These
objectives are sought to be achieved through enactment and
implementation of various labor laws, which regulate the terms and
conditions of service and employment of workers.
The State Governments are also competent to enact legislations,
as labor is a subject in the concurrent list under the Constitution of
India.
India
is a founder member of the International Labor Organization, which came
into existence in 1919. At present the ILO has 175 Members. A unique feature of the ILO is its tripartite character.
The membership of the ILO ensures the growth of tripartite system
in the Member countries. At
every level in the Organization, Governments are associated with the two
other social partners, namely the workers and employers.
All the three groups are represented on almost all the
deliberative organs of the ILO and share responsibility in conducting
its work.
India
continues to adhere to the stand that all matters related to
international labor standards are to be agitated only in the relevant
forum of the ILO and that the comparative advantage of countries,
particularly developing countries, must in no way be put into question.
India continues to reject the use of labor standards for
protectionist purposes and any attempt to link labor standards with
trade will be vehemently opposed invariably, even if isolated by other
countries.
