I am Ponnusamy. I am here to tell you an information about Local and Internal Complaints Committee. In India 90% of labours are unorganised labours. They are the owners for 50% of country's production. There is a lack of proper and enough labour laws to give justice to unorganised labours. Its been 16 years that Govt has implemented Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013. 4th section emphasis to form internal complaint committee by Dist officer. Only after 6 years i. e May 22nd 2019 women and child welfare ministry reminded Govt and private sector to form internal complaint committee. It is clear that in any workplace it is not available. Now we should keep in mind the plan on merging 44 labour laws into 4 laws. So all union who work for unorganised workers, check whether ICC for unorgansed workers has been formed. Who are the officials who are members in it. Only then you can complain about sexual abuses happening with women. On behalf of TLRF i request all union to do it.
