Subject: Request for Suggestions and Objections on Revised Draft Labour Policy
A draft Labour Policy, 2011 was published on the Government website ‘www.maharashtra.gov.in’ in
November, 2010. Based on suggestions and objections raised and internal discussions in the said
regard, changes have been incorporated and a revised Draft Labour Policy Document. This has also
been made more pointwise as was suggested by some of the stakeholders.
This Labour Policy 2011 represents a statement of intentions. It provides guidelines for future
action but, in itself, is not legally binding. It may, however, lead to the introduction of new laws to
give positive expression to stated intentions and thus provides a framework for change.
This Policy Document represents a statement of the Government’s intentions concerning the world of
work and thus provides guidelines for interactions between workers and employers in the organized
sector, the role of trade unions and employers’ organizations, guidelines for the protection of workers
in the unorganized sector, including of persons in self-employment, and guidelines for the
intervention of government directed to ensuring policy intentions are actually implemented.
You are requested to give your valuable suggestions and objections on the Policy Document upto
31st March, 2012 on following adress,to enrich it and make it more valuable for both workers and
employers in the unorganized and organized sector.
