I am Pushparani from Vadanimalai. James sir spoke in IVS. He spoke about labour laws and said there are more than 44 laws among them 10-12 important laws are there. All labors should know about the laws. From many years they are working without any knowledge. Even after working for 10 years they are still getting less than Rs.12000 salary. When labors are asking they are saying that is what govt has suggested. If you could tell more about such laws, we can get use out of it. So we would like to request James sir to tell more about those 10-12 laws.
