I agree Gurumurthi. It is not just an amendment which is required but we need effective implementation of these laws. I should say that Kerala should be the sole state where where you can see effective implementation of labour laws. Still there are employees who say that they are not given whatever they deserve as per law. That means in Kerala also the implementation is just 80%. The other side of the situation is the reaction of investors, that for them Kerala is the least interested place because for them Kerala owns the credit of more hartals and strikes and Kerala is a place where there are a lot of trade unions . But they will never that we need a place where we can do our business with a free hire and fire policy, where we need not pay even the wages calculated as per the old Economic theory of wages, viz, Subsistence Theory of wages, where we need not any thing else like, Bonus, PF, ESI and nothing!! But in reality the companies who have gained profits are those who have recognised the importance of these labour laws and applied the industrial relations theories in practice.
