduced under the camouflage of loud slogans of improving
and advancing the skill-level of country’s youth to ensure greater
employability. But in practice, they are sinister designs to get the workers’
jobs done by apprentices, without any obligation to retain or pay them right
wages and social security benefits and, thereby, make a savings of the
employers on labour cost. As is already being
witnessed in various industries, apprentices are being utilised as workers on
the production lines year after year denying them all benefits of regular
workers. Most of the MNCs are now availing this route of brazen exploitation.
Other private majors have also started making use of this instrument to
accentuate exploitation of workers.
The Project “Ease
of Doing Business”
The picture is becoming abundantly clear. The entire
project of so called “ease of doing
business” is practically aimed at more severe exploitation and loot on
labour who actually keeps the wheel of production and services running. There
is no programme for making power, transport and other industrial raw-materials
and inputs cheaper for the business and industries since all those areas are
separate profit centres for the same private corporate. Hence exploitation of
labour is main life-line of their project of “ease of doing business”.
The BJP government has been working overtime to
facilitate such inhuman exploitation and extraction of sweat and blood of
labour without any hurdles. Their aim is not to allow the workers to organise
in unions and also weaken the trade union movement through introducing extreme
heterogeneity in the composition of workforce within every workplace viz.,
Handful of regular workers, larger number of contract
workers, fixed term employees and apprentices – all doing the same jobs with
widely divergent and different wage and service conditions.
It is a criminal conspiracy that through this process
they want to impose conditions of slavery on the entire workforce.
Part of Neoliberal Drive
This criminal conspiracy of imposing slavery on the working people flows
from the working of the crisis ridden neoliberal capitalist order. Hence our
fight must be directed against the very exploitative neoliberal policies and
their political operators at the helm of governance, whosoever it may be. At
this juncture it is the RSS led BJP government at the centre and in most of the
states. This criminal conspiracy must be thoroughly exposed and squarely
defeated by the working class movement.
Forward to 2
Days Strike to Defeat Design of Imposing Slavery
The two days’ countrywide strike on 8-9 January 2019
called by the united platform of trade unions is aimed at cementing the unity
and determination of the working class to mount stout resistance to this
conspiracy and oust the conspirator class in the governance decisively.
Designs of imposing slavery on the workers and the
people will not pass!
Employment Generation – A Major Issue of the General Strike on 8-9 January 2019
= Hemalata
‘Where is my job?’ This is the question troubling the
minds of hundreds of lakhs of young people across the country. They want concrete
answers from the government on just one of the many pre poll promises made by
Modi and his BJP in 2014 to attract the young and get their votes. But, the
Modi government acted deaf.
What is the employment situation in the country today,
when the BJP led government is at the fag end of its tenure?
During the Parliament elections in 2014, BJP promised
that, if voted to power, it would provide 2 crore jobs every year. After coming
to power the Modi government has embarked upon an illusion creating spree of
announcing various programmes – ‘Make in India’, ‘Skill India’, ‘Start Up
India’, ‘Digital India’, ‘Pradhan Mantri Rojgar Protsahan Yojana (PMRPY)’ etc
and etc, which it claimed would generate employment.
How many jobs did these schemes and programmes really
generate? Let us just look at a few newspaper reports that show a highly
disturbing situation.
·
1.9 crore appeared for the Railway Recruitment Board
exam to fill 62907 posts, mostly of gang men, gatemen, helpers in electrical
and mechanical departments. A large number of them were postgraduates.
·
23 lakhs applied for 400 class IV jobs in UP. 50000 of
them were graduates
·
25 lakhs appeared for the exam for 6000 class IV jobs
in West Bengal; many of them were graduates and post graduates
·
More than 2 lakhs appeared for 1137 posts of police
constables in Mumbai. While the basic qualification was 12th
standard, 543 were postgraduates and 425 were engineering graduates
Many more similar instances can be cited: engineers
driving auto rickshaws, MBAs working as shop attendants, post graduates as
servers in restaurants etc. They are not doing these jobs for fun. They are
compelled to take up such low paying jobs, despite their high educational
qualifications, because they could not find suitable and better jobs.
Most probably, many of the lakhs of educated youth are
also selling ‘pakodas’ as suggested by the Prime Minister or running ‘pan
shops’ or ‘rearing cows’ as per the advice of the BJP chief minister of
Tripura. But obviously they do not share the view of the Prime Minister Modi
and the president of his party Amit Shah that such a ‘job’ in which one earns
‘Rs 200 a day’ with no guarantee of work the next day can be called
‘employment’. That is why they wanted a secure job with guaranteed income, even
if it does not obviously meet their original aspirations.
Apart from the ground level experience, data from
several prestigious institutions show the worsening unemployment situation.
The ‘State of Working India 2018’ report of Azim Premji University states
that between 2013 and 2015 total employment actually shrank by 70 lakhs; more
recent data from other such eminent agencies show that the absolute decline has
continued past 2015.
It is reported that 15000 – 20000 people lost their jobs in the telecom sector
during the six months period ending 30th September 2018. The
staffing firm TeamLease Services estimates that 65000 telecom workers will lose
their jobs by 31st March 2019.
According to a report by IndiaSpend, fewest organised sector jobs
in seven years were created in large companies and factories across eight
important industries in the country in 2015. 60% of those with jobs do not find
employment for the entire year which indicates widespread underemployment and
temporary jobs.
The
report pointed out that though India had seen high growth after 1991, less than
half the population was fully employed.
Employment in the information technology sector has
also dropped drastically in 2017-18 though these companies’ revenue has shown a
decent growth. They are increasingly resorting to use of automation and higher technologies.
According to some experts, the slowdown in hiring and the reduction in the
number of employees, is taking place much faster than anticipated.
According to the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy
(CMIE) unemployment rate in the country increased to 6.9%, the highest in two
years. The number of persons employed in October 2018 was 39.7 crore. This was
40.7 crore in October 2017. 90 lakh jobs were lost in 11 months, up to
September 2018 (Financial Express
26-9-2018). CMIE data also show that ‘joblessness is
rising steadily from 3% of the potential workforce on 30th July 2017
to 8% on 23rd September 2018. This is a 167% increase in joblessness
in just 14 months’. A new feature according to the report is the high rate of
open unemployment, which is 16% for youth and the higher educated.
The trend of negative employment generation reported
by these two non government agencies matches with the reports of the employment-unemployment
surveys of Labour ministry that 2014 onwards net employment generation
(including job losses owing to closure shut downs etc) has turned negative.
There is an absolute decline in employment in the economy despite increase in
GDP. The Labour Bureau reports of 2014 – 15 and 2015-16 reveal that hardly 3.7
lakh new jobs were created in the eight most labour intensive sectors including
construction and IT, during this period. Of course, most of these jobs were
temporary and contractual in nature. How did the BJP government react to these
reports? It has stopped publishing of such reports by the Labour Bureau since
2016-17 on the pretext of revising the survey procedure.
But during the same period, at least 15 lakh jobs were
lost due to shut downs, closures, lay off etc in industries and services. As
majority of workers in industrial establishments are contract, casual/temporary
etc, any decision to cut down production due to recession etc immediately
results in retrenchment/ termination of services of these workers. Under the
present BJP regime led by Modi, such cut down in production has become a
regular feature.
The fact is that employment is on a downward trend. As
this became clear, the BJP government started an aggressive campaign of false
claims to cover its failure. It even involved various government run
institutions like the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) in this lie
campaign. Led by the Prime Minister himself, ministers in the BJP government
are competing with each other in spreading misinformation on employment
generation to deceive people.
The Prime Minister claimed that 46 lakh jobs were
created in 2017-18. The finance minister in his budget speech claimed that 70
lakh jobs have been created in the same period. Not to be outdone, the EPFO,
obviously at the behest of the Labour Ministry, claimed that only in July 2018,
10 lakh new jobs have been generated. The latest is the claim that 85 lakh
people have got jobs under the PMRPY.
What is the reality? The PMRPY is in fact a fraudulent
project, which was announced by the Prime Minister in August 2016. Under this
programme the employers’ contribution to Provident Fund for the new employees
in the concerned establishment, will be paid by the government for a period of
three years, as an incentive to employment generation. Through this programme,
the BJP government under Modi has started a new kind of subsidy to the
employers. It is shouldering employers’ statutory obligation on PF contribution,
funding it from the national exchequer. The resultant increase in the number of
EPF subscribers is shown as ‘employment generation’. The fact is that large
numbers of workers who have been working are not covered by EPF despite being
eligible for that owing to the failure of the enforcement machinery. Many
employers deliberately flout the law. Under the PMRPY of the present BJP
government, this failure of the enforcement machinery and deliberate violation
of law is being covered up by huge transfer of people’s money to subsidise the
employers. On the other this inclusion of already existing workers under EPF is
dubiously shown as employment generation. This is how the BJP government under
Modi is trying to serve its corporate masters and at the same time cheat the
people. It might have disappointed the employment seeking youth. But it has
satisfied the profit hungry corporates and big business. India’s ranking on
‘Ease of Doing Business Index’ has gone up from 130 to 100 and now further to
77. It wants to take it to under 50 by pursuing the same neoliberal policies,
which have proved to be disastrous for the common people and the future of our
youth.
Some of the ministers in the BJP government like Nitin
Gadkari, though inadvertently, and a few bureaucrats were compelled to admit
the truth. Reacting to the demands for reservation in jobs for the Marathas, Nitin Gadkari, the Surface Transport Minister in the Modi government,
shot back asking ‘Where are the jobs?’ The Prime Minister’s claims in Parliament,
citing EPFO payroll data, that 10 million jobs were created in the past year
alone, were recently punctured by the chief statistician who said ‘EPFO
enrolment data never talked about job creation’.
More than 50% of population in the country is below
the age of 25 and more than 65% below the age of 35. It is estimated that India
will have the largest number of working people in the world, around 87 crore,
within four years. Our country can achieve great strides in development in all
spheres by utilising this huge potential by employing their energies and
creativity in the production process, services etc. But under the capitalist
system, particularly in its latest and most predatory phase of neoliberalism,
which the BJP government under Modi is aggressively pursuing, this cannot
happen.
The perception, that economic growth by itself would
create jobs, has been proved to be wrong by several reports at the national as
well as international levels. The Azim Premji University ‘State of Working
India 2018’ report also states that under neoliberalism growth was creating
fewer jobs in the country. ‘In the 1970 and 1980s, when GDP growth was around
3-4%, employment growth was around 2% per year. In the 1990s and particularly
in the 2000s, GDP growth has accelerated to 7% but employment has slowed to 1%
per year or even less’.
Employment situation has worsened under the neoliberal
regime with steep fall in permanent jobs and increase in precarious jobs like
contract, casual, temporary, fixed term, part time, apprentices, trainees etc.
The situation has further worsened after the systemic crisis which started in
2008 and is still continuing. Such crises are integral to the capitalist system
and the employers seek to protect their profits by shifting the burden on to
the workers. Increasing unemployment is one of the outcomes of this.
The joint trade union movement has been raising the
demand for employment generation since long. It has been demanding that the
concessions and exemptions being given to the big corporates should be linked
to job creation. But the government totally ignored the demand. While every
year tax exemptions of around Rs 5 lakh crore are given away to the big
corporates, employment generation is becoming negative. Money due to the
government is money due to the people. That is being waived off on the pretext
that this will create jobs. But this has become a chimera. Net employment
generation is turning negative. Whatever employment that is created, is of very
poor quality, indecent, with no job security, income security or social
security.
Employment generation is one of the 12 points demands
raised by the country wide general strike on 8-9 January 2019 called by the
joint trade union movement. The two days’ strike is part of the continuous
struggle against the anti worker anti people and anti national neoliberal
regime, which the BJP led government of Modi is pursuing with increased vigour
and brutality.
Not only that. The BJP leading the government and its
ideological mentor, the RSS are trying to divert the attention of the people
and particularly the energies of the youth into unproductive and destructive
channels. The RSS and its many outfits are utilising the frustration among the
youth against lack of jobs, against lack of opportunities to develop their
talents and creativity etc to create animosities on the basis of religion,
caste, region etc, to polarise society for the electoral gains of the BJP. The
issues of construction of Ram mandir at Ayodhya, the instigations against
Supreme Court judgment allowing entry of women of all ages to the Sabarimala
temple, the increasing attacks on minorities and dalits etc being engineered by
the RSS and its various outfits are meant to achieve such polarisation of
society. They are meant to divide - the working class, youth and society in
general, disrupt people’s unity and weaken the fight against the neoliberal
policies. The working class must be vigilant against any such attempts, protect
its unity and defeat such divisive machinations.
Employment, along with many other issues on which the
two days’ strike focuses, is an issue as much of all sections of the people as
it is of the workers.
CITU appeals to the entire working class irrespective
of their trade union or political affiliations to join the two days’ strike.
CITU also appeals to all toiling people and all
sections of society to extend their solidarity and all forms of support to the
strike.
