New Delhi: The new labour law reforms are a significant step for India’s working class, said the workers’ union on Saturday.

The government has replaced the earlier 29 labour codes with four new labour codes, making the regulatory framework more streamlined and effective for the workforce.

The four Labour Codes include the Code on Wages, 2019, the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, the Code on Social Security, 2020, and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020.
