Construction Workers’ Federation of India (CWFI) has questioned the recent launch of the Digital Labour Chowk Portal/App, the establishment of Labour Felicitation Centres (LCFCs), and the new Online Building and Construction Workers Cess Collection Portal by the Union Labour Ministry.
The federation said all such schemes are being implemented without consultations with the trade unions and are intended to ‘de-unionise’ construction workers and help employers. Citing “fundamental flaws” and “anti-worker implications” of the new measures, the CWFI demanded the Centre to immediately stop the roll-out of the schemes.
