The International Labor Organization of the United Nations Labor Agency has warned India of suspension of labor law and violation of workers' rights at the time of Kovid-19.

Three provinces of India, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat have suspended labor laws. These three provinces are ruled by the ruling BJP at the center of India. Uttar Pradesh has suspended labor laws for three years while in Gujarat also labor laws are being suspended. In the last April itself, the working hours in Gujarat factories have been increased to 12 hours daily.

According to news agency Reuters, so far such news has come out from six states. It is being said that these states are taking these steps to improve the economy. Most of these are those states with ruling BJP governments at the center.

But the International Labor Organization has said that any such step can be taken only after talks between the government, workers and employers. Any change in the labor law without doing so would be a violation of international labor standards.
